Very comfortable. Seriously.. extremely comfortable.
Not sure of possible shrinkage if placed in dryer, so far I’ve only hung dried it to avoid such possibility.
Only thing is, if hung up for drying, doesn’t dry as fast as my other gi. But not a negative for me.
The fabric feels soft , yet strong. Strangely impressive feel.
Size is a great fit. I’m 5,10. And wear a size A3L. With other gi’s it was unfortunately common that the sleeves would be a bit short. But this gi’s sleeves fit great.
Other gi’s I’ve owned so far were a few gi’s from Isami and one from Origin.
Islam: was great for a beginner gi. But unfortunately I’ve gone through 3 of 4 so far. 3 are no longer serviceable due to rips and tears. (These gi’s I’ve worn from white to blue belt level..) (still keeping the remaining one just incase)
Origin: is honestly also an amazing gi. Had it for maybe half a year now. Did suffer slight shrinkage because I mistakenly placed it in the dryer. But only slight shrinkage thankfully. Very comfortable and light. And dries amazing fast if hung up. (This gi I’ve been wearing so far from Blue to my current Purple belt level)
Side note : The Datsusara gi was a present to myself after earning my Purple belt .
Both the Origin and Datsusara are my favorite gi’s
I train usually multiple session a per day, most of the days of the week.
So I’m consistently wearing both the Origin and Datsusara gi
By the way, I live in Tokyo. “ダツサラは面白い” , said my Sensei. :)

I love this Gi
