Venum is a pretty cool Brazilian fight company. They are based in Brazil and have offices in New York. They sponsor fighters such as Frankie Edgar, Lyoto Machida, and Sean Sherk.
They have a REALLY nice website and are very active on their Twitter account, should you ever need to get ahold of them.

I know that Vulkan is extremely well known, and probably does not need an additional evaluation, however i wanted give my take anyways.
My school is really 90% Vulkan equipment, so I was already pretty sure what to expect so far as appearance, but nobody has the blue Vulkan Ultra Light. Very razor-sharp! This really is only my second uniform, along with my first as being a Gameness Pearl. The very first thing I figured was “holy crap, this thing is soft!” I don’t know if I’m washing my Gameness wrong or something like that, however that thing is actually beyond rigid.
The Atama Ultra Light kimonos are their lightest kimonos. You get the same high quality you’d expect from Atama. These are great for hot weather training or competitions like the IBJJF where you weigh in with the gi on. It’s cut just like their Mundial models (see Mundial 9 gi review here) and has no seam in the back.
The Atama Gi Ultra Light is soft just like you’d expect from the a lightweight gi and weighs between 3-4lbs. It’s not as light as some gis (weighing in around 1-2lbs.) but certainly will be more durable as its heavier. It features Atama’s ripstop pants that, personally, I have never seen or heard of having ripped (mine are still solid after years with them) unlike other brands ‘ripstop’ pants that rip all the time. These ultra lights aren’t as light as some of the truly super light gis that are out there, but the Atama Ultra Light Gis will probably last longer than a lot of others.
This company was founded is 2003. Vulkan prides itself on producing exceptionally lightweight gis that are also durable, and provide a comfortable rolling or competition experience. With these characteristics, they’ve really distinguished themselves and become one of the top brands.
They ship all over the world and are carried by a lot of the top distributors. Given their mission statement, they’re a socially conscious company who genuinely care about more than profit. That, and I love the graphic they’ve used on their site to show that. Well done, Vulkan.
If you are on the market for an ultra lightweight 100% rip stop travel gi, you may want to seriously consider the BJJ Globetrotters Super Light Travel gi. This gi has a lot going for it including durability due to its amazing materials and comfort and its embroideries and patchwork are beautiful.
