Love my Eosin Panther brown belt. I got the firm and mine almost never comes undone with the lock knot. Great vid. Thanks for taking the time to compare.
Just my black yesterday and thinking about going with this. Trying to decide if I wanna try Satin. We have 10 kids at home, so I totally get your first statement. 😂. Took me 13yrs. Keep rolling brother!
@@floker5494 no, the soft wears in quicker. The standard (firm) is just a thicker and heavier belt. They both come untied when rolling so you may want to use the lock knot. I think the coloring of them have more to do with different batch of purple cotton. I got my brown belt in October and I went with the soft version and got some Kanji. I’ll do a video soon. The belt will shrink 4% (5” or so). If you have questions, call Eosin and talk to Mira. Tell her Max Lundeen sent you and she will give you 10% off. Good luck and happy rolling!
Thanks. I already wrote them and mentioned you 😜, just waiting for them to answer. I‘m just not sure if I order the 115 or 118 inch belt. My current belt is 111 inch which is just right.
@@floker5494 I would go with 118 because even the Eosin soft belt is thicker than most belts and having a little extra helps with the larger knot. But your choice!
Haunted I have not used Kataaro but I’ve seen them in person. Very nice, the chess piece version is super cool. But I think Eosin has a slight edge up in quality. Mine is 1.75”. Width is total personal preference. I was contemplating wiser at 2” at one point.
Hi Max! I just got mine. Quick question: Does it get a little bit lighter (in color) after one year of use and several washes? mine feels like too deep of a purple. I wish it was a little bit lighter, it is almost blue.
It will slowly fade to a lighter purple. Look at my video and pause where I show both belts up close together. It was a little odd that the purple color was different between the two belts when new. I thought it had to do with washing but it isn’t. Check out my other video and maybe you can compare? They will fade a bit with time. I finally got a stipe on mine, so I’m happy to make progress over Covid quarantine!!
Richard, it will shrink about 4-5 percent. Mine was actually 4.3% with multiple wash and dry cycles. That’s over 5 inches on a belt, which could make the difference between being able to tie a knot or not! These thicker belts take a little more length to tie a know compared to cheaper soft belts. I’d measure your current belt and multiply by 1.04 or 1.05 and see what length you get...then order around that size.
Only the deluxe color belts allow you to choose between standard and soft. Go to the website and click on products....right underneath jiu jitsu black belt there is the “deluxe color belt”...click on that and choose your color. There will be a drop down menu that asks for size and firmness. The standard and soft are both options there. I just checked and that should work.
I'm on the market for a new blue belt. I'm torn between Eosin Panther and Kataaro. Witch brand do you like better and witch thickness do you prefer? I like the idea of a thick belt but it would get on my nerves to constantly re-tie it
I think the Eosin is a better belt, especially if you get Kanji. Their Kanji looks the best. All the other companies have the belt stitching lines run through the kanji but Eosin doesn’t do this. It looks way better. I think the 1.75 deluxe soft belt is the way to go. Mention my name (Max Lundeen) and you’ll get a discount (I think 10%).
Also….I got my brown belt and I’m going to review a Eosin Panther deluxe soft and Kataaro deluxe soft brown belts in a few months. They are both ordered and on their way!
Congratulations on the promotion! Also I think that video will be super helpful to a lot of people to make a decision. I don't think theres any videos on RU-vid comparing the two brands. I appreciate the help, I'll definitely go with the Eosin Panther! 🤙🏼
@@MLundee1 One more question, how much did the soft belt shrink over time? I wear an A4 and I'm contemplating going 1/2 size up to compensate for any shrinking
@@Daniel_Cooley I wash and dry my belts frequently and they shrank about 4.2% each. That’s about 5 inches or so on an A4 belt. I would figure out the length of the belt you ideally want and multiply by 1.042 and that should be the size you shoot for. The great thing about Eosin is their belts come in half size (about 3”) increments, so you can get pretty close to what you need. My soft belt came in at 116” and it shrank to about 111”. Hope that helps. You can always call and talk to Mira to help you out. She’s great!
