Miyako Kendo-gu Tokuren Keikogi - one year on!
I bought this keikogi during the tail end of summer last year and used it up to mid December (I did use it occasionally during winter, and it was prefect, a little cold while waiting for Sensei, but great for keeping extra extra cool)
So, good points.
- Extremely light, making it great for traveling around.
- Extremely quick drying (comes out of the machine 95% dry)
- Extremely comfortable. It really feels good wearing this in keiko!
- Looks great, the color and pattern are fantastic, and the keikogi hasnt faded at all (plus it doesnt look like a cheap piece of rubber like some other summer keikogi)
Bad points
I really dont have lot to say on the negative, but
- Smell! For some reason, this keiko stinks after I use it! I usually hang my cotton dogi out in the wind on a kimono hanger (keeps the arms extended) and they loose a bit of stink while drying. But for some reason this keiko retains the funk! It might be just my stinky pits, but I usually throw it in a cold water only wash (in a washing net) after each keiko.
Over all I am extremely happy with this keikogi, it is alot of money some might say for a non cotton/aizome gi, but I really think it is worth the cash. Im sure I would have fainted during some of the hotter days here if it wasnt for this keikogi!
