93brand's "C-SPEC" range just launched, introducing a few modifications to the typical BJJ Gi. The intention is to improve the traditional kimono design, in the areas where Jiu Jitsu has changed but the uniform has not. The main materials are Pearl Weave (450 GSM) for the top, and a new Herringbone Twill (10oz) for the bottom. Here's their run-down on this model:
TWO-PLY LOWER SKIRT PANELING (bottom of Gi = thicker / not as easy to manipulate lapel guard / brabo choke / etc)TAPERED / ROUNDED LAPEL ENDS (not as easy for opp. to maintain strong lapel guard)FOREARM SLEEVE PANELS (reinforce against Spider/DLR/Lasso sleeve grip / Judo grips)REDESIGNED KNEE PANELS (extended outward to reinforce against outside-pant-grips)FULL-LENGTH 2"-WIDE INSEAM LINING (reinforce against inside-pant-grips)TAPERED WIDE-ANGLE JACKET VENTS (less material for lapel guards)SILICONE-DIPPED (2X) DRAWSTRING TIPSRE-SHAPED INTERIOR JACKET PANELSSlightly tapered lower pant legIncludes drawstring carry bagMeets IBJJF guidelinesA more thorough breakdown of the construction mods can be found on 93brand's site, but we don't want to throw a wall of text at you.
