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.

    Good product and good return service

    I ordered a GI and when I got it was clearly to big. Always hard finding a good size being short and stocky. So I asked how to return it and they simply said as long as i did not wash it or wear it for training i was good to return it. I ordered a different size GI and returned the one that did not fit. The GI I received in the new size fits good and feels great. Clearly good quality and feels great when training and at class. It came to me fairly quickly after placing the order as well. I'm sure ill buy another one in the near future. The return policy is great. They walked me through the process. I clicked the return link, printed out the label they generated for me and sent it back I had the money in my account about a week after shipping it out. Great product, Great customer service and Great return policy. They will have my future business.

    I can’t believe how nice this Gi is for the price! I wouldn’t be able to tell this Gi from a $300 Gi!

    Just buy it

    Recently bought the foundation gi through the ninja bundle and it immediately jumped to my favorite gi. Between the lightweight ripstop pants and the rashguard lining, this gi is awsome. If you're shopping around for a new gi or your first, just stop here and buy the dang thing. You WILL NOT be disappointed. You might just get some compliments at your gym along the way.

    Comfortable and great performance

    I've only recently purchased my first Gold BJJ gi after spending ~10 years within a "buy only our gear" network/team. I can say with assurance that I was not disappointed by anything with regard to this gi. It punches well above its weight class and is comparable to more expensive gear that I've used in the past. Will definitely buy other gear from Gold in the future.
