Product Description
  • 8.5oz crossover style uniform with inner ties
  • Top quality 52% cotton, 48% polyester blend material makes this uniform comfortable and easy to care for
  • Double line, reinforced stitching on the collars and cuffs
  • Inset panels on jacket for greater durability
  • Double-layered fabric at shoulders
  • Bound side vents with tie cords
  • Crotch gusset with triangular inseam inserts
  • Elastic drawstring waist
  • White belt included

The KD Elite White Middleweight Karate Uniform is perfect for those seeking a traditional karate look with a softer, modern feel.

Sometimes heavyweight uniforms are just too much! When that happens, it's time to use subtlety and design to create a gi focused on usability. The KD Elite White Middleweight features an 8.5 ounce crossover style uniform with inner ties. This is a classic look for karate jackets and will be immediately familiar to anyone who has been training for awhile (and for those students just beginning, it's a snap to learn). Furthermore, the material blend (52% cotton, 48% polyester) is a careful mix that provides outstanding comfort. Stiffness is a thing of the past and shrinking is minimized for this gi.

Comfort is important, but so is durability. The White Middleweight features doubled lined, reinforced stitching on the collars and cuffs. Experienced martial artists will tell you that cuff stitching is critical for generating good snap and allows the uniform to survive countless techniques. The jacket collar is bound to be grabbed and handled throughout the course of training, so double stitching there helps prevent wear and tear. In addition, by providing extra panels in key locations such as the shoulders and crotch, the KD Elite allows for very natural movement and unhindered techniques.

A common complaint with very heavy uniforms is that they can become a burden after extensive training. Because of that, some martial artists choose to have a ceremonial heavy gi for certain occasions, and a lighter gi for continuous training. This uniform is designed for training and allows excellent breathability by means of side vents and lighter material. For the karate student who wishes to be unencumbered, the White Middleweight is a wise choice.

KD Elite has strategically designed each of there uniforms to provide maximum results with minimal financial investment. The White Middleweight Karate Uniform is the top choice for practitioners who want an outstanding combination of light weight feel with heavy weight punch.

First Gi

This gi fits comfortably and serves its purpose in helping you to break a sweat, while wearing it. The quality is decent and you can't beat the price! The only con would be that you may have to shorten the length of the gi pants and gi top arms. I would recommend this to any furst time buyer!

Aneesha - if you'd like it to last awhile and are expecting some growth spurts, you may want to go with a size 3. Right now, a size 2 would be your best fit, but your child may grow out of it if they hit a spurt.

Karate Uniform

I purchased the karate uniform for my class. It was a good fit, very good material and came in the time that was stated in the order. I am very please with my order.

I ordered one for myself and my son.

I ordered a 5 for me and a 00 for my 5 year old. I tried mine on and found it is narrow (not wide enough) around my torso. I'm a bit thick in the trunk so I figured I probably should have ordered a size 6 top. However when my son tried his on he had the same issue when tying the top together it would be too snug around his middle and he is NOT thick around the middle at all.

I'm 5 foot 9 inches & 210 LBs so I ordered my size exactly. The jacket is long enough and the pants are a bit too long but can be tailored. I'm going to try a Size 6 top and Size 4 pants to see how that combo works for me. Either way I'll have to get my Gi (any brand I get) tailored a bit as I've got a bit of a long torso and short-ish legs.

I have the middleweight uniform in Black and am very happy with it. This one though did not come out in the same high quality.
I washed it once to get some of the stiffness out and both the top and bottom have started to bauble (when the threads or fabric start to raise in like tiny loose balls). Also the sizing chart convinced me to go a size lower than my gut instinct (its been a while since i bought one and I had thought maybe the sizes had changed).
Its fine for practicing twice a week, just not upto the usual high standards one comes to expect. As a general word of advice from someone who usually trains with a black gi. Stay away from all sources of dirt or possible dirt :). The white gis get dirty and stain very easily.

This uniform was PERFECT for my sons karate class! It's lightweight enough for a beginner (he's a green belt) but durable enough to withstand a 5 year olds treatment of it. I have been very happy with this product!

