Pro Force Gladiator

I've been using this for nearly a year now and I really like it. The sizing worked out really well (I got a size 5, I'm about 6'2" and 220 lbs), although I will say the pants were a little longer than I expected. That being said, the pants have plenty of room to be pulled up to counteract that, so it works out just fine and doesn't get too tight in the groin area. They're pretty comfortable to wear, not super heavy, and keep in place quite well. I've worn it through nearly a years worth of classes plus testing (always with an undershirt), and they've held up perfectly and still maintain their nice white color (i.e. no yellowing pits yet). Wash them with lights and hang them up, don't put them through the dryer (and don't put them in with towels, they ended up with towel fuzz all over them when I did that).

Bought these as pajamas to wear around the house. Size 6 was true to size and I would say the chart they offer is accurate. The material is a very heavy cotton-polyester blend that is triple and even quadruple stitched in places like the hems. The color is a deep cyan-turquoise... almost a deep sky blue in color. The pants... yeah. OK, so the waist is correct... could be a little roomier, but nothing to deduct a star over. The length is *way* too long. I just took some heavy duty nylon thread and needle and closed up the opening at the ankle by ~15 cm. This way I don't walk on the excess fabric without shortening the length of the legs. This keeps them roomy and relaxed in fit and feel. If you're going to use these as an actual gi, then plan on having the leg cuffs altered. I can't really take away a star since the chart says I should be taller for my weight... Comes with the jacket and two tie-points, pants with a lackluster shoestring waist tie, and a white-belt that is made of the same heavy duty material and is stitched quite heavily. For the Summer, I'm just wearing a set of lightweight cotton shorts with the jacket and it is very comfortable.

My son is in Isshin-Ryu karate. His first uniform was the light weight "starter" uniform by ProForce. I hated how cheap it looked, so I decided to get him something nicer. He has worn this uniform 4 - 5 days a week for the last 10 months, with me washing it at least twice a week. I have never put it in the dryer, as I think that is the trick with these uniforms. It still looks great after all of this time. Slight wear on the pant cuffs, and softening of the fabric on the sleeves after months of repeated movement. Otherwise, perfect.Sizing is good. He was 10 when we purchased the gi. He was around 5'1" and 110 pds. The jacket was too big, but I wanted it big because he's a growing boy. I recommend this gi for the long haul. I anticipate that he will be able to wear this for at least another year.

I am 5’6 170 pounds. After reading the sizing chart I determined that a size 3 would have been the best fit for me. Once I had struggled to put the gi top on and the bottom of it was at my groin. In my experience not every Gi is going to fit perfect, either the pants are too long or the top is too big vice versa. Did not fit, great quality material though.

When I ordered this gi I ordered according to the size chart. The first one I ordered was huge (size 6) - it would have fit my husband better than my 15 year old son (my son is about 5'9", 140 lbs) - but we still needed one so I had to return it and get a smaller size. You may want to consider ordering at least one size smaller as I ended up going down one size (size 5) and, not wanting to return a second one, washed the new one several times in hot water and dried it in a hot dryer only to still have it pretty big. Also make sure you check the return policy as when I ordered this I assumed since I have prime I would get free return shipping but in fact did not. I ended up having to pay return shipping which was almost half the price of the product!The quality of the gi itself is great! As I stated before, it washes great, I didn't have much shrinkage which is normally a great thing. The weight of the gi was perfect for his class, not too thin but heavy enough to stand up to throws and grappling.

I got this Gi for my Ken(Street Fighter) costume for comic-con because I knew it would be better quality than buying an actual costume and it looked and felt great. I'm 6' 155-160lbs and bought both a size 3 and a size 4 because I needed something slightly fitted and not too baggy and wasn't sure how the sizes would fit. The size 3 was perfect for the costume, the pants were just the right length and fit well, as well did the top. The size 4 was baggy for the costume but I could see it being much more functional if I were to use the Gi for its intended purpose. The pants in the 4 would have dragged a little but I don't think that's a big concern in martial arts where as my movement(especially kicks) would have been restricted in the size 3. It's really good quality and the price was very reasonable

I'm 5'10" 195 lbs so based on the sizing recommendations in the description I ordered a size 4. Should have went with a size 5 like I wear in most gi. The pants fit ok but the jacket body is too short, the sleeves are ok. the slits in the side of the jacket end above the waist of the pants so I'd have bare skin showing from the side of the gi if I wore this, pretty sure that's not right.Material wise it seems fine for an entry level gi. It's not worth messing with a return for the price so I'll just make someone a good deal at the dojo.

Ordered the ProForce Gladiator 7.5 oz. Elastic Drawstring Medium Weight Uniform size 00 for our (beginner karate) son. He is 47" & 50#. Fit is just about perfect for him. Pants are a little long, but easily rolled up & barely needed cinching with the elastic waistline. Shirt is almost bang on. The uniform will allow for growth & is very wearable now. We were told these run small, so we went with the size 00. Seems like great quality & bright white material. Included white belt. Very happy with our decision to choose this brand & this size.
