By adding their special Bounce Resilience processing to 100% cotton material, it gives great sweat absorption, quick-drying, and a cool texture to the skin. It is ideal for training during the summer.
On the surface there are small lines folded into the material’s surface; making it fit better to the body, and reduces the surface area that touches the skin, keeping a silk-like touch even whilst sweating. Because it is 100% cotton, it does not trap heat and is recommended for use in summer.
Treatment: this provides exceptional sweat absorption and incredibly fast drying times. It is the lightest 100% cotton Karate gi in the world.
