Outshock 500, Aikido/Judo Uniform, Adult

The thickness and weight of the fabric is expressed in grams per meter square. This is known as weight. And for judo, there's nothing better than a uniform with durable fabric that stays in place for grapples and also when being washed! This is why we've chosen a fabric blend of 65% cotton and 35% polyester: it is more resistant to pulling and washing. And with its 1.2 lbs/m² weight, it's the perfect weight for intermediate judo!

Judo is a combat sport that uses grappling techniques: you need to grab your opponent's uniform to throw them to the floor. So to facilitate your training, we've designed a neckline with a wider back and an EVA foam edge. This makes it easier to grab the edge of the collar. And for staying presentable and easily putting your uniform back to rights, the front of the collar is curved. Result: your jacket follows the lines of your body and naturally sits in a closed position.

We've designed a judo uniform adapted to your sport so you can progress without constraints: the length of the sleeves, the looseness at the shoulders and the nipped-in waist allow you to move freely. And with the rice-grain and diamond patterns it follows the aesthetic codes of judo. What about the bottoms? They are more durable at the knees for floor-based combat and have a traditional cord fastening at the waist.

Enrique, Laurent, Marie and Louis: 3 black belts between the 4 of them and the desire to create a uniform adapted to your level and style! The uniform went through many designs, prototypes and tests with the Sainghin judo club near Lille, France to achieve this. Laurent, the product engineer, says: "We wanted a comfortable judo uniform that you could look and feel good in. The 500 judo uniform is the work of Marie, our garment designer, and the careful work of Enrique, our product manager."

"I come from karate and one thing always impressed me with judo - this idea of strength and ease at the same time. Judokas practice with an elegance that is really great to see. I also like the idea that the dojo is more than just a place: you learn a lot about yourself outside those 4 walls. These are the values that I found at Outshock and that we want to share in our judogis."

Choosing the right size uniform depends on your height! Uniforms range from 63 to 79". We recommend choosing a uniform that is at least 2" bigger than your height. For example, if you are 5'9" tall, chose a 71" uniform.

We recommend airing your uniform after each use. Wash regularly to maintain its white color. Our tip? Wash on a cold wash for the first few times. And for drying, we highly recommend allowing it to air-dry and not to use a tumble dryer.
