Shoyoroll Arctic Competitor Black Kimono
The Shoyoroll Arctic Competitor Black Kimono is the ultimate balance between performance, durability, and style for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athletes who demand the very best from their training gear. Crafted with Shoyoroll’s renowned attention to detail, this kimono is part of the exclusive Arctic Competitor series, designed for practitioners who value both functional excellence and sleek aesthetics.
Whether you’re rolling in a high-intensity sparring session, drilling techniques, or competing on the big stage, the Arctic Competitor Black offers an ideal combination of lightweight mobility and reinforced strength. This gi is engineered to meet the needs of dedicated martial artists who want a product that looks sharp, feels comfortable, and lasts through countless training sessions.
Premium Materials
Shoyoroll is known for sourcing some of the best textiles in the combat sports industry, and the Arctic Competitor Black is no exception. The jacket is made from a high-quality lightweight pearl weave, which is soft against the skin yet strong enough to withstand the constant pulling, gripping, and twisting of BJJ.
The pants are constructed from durable ripstop fabric, designed to resist tearing while maintaining flexibility for dynamic movements. Ripstop is a favorite among competitive grapplers because it’s breathable, quick-drying, and holds up under pressure.
Both jacket and pants are pre-shrunk to reduce the risk of significant shrinkage after washing, ensuring a more consistent fit over time.
Design & Aesthetic
The Black Arctic Competitor colorway features a sleek, minimalistic design with subtle Shoyoroll branding. Its clean lines and understated patches make it perfect for those who want a professional, no-nonsense look on the mats. The contrast stitching adds a refined touch without being flashy, making it equally suitable for training and IBJJF-compliant competition.
Performance & Fit
A well-fitting gi can make a significant difference in your mobility and comfort. The Arctic Competitor Black is tailored for an athletic cut that reduces excess fabric while still allowing for a full range of motion.
The pearl weave jacket is light enough to help you move quickly and efficiently, yet sturdy enough to resist grips from your opponents. The ripstop pants feature a reinforced knee area for added durability during takedowns, guard work, and scrambles.
Shoyoroll’s attention to detail means that every seam is reinforced, and the stress points — such as collar, cuffs, and underarms — are double-stitched for enhanced longevity.
Comfort in Training & Competition
One of the standout features of the Arctic Competitor Black is its lightweight feel, which is ideal for long training sessions and for meeting competition weight requirements. The fabric breathes well, helping to regulate body temperature during intense rolls.
The collar is made from EVA foam, which strikes a balance between firmness (to make it harder for opponents to grip) and comfort around the neck. The smooth interior seams help reduce friction and skin irritation, even during marathon drilling sessions.
