Venum Challenger Gi

Comments about Venum Challenger Gi:

This gi is great right out of the bag. It's much better for casual use and light practice than for hard training, as it's a very lightweight gi. You can put it on right out of the bag and roll in it, because it's that soft and comfortable. It also looks great - not too busy, not too plain. One thing to look out for is washing. I always wash BJJ and Judo gis cold, and then hang dry, but when I did hang dry with this gi it got scratchy and a little stiff. The worst part is the decals right on the inside of the sleeve can actually be so abrasive as to break skin during training. I may talk to my tailor so see if I can remove that part.
In order to avoid making this worse, I did low-heat tumble dry the next time I washed but the gi shrank quite a bit.

I still have no plans to stop using the gi as it's very comfortable, but I'm hoping to find the perfect way to wash it to avoid the scratchiness as well as the shrinkage. I would expect no heat tumble dry would be the best.

Get the gi and try it for yourself!

This Gi is light weight but strong on the sleeves and lapel.

Great Gi. Very comfortable and lightweight. Got it in the mail EXTREMELY quick from MMAWarehouse. I washed it prior to rolling in it. It was washed in cold and line dried it. The top shrank about 1/2inch but the pants shrank about 4 inches. Other than that, it's a great feeling and very light Gi. Don't like it as much as my Atama, but for a lightweight it's perfect for the summer.

Love this Gi and would buy another one if it was available in other colors. After washing this Gi on cold water and hang to dry it shrinks a little.
