Very lightweight - a nice change from training in a traditional heavyweight tournament gi. This is not a uniform I'd recommend for Aikido or styles with a lot of grabbing or grappling, but a comfortable, lightweight gi for most martial arts practitioners.

Well balanced, good weight. An excellent practice weapon. My only complaint is the tip is not pointed as are most Suburito's available from other sources, but this does not detract from the usefulness of the weapon for training purposes.
