These Kachi kendogi are fantastic! This order was for my son, and we own four of them between the two of us. They look amazing, are comfortable to wear, and are very easy to maintain. Thank you to KS for their excellent customer service and prompt deliveries!

My first time going for featherweight gi. And I swear, it felt like flying! Literaly changed the overall feeling from my kendo performance. Also dried in a few hours after training compared to my regular gi taking usually 2 days. And for some unknown reason, they called me "Hey Handsome!" in the dojo for the first time ever!!!

Light and quick to dry
Very good for regular keiko to be able to clean it and get it dry.
Note : If you are thin and tall and you hesitate between two sizes it may better to take the smaller one. I dit the opposite and it is a bit too big for me.

Very lightweight and comfortable, allows skin to perspire and allow cool down quicker. Great in summer in particular when I used to find my traditional GI would be like lead apron with all the sweat. It’s more like the feel of a running top. Also easy to wash and dry.

Breathable kendogi, good for hot weather
I had a minor hiccup in ordering but luckily the friendly staff from KendoStar (special thanks to Ezgi) helped me pick the correct size. They also explained to me that they ship to my country.
I was astounded that I received my order in less than a week (international shipping for most items takes a month to arrive in my country).
Now on to the kendogi: I ordered some from the supplier where my dojo usually gets their gear and the first gi I got was too small even though it was size 3 and I was self conscious about moving too much. Ezgi helpfully mentioned her own size and height and suggested the size 3 for me. Fits perfectly around the torso (now I don't have to worry about exposing myself), just a bit long in the sleeves. The fabric is so airy and breathable, perfect for our hot and humid weather. The first gi I got was positively stifling. Highly recommend the Kachi kendogi for summer/tropical climates. Now that I've tried it I don't want to wear any other kind of kendogi, I plan to get another one as a spare.

Absolutely Lightweight!
I must say this is more of a summer gi than actually labelled summer gi's: It really feels like nothing and so it also drying very fast. The quality seems also very neat. So I would definitely choose this above a summer gi. The only thing I can see why choosing a summer gi or for competition another gi is the somehow extra protection and the feeling of the material. This gi is some synthetic I guess, for sure no cotton or something.
Only downside here would be the normal price I think for 75 GBP it is totally worth it but without the 40% 125 GBP seems pretty high for me. But eitherway for the product 5 stars since 4 would be for what I got too less for sure.
If you want something lightweight you get something really lightweight here! I guess it won't get any lighter.

KACHI kendogi
I am generally satisfied with KACHI kendogi even though I would say it has a color close to black or very very deep-navy. Also, the color a bit differs from the photos presented on the website. Nevertheless, the size seems to be just perfect, it is super light and very comfortable during training.

Highly recommended for regular practice
My only regret is that I didn't buy more than two. These are great! They fit well, look great, breathe well and are a joy to wear. I sweat a great deal during practice and my thick cotton Kendogi are difficult to wash. Washing the Kachi Kendogi is as simple as running them under cold water and allowing them to dry overnight. I purchased two of these for use in warm weather but I started using them for regular practice even in winter. Let's face it, being cold is not often a problem in Kendo. I highly recommend these Kendogi to anyone who practices regularly and likes a clean, oder-free Kendogi.
Dorian Hans
Really good Kendogi
I am very happy with the Kendogi. It is super light, very comfortable and feels extremely good during training. Can only recommend it.
John Nicholson
The best customer service ever.
Beautiful kendogi, lightweight and super comfortable.
Always the best service, ordered one day, dispatched the next and delivered the day after.
I won't buy from anyone else!
Antonio
My everyday keikogi and hakama
I bought the keikogi and hakama "KACHI" 6 months ago and since then they are the only ones I use: extremely comfortable, dry quickly and can be washed after each keiko without fear of losing the pleats of the hakama. Definitely a recommended purchase.
Stan Averin
Best of both worlds
I've had several kendogi before this one - dyed cotton double layer, light summer ones, etc. Kachi strikes the perfect balance between a light, easy to wash kendogi, and a presentable, classic one you could freely wear to a grading. This one will easily become a mainstay.
Pierre
Ideal for frequent practice
Very comfortable, light, great feel, and very fast drying (practically dry coming out of the washing machine). Ideal for frequent practices.
Joaquim
Really good kendogi
Really light and good. Highly recommended
Justin Flatt
Perfect for every day practice
I bought this to replace my much loved Gaia kendogi. I loved the ease of being able to machine wash the Gaia, and that carries over to the Kachi nicely, and the material is much less jarring than the black-mesh-over-blue that the Gaia was. Extremely happy with the purchase.
Chris R
Great single layer kendogi
Received this item about a week after ordering (thanks for quick shipping!). Item is quality crafted and feels great during practice. Not too thick so it's useful in the hot summer months, but not so thin that it feels like it's going to tear apart after a few practices and washes. Plus it looks great. Overall highly satisfied!
Jurgen
Bought a couple thus far
Cant go wrong. Looks and feels great
Jurgen
Light and beautiful
It looks similar to cotton kendogi but its light and machine washable.
Sergei Segodin
Perfect for training
Super light and extremely comfortable. Made me feel a lot better during training, and especially great for hot Australian summers. Feels like you're getting a bit of a breeze come through with every cut, which definitely helps with a long training.
After hanging up, took about 20 minutes to dry, and the material doesn't remain damp or smell like the heavier Kendogi I have become used to.
Christofer Bergstedt
Super comfortable
Soft, comfortable material that's light, but not flimsy. Hight quality item! A very big upgrade from my previous Kendogi.
Aurimas Bikulcius
High-quality Kendogi
I really glad that I bought this Kendogi. GAIA Kendogi's quality is excellent, and it's nice to wear. Also, it's easy to wash and dry.

Light and cool!
My first gi. Very light, made from soft and nice textile. Delivery speed is something fantastic! Order placed on Tuesday 10pm, order received on Thursday at 11am. In 2000 km away!
Joni
Light and comfortable
Material is soft and light, first time wearing it felt like not wearing a Kendogi at all, cause i was used to more heavier double layer cotton Kendogi.
Adam. M
Super light
Much lighter than I expected. Really comfortable and nice looking. Easy to wash. Perfect for regular practice.
Art
Nice!
Material is very light and the best thing is can be washed over and over without loosing the dye. Pretty much wrinkle free! Dries fast
Sascha
Featherweight! Fantastic!
I can absolutely recommend this Gi! It's really featherweight, nice looking and feels very smooth.
Perfect for a hot Sommer day training or a weekend on a Gasshuku!
And another point for KendoStar is a super nice customer service and fast delivery!
Stuart
Great!
I also own the previous (lighter blue) Gaia kendogi model, but this is still an improvement on the old version.
The material is much more dense so it even looks a little more like cotton (when compared to the older Gaia material) - you can't see the 'mesh look' anywhere near as much as you could with the older model. The colour is much closer to that of a aizome dyed Kendogi too. What I like most is that it's a little heavier than the older model so it feels like you're really wearing a Kendogi and not some modern sports shirt.
The only thing to be aware of is that there's a vertical pleat in the centre of the Kendogi's back, which wasn't present in the older model. This doesn't bother me at all, but some people might not like it. There's also extra material support around the rear of the neck area.
Overall, it's a great step up from the previous Gaia model!
