Karate Suit

P-405

Description:

A karate suit, commonly known as a gi (pronounced "gee"), is a traditional uniform worn by practitioners of karate. It typically consists of a lightweight cotton jacket and pants, designed for comfort and ease of movement. The jacket features a crossover design with a v-neck, and the uniform is usually white, although other colors may be used depending on the style or school.

Material and Weight:

Most karate gis are made from cotton canvas, which provides durability and breathability.

Standard weights range from 0.34 kg (12 oz) to 0.45 kg (16 oz), with heavier fabrics offering more rigidity and better moisture-wicking properties.

Heavier gis produce a more pronounced sound during techniques, which some practitioners prefer for the auditory feedback it provides.
