Sanabul Essential BJJ Gi for Women Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Gi for Women Lightweight Preshrunk Fabric

I followed the size chart and it fit pretty well. I have narrow shoulders so that could be why the jacket arms were a bit too long. Everything else fit perfectly and after shrinking the gi jacket it's at the perfect length now. It seems to run true to size and I love the fit. I am 5', 103lbs. I have short limbs and the pants hit the perfect spot, so if you have longer legs you may want to size up. It's better to order up than down and then shrink to your desired fit than to have a gi that leaves no room for error, as they can shrink a bit even with cold water washes. I did notice that even after a couple of washes, my Gi was shedding. I got it in black and it left some black fuzz on my sparring partner as well as on my belt. It seems to be fine now, but you might want to give it a longer wash or even a couple of washes before using it. I will be back for more! I have a Venum gi that is double the price and this gi feels basically the same when practicing, so it's a great value.

I've been doing BJJ for about 5 years and just started judo lessons as well - saw this gi on a teammate and it looked so good on her I bought the same one lol. Incredible price, I really wasn't expecting amazing quality but the lapel seems very durable and the material is solid. Love the green on white. The fit looked very good on my friend, on me it's a little awkward where the top is large and the pants are short but I have a little torso and long legs so that kind of happens with every gi on me. I guess that means it pretty much fits as expected lol. I like this gi

This gi is lighter weight than my century gi and is more comfortable to roll in. I am 5’6 130 pounds in a W3 and the jacket fits perfectly. The pants are the correct length but a little large in the waist requiring a lot of cinching but I have a very small frame. The collars are stiff enough for secure throws and grabs. I actually like the fit and comfort more than my more expensive gi. And of course, black and purple are excellent colors with less cleaning required than the white gi. I’m very pleased with the quality and price!

I just started bjj classes, so I ordered 3 different sanabul gis to decide which would fit me best as my first gi. This means I'm very inexperienced and can't compare them to other brands and qualities, but I wanted to offer the differences I noticed between them for others looking for their first gi. I'm a 5'3" female weighing about 130 lbs with some curves for reference. I've listed the 3 I ordered and notes under about each: 1.) Sanabul Essentials V.2 Ultra Light Pre Shrunk BJJ Jiu Jitsu Gi (Blue, A0) See Special Sizing Guide -Lightest and thinnest feel of the material of the three -Largest wingspan in the arms, about 1.5 inches longer on each arm than the core competition style -Shorter pant length than the core competition style by about a half to 1 inch -Soft wrist and ankle holes (in the pictures this is the royal blue one) 2.) Sanabul Core Competition Brazilian Jiu Jitsu BJJ Gi (See Special Sizing Guide) (Black/Blue, A0) -Thickest and heaviest feel of material of the three -Smaller wingspan than the v.2 ultra light -Longer pant length than the v.2 ultra light -Just inside the sleeves and ankles, there is a sewn-in strip of fabric that is very sharp and scratchy around the edges. I don't know if this would become softer after washes, but it was a major deal breaker for me since it was actually painful to walk around in these when they brushed against my feet and ankles (in the pictures this is the black one with electric blue accents) 3.) Sanabul New Item Women's Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Gi (Black, W2) **This One** -Between the other two in material thickness and weight -Shortest wingspan by about half inch -Shortest pant length by about half inch -A bit higher waisted than the other two, which I liked since it hit at the small of my waist. This will help the pants from going anywhere while I'm rolling -Smooth and soft wrist and ankle holes (in the pictures, this is the black one with purple threading and accents) -Much more room in the pants around the butt and slimmer cut in the kimono I haven't washed any of these and have only tried each on briefly, but I know that if any of these are too large, you can shrink them down with hot water in the wash and a warm tumble cycle in the drier. They all seem of about the same quality, and I don't imagine they would rip easily. The collar feels about the same stiffness on each. Overall, I would highly suggest girls get the women's style unless they have a very masculine build. The material strained a bit at the bottom of a squat for me in both of the male/unisex ones, but the women's style allowed a full and easy range of motion. There was also some less fabric bunching around the back and less wide shoulders in the women's. I didn't think it would be that noticeable of a difference between the unisex and female, but there is, so I'm glad I was able to figure out early on that I should only buy women's sized gis going forward. For guys, if you're really concerned about having longer pants or a heavier gi, I would suggest the competition core, but otherwise, because of the added sharp fabric around the sleeves and ankles and I imagine the extra trapped heat while wearing, I would advise to go for the v.2 ultra light. There may be some other slight differences, but these seemed the most noticeable to me. Also, note that none of them come with belts, so remember to purchase a belt separately. Happy rolling! **I'll be updating this review as I use this gi in classes**

Sanabul makes a great Gi for a good price. Sanabul gis also last forever. The fabric and fit are much nicer than Elite brand. I ordered hot pink, and it is a great shade of pink. I wash my gis on delicate and use a laundry sanitizer and hang the. To dry and have not had any shrinking.

I love this gi. I got the black and purple one and I always get compliments whenever I wear it. It’s lightweight but durable and feels good on the mats. The pants run a little large on me, but I just pull the drawstrings extra tight. I’m 5’7, 130 pounds, so I got the A3, as suggested on the sizing guide. I also noticed that some of the threading is starting to pop out on the lettering a little since I’ve washed it a couple of times, but I’m hoping that it won’t get worse. I wash it inside out on cold and hang it to dry.

Loved this gi, had a great fit for women, very light and comfortable at the gym. Wore it for about 3 weeks and as many washes and on the third wash, the jacket shrunk! Quite a bit, it’s snug on my shoulders and two inches higher than my wrists… I really liked this gi but I can’t wear it and the return window is closed so it’s pretty annoying.

I am a total beginner in BJJ and I asked one of my teammates what gi she recommends getting starting out. She pointed me to this one and I am 5’1 and size W2 works great for me. The pants are the right length however they are a little baggy but that is fine. The top fits me well and is good length on the arms. I got the A1 belt and it is the perfect size around my waist. I am glad I didn’t get the A2 belt because it would’ve been too long once I tied it.

Good quality, fun gi. Ordered W4 for 6'00" and 170 lbs and the size is a lil too big.

Great

this gi is pretty, affordable, and comfortable! super impressed with quality and have gotten a lot of compliments of it. only issue is that the string tends to come out after a month or two of use. But other than that it's an amazing gi that is well worth the $80 you spend on it. Delivery was pretty quick, and I'm overall very impressed with sanabul as a whole

True to fit. W3. Great Gi. I’m 5’4, 134-140lbs Light Division. I ordered up a size and dried it to get rid of the lint. You can move in it so well and it’s super light weight compared to other Gis and IBJJF approved, so it’s perfect for competing. It does shrink a little so I’d order up a size or don’t machine dry it!

Muy buen color, no pesa, buena tela, la talla es la indicada, se ve precioso!
