I was promoted to blue belt and we are required to get our own belts. I had hoped to get a Blue Koral but were sold out everywhere.
The standard Cotton CTRL industries belts were sold out so I tried the Deluxe 350 gsm pearl weave Gi material version.
I also got a great deal on a lightly Used Eosin Panther Deluxe soft belt.
UPDATE: I wore the Eosin Panther tonight and stated tight very well. It really feels like quality. Looks amazing. I really like it. too bad it didnt help my crappy jiu jitsu skills ;)
The Ctrl is a very dark royal and the material in maybe just not what im used to. It stays tied well, but did loosen ever so slightly but overall did well. It may grow on me.. I def prefer the traditional smooth cotton belts to the pearl weave at this point.
Koral is a great belt and I hope to get a blue one when back in stock. I really like the color, design of the logo and the lightweight ness. and the price is good.
Other belts i looked at were:
Atama
Fuji ( not wild about the light baby blue)
Flow Hemp ( out of stock)
Scramble
