Yes. I bought one of the HCK double's last Christmas.
The Good: Nice tight fit. Great fabric, good collar, good logo stitching.
The Bad: Pants stretch more then desirable while grappling
Overall I like the gi, but I don't think the $50 price difference between HCK and Atama/Ouano doubles is justified.Comment

Jared,
I just got done with taking a Judo class in my Atama gold weave and it is alot cooler than the double I have worn. I was actually surprised at how cool I was at the end of class. I have not rolled in it yet but I plan on trying it on Monday.

Have one
For the cooler months I use my Ronin doubel weave. For the Summer some of my students have either the single or the gold weave atama. I also have the golde weave. It is only slightly heaver than the single and almost as durable as the double.Comment
