Its ease of care and maintenance is also a great characteristic of this Aikido Gi. This "HOUOU" Lightweight Single Layered Aikido Gi is recommended for mixed climates and even acceptable for hot and humid summer use.

ABOUT AIKIDO GI
Particular to Aikido Gi is the reinforced shoulder section that extends further than that of other Aikido Gi. This prevents rippage around the shoulder area for both grappling and defense. Also unique to Aikido Gi is the soft and pliable collar that meets heavy grasping in this area.
