The Alpha gi by Arte Suave is one of my favorite Gi designs in recent memory, but it falls short in the comfort department. It is the lightest of the light. If you are on safari or traversing the Sahara, this Gi might be for you.

Arriving at the end of June is the new RS LITE from Howard Combat Kimonos. This is a 100% cotton Rip Stop weave Jiu Jitsu uniform that is very light weight but steely strong. The pants are made of the same fabric as the jacket. The uniform is made of 420 gram 100% cotton woven in the rip stop pattern, unlike the typical rip stop weave that is a poly/cotton blend. The all cotton weave makes for a very breatheable and comfortable fabric, and a balanced strength within the fabric. Poly/cotton blends are not as breatheable and because polyester threads are stronger than cotton threads, there is an imbalance of strength to the fabric which can result in the fabric tearing under stress, such as pulling and tugging.
