Hemp fabric was used on the first Judo gis designed by Jigoro Kano and inspired by the Japanese firefighters' hemp jacket. The samurais also preferred hemp for being four times stronger than cotton and comfortable. The Hempo is made with 100% natural hemp fibers (no dyes or bleach) and has light beige tone. It will last for years of intense training, aging beautifully and becoming more comfortable as time passes.
The jacket features a Coolmax lining inside the shoulders and on the inside waist. Coolmax wicks the moisture away from the skin making the gi drier and more comfortable during training. The pants also feature Coolmax on the gusset which also helps to reduce friction when moving your legs inside the pants making it ideal for guard players.
