I'm doing some gi shopping, and I'm considering polycotton. I've only worn cotton up to this point. The two that are up for consideration are the Shureido New Wave 2 and the Arawaza Kata Deluxe Evo.
A couple of questions:
- On the advertisements for polycotton gis, the claim is that they dry faster that pure cotton. Right now, I have a two-gi rotation. Do they dry fast enough to wash everyday and only need one gi?
- I know that the Japanese cotton used for gis is vastly superior to that of non-Japanese made gis, as I've owned both. But with that said, is this a non-factor with polycotton blends?
- Is polycotton more or less breathable than regular cotton?
- Can you get away with more wears per wash with polycotton than regular cotton? Because with regular cotton, I currently do one wear per wash.
