Ive worn my flow alpine pro gi for over a year and its been one of my favorites. Especially for the warmer days. Its lightweight but still very durable. The lapel is more rigid than other lightweight gis. Im 5-10, 180# and the A2 is spot on with minimal shrinkage. I also have the Air and Pro Series which are both great as well (and are IBJJF legal). Well worth getting one on sale.   

I have this rash guard. Its legit and the silocone waist band is huge upgrade compared to the inverted and phalanx. Whenever i wear it i have no problem sub’n the trial class kids.   

Definitely recommend this gi. I love mine and A2 sizing is perfect for 180lbs, 5’10”. Ive had it over a year and its still holding up great. The patches are a little frayed after so much use and not embroidered like their Pro or Air series. I own 4 Flow gis and so do several other teammates. I currently live in Africa so the lighter weight is much apreciated!  

Its not terrible (like yellow & orange tiger stripes). And its more functional than “cooler” looking brands.  

My typical fierce combat scene is me on the toilet the morning after tacobell chased with jagerbombs. This rashie might help with the heavy sweating.  

Fuji gis are sized for girthy guys. The gis also have very little shrinkage. I used hot wash and hot dry with barely any affect to the fit. This was for the 550gsm so maybe the 350gsm will shrink a bit more.

Im 5-10 @ 180 and I was swimming in the A3 even though my dimensions are in the middle of the size range. Recommend sizing yourself at the top of the range.   

Ive had mine over a year. Its held up well but the fit does cut into my armpits more than other rashies. If it had the rubber waistband like tatami it would be better.

FYI future kimonos has their under dawg rashie on sale. For $60 you get a ranked rashie with your name, flag, city, and @ tag  

The mens version doesnt get the tramp stamp logo 😔  

I dont have a bamboo panda gi, but my ultralight panda gi fits fairly well (A2, 5’10” 180#).

I do complain about the ripstop pants, which may be the same with the bamboo gi - the material is always very coarse and rigid after hang drying. The pants can almost stand on their own. I have to wear full spats under these. Only after warmups and getting sweaty do they feel comfortable-ish. I dont have this issue with my other ripstop pants (flow, kitsune, habrok).   

I too grabbed one of these last time - its been a great bag. I carry 3 gis plus tape, knee brace, water, and other goodies (I bring spares for the trial folks). Its a steal at this price.   

Distressed exterior. Just like my jiu jitsu.   

Some kudos to Progress - its not terrible. I’ve see way worse green gi designs that cost more.   

It’s not terrible. Better than the usual dragons and camo patterns.   

Key piece of info: the waistband on tatami rash guards is highly under rated. After getting my first one, i stopped wearing other brands (panda, phalanx) and bought more tatami. They hold up better, have cooler temps, and easy wash/dry.

BTW better pricing on tatamis site for clearance.   

Are the mats in your gym rated for dump trucks?  

Those “direct print” logos didnt last long on my kitsune. Half of the logo has washed off after a dozen washes. But its only cosmetic - the gi still fits like day 2. Its my favorite all-around gi for fit and feel.   

My fuji duffel arrived yesterday   

Spats with or without shorts; which is acceptable?  

Saying this gi is good for hardcore training would imply there is softcore training.   

I bought this gi the last time it was on here. Its a solid gi and isnt showing any signs of wear or shrinkage after dozens of sessions. Its heavy though, which I like when I really want to work on my conditioning. And of course it keeps you cozy warm with the heavyweight jacket and twill pants.

The sizing for Fuji is a little more bulky than other brands. Im 5-10, 180# and usually A2. I bought this Fuji in A3 based on the chart. Theres extra length at my hands and feet and plenty of room inside. I tried warm wash and warm dry but hardly noticable shrinkage. I would likely fit A2 better.

Overall definitely recommend this gi at this price!  

Does anyone know if the Fuji fits fairly tailored or is it a bit roomy? I realize its body-type specific, but compared to other gis within the same sizes.
