Gi Review: Black Eagle v Tatami Zero G v Malvado

[Meerkatsu]

Hi guys,

I reviewed and tested three British gi makers' single weave gis.
They are the Black Eagle single weave, Tatame Fightwear Zero G and the Malvado Fightwear single weave.
Read my unbiased and independent thoughts about these mid-priced gis here:

Summary:

When I began BJJ seven years ago, there was not a lot of choice of gis to buy in the UK. Fast forward to today and there are any one of a number of UK-based gi companies offering BJJ affordable uniforms.

There are cheaper BJJ specific uniforms on the market (ie those in the £30-£40 range). However, for a product that is a significant step above in quality, you will need to consider those in the £50-£60 range.

These three gis should certainly be within your buying radar. All three offer tremendous value and quality of product and arguably are as good as uniforms costing twice as much - you just need to choose according to your personal preferences as outlined in this review.

And a photo or two:

which one did you think was the best?

[Meerkatsu]

Black eagle had the best construction quality, Tatami was very close to my Vulkan and if it was just bit smaller, it would be perfect, the Malvado had the nicest design.

Why didn't you look at the faixa rua ? Presumably because not British but I'd be interested because I'm considering one of these as my next purchase

If you read the whole review all the way through.. you'll see that he did review the Faixa Rua vs Vulkan Pro Lite..

Blimey, that was a serious review. Excellent.

They all sound great for the price but I'd be most inclined to go for the Malvado. This is purely based on the fact that I like the colour of the logo and they're not as well established as the other companies.

I like new companies.

That's awesome Meerkatsu. I'm considering buying a new gi so the timing couldn't have been better!

My current is a Feral and I love it but don't know where to find them now.
