Like anything else in life, there are many answers to this question. Some might say, "You get what you paid for." Others aren't sure and want a minimal output until they see that their child will "stick with it."

Optional- Shin protectors, wrist protectors, wrist wraps, face mask, chest pad.
Karate gi (uniforms) can have a variety of different prices. The reason for the various prices is due to different fabric qualities, different fabric colors, and different fabric weights.
At some online supply stores, a 5 year old's uniform might cost the same as an adults. At other places, the prices will vary by size.
You can usually find prices starting in the $10-$18 price range, but these are very light weight (5 oz) and tend to be rather transparent. An adult needs at least an 8 oz and should consider heavier. While the material is thicker, it tends to stand off the skin and not stick. I recommend a 6oz for my students for their first gi.
