Gold BJJ Gi Size Chart

This size chart is for unisex sizes (A0 to A5) for all of our gis. We also offer our gis in womens' and kids' cuts.

You might find that your frame is suitable for multiple sizes - gi sizing is a matter of personal taste. If you like a tighter, more slim fitting cut you should err toward the smaller size. If you prefer extra room in your gi you can choose the larger size in your range.

While we use pre-shrunk fabric in all of our gis, you can still expect some shrinkage (especially if you're washing in hot water, or tumble drying). A good rule of thumb is heavier weight gis (like our Valiant or Calavera) will shrink more than lighter weight gis (like our Aeroweave). For more information on gi shrinkage, check out this video.

Not sure if you're choosing the right size? We get it, gi sizing can be tricky. That's why we offer totally free pre-paid returns.

Introducing the
Foundation Gi

The Foundation gi features:

  • 450gsm Pearl Weave Jacket
  • Rash Guard Jacket Liner
  • 10oz Ripstop Pants
  • Elastic "FOR THE JOURNEY" drawstring

IBJJF Compliant

The Foundation Gi (in all 3 colors) has been designed to meet all IBJJF competition requirements.

The medium weight of this gi is ideal for competitors. It's light enough to help with making weight, but heavy enough to prove difficult for your opponent to grip.

The Perfect
Everyday Gi

The Foundation Gi is built with a classic Pearl Weave that is a great weight for all climates and training environments.

Please note that our gis do not include belts.

    Great product, slow shipping.

    Love gold gi's, this is my second order. They say shipping is in 1 business day. My order was made dec 26, the label was printed dec 30, and didn't actual ship until jan 4. That is a total of 9 days not the stated 1 day. It has now been over 14 days and i still don't have the Gi.

    This Gi in the A3H does not fit the same as the Calavera Gi even though it is described to fit the same according to the size chart. I’m going to be returning this Gi and purchasing another Calavera Gi.

    Better than Expected

    I have multiple Gi's from other brands and found myself wanting another to stay ahead on the laundry! Some folks in my gym have Gold Gi's and said that they were happy so I gave it a go. I purchased a "Foundation" Gi. After using twice I have to admit I'm pleased. Pants are the most comfortable I have and the jacket is sturdy yet lightweight enough. I will be back in the future when there is more laundry to do!

    Sleeves are long

    Great quality- love the gi! But the sleeves on the A4 run long for me.

    Very Impressed.

    The overall experience with Gold BJJ was beyond excellent. I am 6’2” and 185lbs. I ordered an A2L gi because I knew there was no way that I was going to wash and air dry it so I was hoping to find something long enough to shrink up a bit. Well I couldn’t be happier. It’s a bit long to start but the ability for me to throw in the dryer without worry is priceless. Oh, and as far as quality is concerned you will not be disappointed!! Thank you Gold BJJ.
