Elite Sports BJJ GI for Men IBJJF Kimono BJJ Jiujitsu GIS W/Preshrunk Fabric & Free Belt (See Special Sizing Guide)

I bought the Elite Sports BJJ Gi because of the price as well as the high number of positive reviews about their products. I have been training jiu-jitsu for only 4.5 years and have bought six gis in that time. I am a 51yr old, 265lbs, 6ft.3in blue belt bjj guy that is able to train about 4-6 classes over four days each week. This is my first Elite brand gi and I cannot say enough good things about it. FIRST of all, their online store was easy to navigate. SECONDLY, shipping was quick (two days) and packaged nice and secure, both the product and the shipping packaging. THIRD, the fit and sizing was just right for me. I know there is a sizing chart that you can check, but I just know the A5 is my size in all the different brands of gis I have. However, I always make sure I order from companies that offer free returns and exchanges for the correct size, so that’s never been an issue or worry for me. The pants (for my A5) were a great fit, my thighs were not busting the seams and were loose enough for me to move around, sprawl, squat, windmill, uchi-mata, butterfly, guard, etc. – all kinds of leg stuff that a tight fit would make me feel restricted. The A5 Elite gi pants are a good, strong, and well-sewn. As with most brands, Elite has plenty of drawstring length if you need to cut some off and tie a knot on the end. For this A5, I won’t have to do that. The top (for my A5) was also a great fit. The sleeve length was just right for me, the body length was right where I like it, and the flaps (whatever you call the part you close around your middle) were sized right so my wide girth of a belly didn’t keep it from closing. The shoulder and armpit area was not restrictive. My movements and mobility were fine while doing uchi-mata drills. I have another brand that likes to tighten up around my armpits and makes me feel like I am also fighting my gi as well as my opponent. I didn’t feel like I was fighting the fabric of the Elite A5. FOURTH, the breathability (for my A5) was incredibly impressive. I spent an afternoon of drilling, training, and rolling in our metal building bjj gym with no A/C and bay doors open for a fan to circulate. This July afternoon was hot (for me) at a Mississippi 104 heat index plus humidity. I’m not complaining, I’m just stating the fact that I didn’t test this in November. I wanted to see how the Elite compared to my other “summer” gi. The Elite breathed better than any of my other brands that markets itself as a hot-weather gi. Both are good, but the Elite definitely breathed better. Today’s training in the heat affirmed my choice of the Elite as well as it being the first brand out of my mouth to recommend to my friends. FINALLY, the price (for my A5) was better than any other brand I’ve bought. I have a 19yr old son who is also my height, strength, frame (but not weight), and level of bjj experience. I usually buy two of whatever bjj gear I get. I know that ELITE Sports has specials from time to time, and that helps, but even at regular price, it’s very affordable and appealing. BONUS. For what it’s worth, I have been talking about this gi to my bjj partners and when the day came to train, they knew it was to be put through the ringer. One incident that was funny was during our grip fighting, my opponent had my gi in his grips and paused (briefly) to comment, “Dude, that’s soft! That’s a good feeling gi.” That was a good distraction technique and he got the takedown. I love, love, love this gi. I wore it all day in our seminar and was as comfortable as I could be. Others were taking off their tops between sessions for a breather, but I kept mine on. Go get an ELITE Gi or two. You’ll be glad. (Photo at the end of the training/testing of the Elite A5.)

I've been really impressed with this Elite Sports Gi. The material feels durable without being overly heavy, and it's comfortable enough for long training sessions. The stitching is solid, the fit was accurate to the size chart, and it held up well through rolling, drilling, and multiple washes. What stood out most was the value for the price. It feels comparable to much more expensive gis I've worn. The jacket and pants both have a good balance of toughness and mobility, making it easy to move while still feeling like quality gear. After washing, I experienced minimal shrinkage, and the Gi still fits great. Whether you're a beginner looking for your first Gi or an experienced practitioner wanting a reliable training Gi, I would definitely recommend this one.

Great Gi! The fit is perfect and comfortable. Light weight and durable. Amazing quality for a great price. The color also holds after washing! Would recommend!

