Time passes, many things change in the world and pretty much in everyone's lives, and that's certainly been the case since my last review.
One thing that has not changed though is my preference for less expensive gis and my growing lack of enthusiasm regarding
bling gis versus my love of simpler and, dare I say, more tasteful, classier designs.
When faced with the opportunity to review another one of Black Eagle's jiu-jitsu gis I was given the difficult choice between the
Predator BJJ Gi ("Predator" being Black Eagle's brand dedicated to BJJ) and the
Basico BJJ Training Gi. While the
Predator does a damn good job balancing a more exclusive design with a classy and clean look while keeping a reasonable price tag, I had to go with the
Basico because I'm a sucker for budget kits and that way I'd be able to do a direct comparison to
Tatami's Nova Basic gi and
Tuff's Lightweight BJJ Kimono – two direct competitors in the same price category!
So let's get started, shall we?
