Grammage and composition: what they mean
The thickness of the fabric is expressed in grams per square metre. This is called grammage. For judo, it's best to have a uniform in durable fabric that holds up during not only grips but in the wash as well!
That's why we chose a fabric in 65% polyester and 35% cotton: it holds up better to pulling and washing.
With a grammage of 350 g/sqm, it's strong enough for starting out!
A collar designed for your sport:
Judo is a grappling combat sport: you grab the uniform of your opponent to get them on the ground. To make learning easier, we created a collar with a larger lapel. This makes grabbing much easier.
The collar is also curved for a more elegant look. This means your uniform jacket fits your body and will naturally lie in a closed position.
About the 100 Judo uniform
To make learning judo easier, we created a uniform designed especially for your practice: the sleeve length, looseness at the shoulders and fitted waist let you move with ease.
And the bottoms? They are more durable at the knees for floor combat. The elasticated waistband makes them easier to slip on!
Enrique, Outshock product manager, talks about the benefits of judo:
"I come from karate and one thing always impressed me with judo - this idea of strength and ease at the same time. Judokas practise with an elegance that is really great to see. I also like the idea that the dojo is more than just a place: you learn a lot about yourself outside those four walls. These are the values that I found at Outshock and that we want to share in our judogis."
CHOOSING YOUR UNIFORM SIZE
Choosing the right size uniform depends on your height!
Uniforms range from 160 to 200 cm. We recommend choosing a uniform which is at least 5 cm bigger than your height. For example, if you are 1.74 m, choose a 180 cm uniform.
How to take care of your uniform
We suggest airing out your uniform after every use. To keep it white, be sure to wash it regularly. One pointer? Wash on a cold wash for the first few times. When you dry it, it's best to let it air dry and never use the dryer.
