So I normally don't write reviews, but I was so impressed with this Gi that I felt compelled to write one for everyone out there.

I now own 3 of these same Sanabul Essentials V.2 Ultra Light gis. After buying several other "budget" gis this is my absolute go to. My other gis are Fuji standard, Gameness Air, Jiu Jitsu Athletica and Your Jiu Jitsu Gear. The Sanabul gis are hands down my favorite.

This gi has incredible quality, both in the top and the pants. The material is durable and thick, yet lightweight, with thick and wide collars/lapels. The pants have an awesomely thick drawstring (not that thin, cheap one on most gis) with six wide eyelet loops, 3 on each side, to loop the drawstrings through. I love this because I have ripped off the other eyelets on my other gis just simply tieing my gi. No problem with this gi. The front of the pants have an extra piece of material sewn in, from above the knee to below, for extra insulation as your constantly encountering friction on the mat and your opponents. The crotch section is also sewn with a separate piece of material that not only gives it a great look but also that stretch function so that you don't rip your pants at the crotch!!!

This gi has turned out to be really solid. I've been wearing it for nearly a year and it hasn't ripped or torn. Now having bought a few nicer gis I'm amazed at how well the Sanabul fits. I have very long arms so most gis, even some A5s are short in the sleeves, but the Sanabul A4 is perfect. I'm 6'5" ~225lbs. Tatami A4 is toll short in the sleeves and the knee reinforcement is too high, it completely misses my knee. Sanabul's is perfect. The reason I am not going to give the gi 5 stars however is because of the pants. The pants really, really stretch out. I find myself having to pull them up so they don't bind on my knees when rolling. These are my only twill pair of pants, my others are all ripstop so I am not sure if this is normal or not, but after the warmup and some drills I'm normally sweating enough that the pants start to stretch. Even after a wash they are way to long. I dry them in the dryer, they shrink, and then stretch out again terribly as soon as they are wet, far longer than they ever were new. I don't have the same problem with the top.

As an active competitor, some of the things I look for when purchasing a Gi are: quality, durability, fit, price, weight and style. My new Gi possess all the aforementioned things. The fit is great, I'm 5'10", about 200lbs, so I wear an A3. The material is light weight and allows fluid mobility. It is also ibjjf approved.

The A2 is a great fit with plenty of room. Very comfortable . No washing and shrinkage. Was amazed how well it fits. Their sizing is different than other manufacturers so pay attention. I contacted their customer service for assistance on size and they were very helpful.

Price Performance is top!! Pants a little too big. Ultra fast Delivery! Top
