I heard B-Mac mention in another thread that he loved the Help Flow gi pants. I figured I'd trust his opinion and give them a shot.
It's a great gi, that's for sure. Here it is patched up.
And yes, I take a little bit of shit for that patch on the leg at Lovato's.

What do you like about the pants?
They are super strong and super soft. I have a pair of Phalanx and I hate all the elastic around the waist, and the material is too thick and bulky.
These flows are as strong as chainmail and as soft as a baby's butt. Incredible comfort. They feel awesome.
The hemp fiber is stronger than cotton at half the thickness.
I have a Datsusara A2 Hemp Combat Gi (Natural White) for sale right now if you are interested. It's practically new still and flawless. They are super nice gi's.
I bought a Datsusara jacket on ebay that was nearly new. I don't really like it that much. I can't speak about their pants though, only got the jacket.Quote:

I love my Grips Secret Weapon 2.0 gi... The drawstring/cord stays tight. The top and bottom fit well. The design/cut on the kimono makes the top less baggy. It doesn't shrink in the dryer and has nice art on the inside.
How much you want for the pants?Quote:

Ahh I wanted to sell the whole gi if I could. I honestly tried to sell the top and keep just the pants for myself but I just figured nobody would want the top by itself, so I put the whole gi up on a bjj gi trade/sell thread on fb. I have another pair of Datsusara pants that I wear so I don't mind selling these if I can sell the whole gi. The thing is super nice still, you want to snag it?! haha Check it out, I have some killer deals online that someone is going to come up on! - https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...9097116&type=1Quote:

I'm not a fan of any kind of inner lining. I don't even like to patch my gis. Anything more than a single layer of fabric traps dirt and sweat. To me it's a little gross.Quote:

You can sweat for 2 hours in an inverted panda gi and it'll be dry as a bone on the outside. All your sweat is trapped in there with you in your own little sauna.
The flow jacket pulls the sweat off me and exposes it to the air outside of the jacket. It's fucking dope.
A lot of people online say their flows are soft. I don't really experience that. If I toss it in the dryer, yeah. But hang-drying like I do it's pretty much cardboard. I don't care, my body heat softens it up by the time I've shrimped down the mat a couple times. What I like is it's ability to wick the sweat.
It's durable as fuck. It wicks the sweat. I like the cut. I have few complaints.
Jonathan, the guy who makes them, has been really cool with me.
I also have a Datsu A3 HCG, def like the pants but the top is a little wonky, doesn't really close properly around my manly chest. I dyed it dark brown though and it looks pretty sweet. Hoping it breaks in and softens up.Quote:
