I've only had this gi for a few months and its held out well. At one of the places I train the mats are a bit shitty because of the boxers who train before us wearing outside shoes on them. My coach suggested buying a blue gi and I figured I might as well treat myself to a nice Vulkan Pro Light. The Vulkan size guide says that I need an A2 (I'm 5ft10 and 80kg) and that the gi's are pre shrunk. Is there any truth to this claim. Should I risk an A2 or get A3 again?<br /><br />KirkGRINNER-MATEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03555206958168179734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724305.post-48450692763825182892010-11-05T19:54:54.973+00:002010-11-05T19:54:54.973+00:00To date has there been any shrinkage of the pant l...To date has there been any shrinkage of the pant length? Also what about the jacket, they claim a maximum of 10% total shrinkage on their website has that been the case? And what is the collar thickness in cm? Other than from them is there another online dealer for this one, I am highly interested in it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724305.post-11669277570310096842009-07-21T21:08:04.126+01:002009-07-21T21:08:04.126+01:00Nice review.

Some people have mentioned to me that tapered sleeve gis, like the Koral, Atama and Vulkan, that have shrunk a little too much in the wash, have led to disqualifications by the gi checker at IBJJF competitions.<br /><br />2. Some people have reported that some makes of gi (especially the cheaper ones) that have thinner cotton trousers, have a tendency to rip.Meerkatsuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04147715586194844173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724305.post-61138221064770816452009-07-20T00:42:28.365+01:002009-07-20T00:42:28.365+01:00ADDENDA - erm sorry despite what I said at the top...ADDENDA - erm sorry despite what I said at the top, most of the pictures you can't click on to get full size versions.
