A unique team uniform made of a cotton and polyester spun yarn woven dobby fabric features woven geometric figures.

From what I understand that most Taekwondo practitioners generally end up grabbing Adidas Black Neck Uniforms as soon as they reach Cho Dan (first degree black belt). This is generally done because they MUST have a blackbelt level uniform and most are familiar with Adidas uniforms already (I mean really…you know someone that owns one if you don’t) and are readily available.

The Century Fitness Dobby Uniform is what I suggest as a superior alternative to the Adidas uniform, but no where near par of the Mooto Extera. As mentioned earlier, the fabric is a woven cotton and polyester material. If I didn’t write this review, I wouldn’t have even known that it was polyester because it has a very comforting light cotton feel to it. Movement flows better than most uniforms in this as it’s light nature essentially is its biggest pro. The dobby pattern is just that…a pattern that doesn’t really show or do anything for the uniform other than provide some decoration.

This brings us to our first Con. Truthfully without the pattern I’d expect this uniform to be priced around $50 or so. Now that I’ve visited their website and reviewed their Basic Student uniform that is also cotton and polyester at $34.99, I’d expect that price. I have to ask is $70 too much for this uniform. The MSRP on the Mooto Extera is $100, and if you’ve read my review of it, you will know I think it is the best thing since head contact. Would I stop coughing up that extra 30 dollars and grab this uniform…

The true answer is maybe/no. Again, the Mooto Extera is an incredible uniform. This uniform is only good/great. If you are used to spending $50-$70 on Adidas or Nike uniforms this is a logical choice as it is better than their basic Black belt uniforms. If you have the extra money, spend it on the Extera and make your self extra happy.
