Guide Review - ZPPS Hardwear Traditional Karate Gi
My only issue with it is one of sizing, as is also common. The pants were very low waisted, seemingly cut for someone who was about 5'8" or so. As anyone who has ever worn a martial arts uniform knows though, you have to settle on "good enough" when picking a size. If you are tall, you have to pick a gi that is too big. If you pick a gi that fits properly, it is too short, or vice versa. My advice for anyone who is 5'10" or above would be to buy the next size up from what you would normally buy.
The guarantee on this uniform is one of the best I've seen. ZPPS offers a 30 day money back guarantee and will pay for your return shipping if you are unhappy with the gi. It is nice to see a company stand so firmly behind their products.
The price of these uniforms is definitely affordable and suprising considering the quality. With a retail price of $60.99, it is within almost anyone's reach. The wholesale price is equally low, making it possible for school owners to easily outfit their students in traditional gis while not losing their shirt in the process.
