Japanese sumo wrestlers look pretty funny, if not entertaining. Well, I don’t want to sound judgmental, but seeing two bulky men with massive arms and legs and big protruding bellies wrestling and grappling with each other and wrestling makes for quite a funny image. People of all ages, especially children, love sumo wrestlers and stuff pillows and cushions into their shirts, pretending to be sumo wrestlers and wrestling like them. Do you remember the famous Yukozuna from WWF? So, whose favorite fighter among you was?
Now, you don’t need pillows or cushions to look like sumo wrestlers when you can get sumo suits quite easily. In addition, they also make a Halloween costume. These suits are not only affordable, but also very easy to put on and comfortable.
There are two types of sumo suits available:
Padded
inflatable
Padded suits are made of PVC material. The feel and texture of the suit makes you look like a heavyweight sumo champion. However, putting on this sumo suit in scorching summers can make a person feel uncomfortable or even suffocated. Although it depends on the PVC material used, these suits are waterproof and corrosion resistant.
As for the inflatable suits, these are made of rubber or soft plastic. Blow air with air guns and they will puff up, giving you a heavy sumo look. Inflated suits are much lighter and more comfortable to wear than padded suits. Also, you can easily take them anywhere as they can be easily deflated when not in use.
Inflated suits are particularly popular with children and teenagers. Whether it’s a Halloween party or a birthday party, bouncy castles or inflatable sumo suits make the party even more fun and exciting. You can even bring an adult dressed in a sumo suit, pretending to be a sumo wrestler and playing with the kids.
You can easily purchase these suits or even purchase them on lease. There are many providers available online that are just a phone call away. However, always buy or rent them from trusted dealers.
People who rent sumo suits also give away headgear and belly buttons. So make sure your rental service also provides these essential accessories.
Also, you should know that these suits come in all sizes. Make sure you get one that fits your height. If you don’t get one that fits your size, you’ll miss out on the fun element completely, as you won’t be able to enjoy it comfortably or put on an interesting show.
These sumo suits don’t cost much. Renting it out is perhaps a cost-effective solution and doesn’t charge more than $200-$250 per day.
When looking for the best rental service in your city, make sure that they meet all of these conditions, not to mention that they keep your suits clean. It takes almost 2 hours on average to clean the suit properly, and spending that much time is only taken seriously by reputable companies.
