Combat Corner ECO Series Kimono Equipment Review

Are you in need of a new kimono?

Before going out and purchasing one blindly make sure to check out the US Combat Sports equipment review of the affordable and durable Combat Corner ECO Series Version 2.0 Gi. 

Company History: Established in 2007 by Professional Fighters, on a mission to create top quality equipment at a reasonable price. Using today’s best raw materials and cutting edge designs Combat Corner Professional has quickly become a contender in the MMA, BJJ & Thai Boxing equipment scene.

Jacket:  The jacket is 100 percent cotton constructed with a one-piece design to allow strength and comfort. The heavy duty foam filled lapel allows for firm and fast drying times. The jacket skirt is shortened and sleeves are tapered for more of a jiu jitsu cut kimono. Being 100 percent cotton this kimono is super soft and strong and after washing 2-3 times a week for two months it still feels like I just took it out of the package. The logo patches are minimal which allows you to not look like a billboard for the company.

Pants: The pants are also 100 percent cotton with heavy duty four loop draw string design. The 4 loop draw string design helps distribute stress and improve comfort, and also allowing the drawstring to stay in place and not ride up on your hip or give you opponent or partner and extra grip. The knees are heavily reinforced to prevent tears or rips.

Reinforcements: The pants are reinforced at the openings of the draw strings and over the knees to mid-shin. The jacket has a thick, well made collar and solid stitching also with reinforcement areas in armpit area.

Shrinkage: Was very minimal, normally since being tall and average sized, I am on the taller end of the sizing chart which makes finding the perfect fit kimono hard. The A3 fit me a little bigger then I would have liked, but fit a lot better than most companies on the market. I tried to shrink it as much as possible but even washing & drying it in warm water and medium heat it did not help. I would recommend trying to wash it in hot water and dry on high heat if you are looking for shrinkage.

Training Time: 2-4 days per week.

Summary: Amazing value for the price. Combat Corner has put together a perfect kimono for a beginner looking for a kimono that will last for a while. With the kimono being inexpensive and also includes a white belt with it, this allows there consumers to save money and have a kimono which will last