This was the first gi I purchased from Karate Depot. It is now a year old and still in excellent condition despite frequent use and washings! It is very nice quality for everyday use. Sizing chart was right on target. Thanks for a great product.

This has to be one of the best semi-medium weight uniforms I have ever used. I use this particular model for all of our students. It gives them a sturdy uniform at a very good price that will last as opposed to the cheapies many schools use. Some of our uniforms have frayed a bit but I think that's more because of our washing method as opposed to the uniform material or quality being bad. Make sure to wash in cold water and let it air dry. I always iron out the creases and it holds a good press. One complaint I have: if you normally wear a 5, get a 6. They are cut a little bit differently. So get one size higher and you should be fine (tailor to fit). I have no complaints on the pants.

This gi was much more than I expected for the price. It was quite large-fitting when new but after washing (in cold water) and drying it shrunk to a perfect fit. I'm slim (5'11; 150 lbs.) and a size 5 fits perfectly. I was concerned that a cotton blend fabric would be uncomfortable, but this gi is more comfortable than the heavy 100% cotton canvas gi it replaces. It feels heavier than the 8.5 oz. weight suggests and holds it shape well. It doesn't feel like a cheap, lightweight gi and has a nice drape over the body. It's too early to comment about durability. The white belt that came with it is thin and cheap.

I bought two of these for my kids starting SKA karate. Even compared to my Tokkaido heavy weights these are very nice quality. These are a fantastic deal and much better for kids. The supplied white belts seem a little short, but sizing otherwise seems accurate.

Nice Uniform at a great price

Looks and feels great

I considered the heavier gi, but this one seems perfect. It shrank a little, even though I washed it in cold water so be careful, maybe even order a full size larger than you normally wear.

I got the size 5. I am about 5' 10'', and I'm nervous to wash it in hot water now for fear it might shrink more.

For the price, you can NOT beat it.

Like the uniform from a beginning adult karate student

The uniform came very timely. I ordered a size 4 which is right for height and weight and maybe next time will order a size up because it does shrink even in the cold wash. For me the pants fit fine but wish I had a little more room in the top although once in class I don't notice anything. The material is great and would recommend to anyone.

Thought is would be perfect - a little disappointed

I thought from the reviews that this would feel like a medium weight uniform. Feels more like a light weight uniform to me and does not wash up as well as the 100% cotton uniforms I have from Pro Force (this is a blend). The sizing for the top was tight even though I bought a size that should have fit me if I was 25lbs heavier. Somewhat disappointed in the overall quality and fit, especially the top. The bottoms fit fine and were suitable for the wear and tear they normally endure.

Well made - excellent quality

The uniform we ordered is a heavy-duty cotton that holds up well under numerous washes. We're very pleased.

Very impressed

I was impressed with the quality of the KD Elite Middleweight uniform I purchased. I was concerted with the size chart. I had seen many size charts on-line, and all were slightly different. But your size chart was right-on. The uniform fits perfect. The price was the best I found, and I was very happy with the fast delivery.

Great uniform. Well worth the cost but keep in mind to go with the smaller size if you are in between two on the chart.

Best Karate Uniform I've Ever Owned

I've owned 3 other Gi's in the past and this is by far the best one. It's sold as a middle weight uniform but it borders on heavy weight. After 3 months of use it's still like new. I highly recommend the KD Elite uniform.

This uniform is a little larger than those made by Bold or Macho, so if you think that you're in between sizes, go a size under. I noticed it when I put it on, but it's not so much that I noticed it after 5 minutes into practice.



This is a nice uniform, with good stitching and durability.

Impressed

Coming from a Century middleweight uniform that cost me $49.95, I was expecting lesser quality. After about a week, if anything the quality of the KD Elite uniform is better and the material is a little heavier, which I like.

Better than expected

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the fabric and the workmanship in the Karate Uniform that I purchased for my son. Your price was more than $10 cheaper than I could have purchased from the Karate instructor.

Thank you.