Great gi, especially at the price point! Lightweight and breathable material that’s preshrunk; and the customer service is phenomenal. Every gi comes with a free white belt automatically. I appreciate the complementary belt, but it would be cool if we could pick or exchange it for a colored belt. I’m 6’2 205lbs and got the A3. The fit is good, only negative for my wingspan is the arms could be about an inch or two longer

Overall I'm very happy with this BJJ Gi. I just started a few weeks ago, and once I figured out I wanted to continue my journey, I needed to get a gi but didn't want to break the bank. I'm 6' even and about 180lbs. Since I was really close to the cutoff for the A3 on the size chart, and didn't want to be too constrained by the gi, I first tried the A4 size. It was massive, and even if it had shrunk in the wash (or I tried on purpose), I would have lost the needed length on my arms and legs but it still would have been way too big around my torso. I then ordered an A3, and that fits much better. However, the sleeves and legs are just a bit shorter than I would like, and the gi still has plenty of size around my legs and torso. So I'm feeling like an A2L that some other brands offer might actually be the perfect fit. Comfort wise, the pants were great from the start. The top itself was a bit stiff, however now that I've washed it a few times after classes, it's starting to loosen up a bit. The material used for both top and bottom are nice and feel very high quality, and I have no doubt they'll stand up well to abuse. They claim this gi is preshrunk, however I would still advise you don't ever dry it with any heat, and probably stick with washing in cold water. I've washed mine 3 times so far, and after the first wash in cold water and hang drying only, there was still a noticeable loss of sleeve and pant leg length. It wasn't a ton, and it will still work (just barely), but if it had shrunk any further, I would have been unhappy. I might still try an A2L from another brand that's in this same price point, but overall if you can find a size that fits you well, it's hard to recommend spending any more for other brands, especially if you're a white belt.

I couldn't be happier with my Elite Sports gi. The quality is outstanding, with durable stitching and strong fabric that has held up through intense training and frequent washing. The fit is comfortable and allows excellent mobility without feeling bulky. For the price, it's one of the best values in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gear. The gi looks great, feels great, and performs just as well as much more expensive brands. I highly recommend Elite Sports to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality gi for training or competition

Quality Gi! I really liked the feel of the material ! Light weight and tested in tough rolls! Great Go to Gi ! Fits well for my size 185lbs and 5”7 ! Color looks great !

Bought this for my son who is in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He wears this to class at least three times a week. The material is thick and very heavy-duty. Quality has been great. It fit him very well, but he is just now starting to grow out of it. Just be sure to look at the sizing chart to see the size and length that you'd wear. It fits my son very well. It gets washed quite a bit and has not shrunk. It has not faded or lost color at all. Liked this Gi so well that when we upgrade, we'll just get the bigger size he needs. He also does tournaments and we've had no issues with this Gi entering. I'd highly recommend it, and the price is great.

The titel is ” Elite Sports Unisex - Adult Et500 Adult Bjj Gi (Pack of 2)” - there was only one gi. More polyester feel in the gi than regular. Na. If u usel to regular gis like Tatami, Manto, Scramble or Kingz. Stick to Thoose.

Great

La tela se siente de muy buena calidad: es cómoda y ligera, sin sentirse pesada durante el entrenamiento. La talla A3 me quedó perfecta (mido 1.76 m y peso 85 kg). Sin duda, es una excelente compra.

I was a bit sceptical about ordering a gi one size up from what I normally wear, but I'm glad I trusted the advice of the very helpful Elite Sports rep - it fits perfectly! The stunning blue jacket and pants are very lightweight, which is perfect for the looming summer weather in Melbourne, and while only time will tell how durable they are, I haven't noticed any tearing or unravelled stitching after 3 heavy rolling sessions. The jacket has also not shrunk after washing it as instructed. This gi will definitely be in frequent use, and I've received several compliments about it already. I particularly enjoy that it is relatively lowkey and free of too many patches aside from tastefully applied Elite Sports logos. The drawstring is sturdy with multiple loops to secure it, so the pants will never slide down. And the package even included a compimentary white belt, which is a nice touch for new jiu-jitsu practitioners.
