For those who own one of these gis and a Fuji gi, how does the quality compare? Does it seem to be as durable? Thanks in advance.

I've owned a fuji and a couple of these. They are pretty much the same in my opinion

I believe they are better and build with a better fabric also. More durable and have no advertising on it at all

Sorry, Fuji has never been on my radar screen and never considered as a good contender as Canon, Nikon, Sony, Panasonic. These four are considered as first tier. Let me know if my perception is not quite right.

I've had mine apx a year....still working great. Haven't dropped so I'd say yes, it's durable. Is used at least twice a week and an average of 15 to 18 pcs. Would I buy this iron again? Yes

this knife is more of a survival knife it is extremely durable and well built, if you want a combat knife look at the LMF II by Gerber. This knife is definitely not for daily carry it is to bulky therefor it cant really be used for defense. If you are looking for a tactical fixed blade knife go with a cold steel kobun. I love that blade it is extremely sharp, way sharper than the gerber when it arrives. hope my response can aid you in the search for a fixed blade knife

Look, you can't go wrong with this compass. I used it in the Marine Corps as an infantry Sgt. and I use it as a civilian. It's the same compass as USGI issue with an NSN # and they only take US made products. Pull the trigger on this one.

I've been to 2 of them since I've had the camera. The first one did great. I wasn't extremely close and got real good close ups and the video was wonderful. The second concert a few of the pictures were blurry for some reason. I'm wondering if I had the setting wrong. The only thing I don't like so far is, while videoing when you zoom in and out the pictures blurs until you stop then it will refocus. Other than that it's good. I do love this camera so far. I've had several cameras and so far this is my favorite. Still learning though. It does not come with a book but with a CD, but if you call Fuji you can order a book for $7.00. Well worth the money. Will tell you everything you need to know about the camera. And I love the Wi-Fi on it. I transfer pics to my phone very easily. But won't transfer videos to the phone. Hope this has helped you.

Not really. Fuji has a whole line of cameras like this that have been around for quite a while. They are all based on the same technology and differ only in the amount of zoom available. All the lenses are good, the software is all the same, and the issues are the same. I am relatively happy with mine but the automatic settings can be disappointing. It is not professional grade, but also not professional price. You get what you pay for.

I agree with Craig E. This gi is plenty thick and durable. It can get hot depending on your workout or the season.

Going with the slightly bigger gi will allow you to shrink it a bit. I wear an A3 and it's a bit big, tried an A2 and it was too small to roll in comfortably.

Yes, i've had mine for a year and a half now. Probably have 40lbs worth of dive gear in it, and i carry my gun on top of the back, pinched between the handles. The mesh is super strong, the sides are the most resilient. No issues with it yet.

It is light weight, but it is heavy enough to be durable. The truly light weight 5 oz gi is not very durable and will wear out quick in comparison to this one.

For durability, yes this is the one. I suspect the other, cheaper ones are lighter, but this one is real mil-spec and is not phased by rocks or roots. I think I would have a hard time breaking this if I tried. After all the regular abuse I have put it through this season, the finish is completly worn off the bottom third of the blade, but there are no gauges in the surface or chips in the edge. It does rust were the metal is bare, so keep it dry and oiled.BTW, I highly recomend a hori hori garden knife for metal detecting. Most of the ones with wood handles are of decent quality(the sheaths are not, however). They are great for digging small holes less than a foot down. For durability, yes this is the one.

Unless you want shrinkage I suggest you never machine dry a heavy gi. I was told that if you what slight shrinkage you can take the gi out mid way, I tried this and while I could still wear that gi the shrinkage was more that I wanted.

I would also like to tell people about the Fitness Trends "Ultimate Push Up" I picked up a set for just $10 at my local Big Lots! I havent personally compared its construction to the other models, but I am a former Soldier who weighs a bit over 200 pounds, and I havent noticed ANY problems with this devices structure or construction. It has a fairly solid grip with comfortable foaam covering a hard plastic? I am sure that the foam will start to peel off eventually, but for right now; I couldnt be happier for my $10.

Hi there Talise, I found the quality of the gi excellent, but they actually run a bit bigger. I ordered a "4" and it feels like a "5"..hope that helps and enjoy your training:)

Similar but I prefer the Gerber brand and quality, have had no problems with either. Hope this helps, if you have no preference I would go by price�
