The judogi is worn when practising Judo made of heavy duty cotton consisting of pants, jacket and belt.
The suit must be white or slightly off- white. Judogis should not be bleached as this will reduce the life of the suit. Washing in hot water the first time and cold after will shrink the suit to your size.
Under the Judogi, boys wear underpants. Girls white t-shirt with underpants. Short Tights/skins are also acceptable.
