Kimonos ranges in Buddha

At Buddha we can find 2 different ranges :

- Kimono Ultralight is the recommended range for people who are starting out due to its weight. Many fighters also use it for competitions, since due to their lower weight, they can weigh a little more in competitions.

- Deluxe Kimono . This range is high quality at an unbeatable price. This kimono is specially designed for competitions and the toughest training.

Color

The colors approved for the competition are white, royal blue and black , in their entirety. If the use is going to be exclusive for training, you can choose other colors such as red, yellow, camouflage or other colors.

Design

This year we have opted for new innovative designs using embroidery on all our kimonos . Our Special Edition ranges use exclusive designs with sublimated lycra using the latest technology.

Weight

Here where you should see the use you are going to give the kimono:

- If you are going to compete you should especially take into account in which weight category you will compete.

- If you will only use it for training, you should take into account what time of year you are going to use it in order to adjust your weight and your needs to the different types of fabrics/weights that are currently available in kimonos.

At Buddha Fight Wear we use 420 gram Pearl Weave cotton in the White Ultralight model and 475 grams in the Deluxe model in our kimonos. This latest generation fabric comes from the grain of rice and is made of 100% pre-shrunk braided cotton (following the washing and drying recommendations it does not shrink more than 3%). Pearl Weave is an ultra-resistant fabric, with great softness and excellent durability.

Tips to increase the durability of your kimono:

• You should never wash the kimono with hot water . We also recommend turning it inside out to wash it.

• The kimono should be washed frequently. If you wear the kimono 3-4 times a week, you can wash it over the weekend to prevent dried sweat from accumulating and becoming damaged.

• If you have used it, you have sweated it and you want to use it the next day , leave it hanging upside down and in the open air so that it can ventilate . The kimono should not be left in the closed suitcase after training.

• A good idea would be to have a second kimono so you don't wear the other one so quickly and let it air out for longer after using it.

• The kimono should not be exposed directly to the sun or discoloration will occur.

• The kimono should not be put in the dryer.
