PROFORCE Gladiator 8oz Karate Pants w/Elastic Waist

nice, but a bit short

Used for summer gi since many classes are outside and staining would be an issue with white.

Nice pants, they fit really good not tight at all. They were a little long so I had to get them hemmed. Other than that I would definitely recommend them.

Let me start by saying I own a pair of proforce 8oz gladiator karate pants in blue from a couple of years ago. The tag is like what is shown in the picture, which reads GLADIATOR. The pants have a pocket on the back side. This pair of black ones I ordered has a standard proforce logo and no pocket. In their defense, I don't think the listing here mentions a pocket. They are comfortable and fit nicely. Just a bit questionable that these are the true gladiator line as advertised/listed, or the standard proforce line.

I haven't used these long, but from what I've seen they are comfortable, have great movement, and stay up when you tie them. I would not hesitate to purchase these again.

We owned the same brand pants, but one size smaller. My son has grown enough that he needed a replacement. We went with these because the previous pants held up through years of abuse in the dojang.

I have been a martial arts instructor for over 16 years. These are quality gi pants, don't bind up when you kick and actually fit well. They run a little big though. I bought a size 3 because I was having to roll my 4s down at the waist - these fit about the same in that area as the 4s. They are just the right length for us shorter people though.

They were exactly what I was hoping they would be. The description was perfect. Since they are lightweight they are more comfortable for daily training than my more traditional pants.
