My BJJ kimono experiment (My ‘Murica gi VS My Overseas gi)

Gary Berger — Fri, 23 Sep 2022 19:55:58 +0000

The other day I did a little experiment! I took my Chewjtisu gi made by Origin in ‘Murica and put it up against my old Chewjitsu gi made overseas.

My Origin has their American pearl weave unique to them and my other gi has a traditional pearl weave we’ve all used.

Here’s what I did.

#1 I weighed them.
The Origin was slightly lighter but both were hovering close to 3lbs. Pretty normal for my gis. Mind you I hate ultra-light gis. Thin fabric is hell for breaking grips.

#2 I washed them and then weighed them again.
I wanted to see which one retained more water. The traditional pearl weave retained about twice as much water, while the Origin top felt almost dry to the touch and the pants were slightly damp. The fact that the Origin top was almost dry really surprised me.

This may not seem like a big deal. But part of the reason why gis get so hot is because they get soaked with water and your sweat can’t evaporate efficiently. This is why moisture wicking clothes keep you cool.

#3 I dried them on high heat.
I wanted to see which 1 dried faster. Sadly, Jess and I got distracted watching a show and I didn’t do my 1st test until after 15 minutes. But at 15 minutes my Chewjitsu gi by Origin was bone dry while my old school Chewjitsu gi was still a bit damp.
