Rather than post in the BJJ section, I would be more interested to find out from the Scottish MMA/BJJ community, what is your Gi of choice & why?

The Griphouse
A while ago I bought one from Blitz. Still have it now and it serves me well. However, I've seen numerous people with the same gi, seems quite popular.
When I first started everyone seemed to own a Koral gi.
Got 3 main ones I use, my Keiko Raca, my Isami and my Ouano summer weave. All are really well made, tough and have kept their size really well.
Scotlands No. 1 Timekeeper also available as a BJJ/No Gi referee
I've got a few.
Vulkan is my favourite, lightest and best fit.
Korals ok but doesn't fit me well.
Kieko Raca's are good. (Got a lightweight one aswell which is pretty similar to the Vulkan.
Gameness is ok but really heavy.
Red Nose is cool and a bit different.
Lucky ones looks great but didn't fit me well. Good resale value.
Atama are really good.
Never tried and British ones.

I've got a Faixa Rua leve and a Fuji. Both were relatively cheap and are lasting well with nearly 3 years weekly use and very little sign of wear. I'd happily buy either again.
I don't like the gi's that are made from that ripstop fabric. It's like sandpaper when you get gi choked.
I've got a lovato special edition lucky gi, it's smashing. Want another
