Gi Review: Atama Mundial Gi
Atama has been a stalwart gi brand for... well, a really long time. Since 1989, in fact. Indeed, it was one of the pioneers in the jiu jitsu gi market; one of the first brands to tailor the traditional - i.e. suuuuper old-school - judo gis to fit the movements and needs of the Brazilian jiu jitsu fighter.
Which means it's safe to say that the guys at Atama know their stuff.
Since it first launched many years ago, their Mundial model has been their best-selling gi. Now in it's ninth version - yeah, you read that right... NINTH - the Mundial Model 9 is better than ever. The Mundial Model 9 features their tried-and-true "Carioca Weave" jacket, which is a Brazilian-manufactured 100% cotton, densely woven single weave that's made to withstand some serious grabbing and pulling. In order to keep the gi nice and light, the Mundial features a lightweight polyester/cotton ripstop pants, and ripstop covered lapel. Slightly tailored toward the cuffs of the jacket and pants, yet roomy around the shoulders and knee area, this gi was made to balance a tailored fit - and all of its lovely grip-deterring benefits - with unrestricted movement. Simply designed, the Atama Mundial features the iconic Atama logo embroidered in high-quality stitching along both shoulders, leaving plenty of ripe real estate for your favorite academy patch and jiu jitsu brand logos.
Plus, having been the gi of choice for some of the community's biggest women's jiu jitsu names - like Leticia Ribeiro and Bia Mesquita - Atama has made sure to offer their popular Mundial Model 9 in a specially-designed women's cut!
