GI weights?

[opr1945]

I have been looking at different brands of GIs for sale. I have noticed that one brand will list it's 10 oz GI as middle weight while another will list it's 10 oz GI as hea vy weight. How can the same weight be light, medium or heavy weight?

It is up to the manufacturer.

Keikogi weight is yet to be codified and then standardised by the ‘International Bureau of Weights and Measures’ (Bureau international des poids et mesures) but I’m sure it’s on their to do list.
