5 Things You MUST Consider Before
Hiring Sumo Suits From ANYONE
Whilst there are many great sumo hire companies, there are some dodgy ones too! Here are
the five things you MUST ask anyone you are thinking of hiring from...
#1: SUMOS MUST BE PADDED NOT INFLATABLE
Many people expect from the pictures that sumo suits must be inflatable. The inflatable ones are designed
as costumes and not as a wrestling activity. Inflatable sumos will pop straight away! You can buy the
inflatable ones over the internet for about $40 and they are good for a costume but not for wrestling. Any
decent sumo hire company will have sumos that are made of thick PVC and are pre-padded with plenty of
foam. These are the safest, the biggest, and the most fun!

#2: HOW CLEAN ARE THE SUMOS?
Do you want your guests to have to put on a grubby old sumo suit? Of course not! Make sure your only hire
from a company that cleans and disinfects their sumo suits before and after every hire. Some may have a
few marks on the outside, which won’t matter at all, but check to
see that they are hygienically cleaned. This helps with both comfort
and general health.


Holes for each leg and

Harder to get in and out. Leg holes
make it harder for smaller and
larger people.
#4: HOW PROFESSIONAL IS THE HIRE COMPANY?
Be wary of people who have just bought one cheap set of sumos and put a website up to make some extra
cash. Sure, maybe they are just starting out, but they might not be able to offer the service and satisfaction
of an established company. If hiring sumos is not their main business, then their sumo customers probably
aren’t their main priority! Do they have credit card facilities, charge GST, fax facilities, delivery service,
flexibility to work with your schedule. These are the indicators as to whether a company is a quality operator
or not.
