This article is to review the Elite Sports IBJJF Ultra Light Gi<\/span>…and to find out why it gets my pick as the best BJJ Gi for beginners.<\/p>\n

But also:<\/p>\n

If you’re not a beginner?<\/p>\n

Whether it deserves the 4.7 stars it’s got from 1,197 Amazon reviews<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s find out.<\/p>\n

My Review: Here\u2019s my thoughts and opinions of the Elite Sports IBJJF Ultra Light Gi\u2026<\/h2>\n

So why did I choose this Gi over others?<\/p>\n

I needed a new, plain white Gi with no patches (for travel and drop-ins)<\/p>\n

But, because I already have a few Gi\u2019s, I wanted one that was good value for money.<\/p>\n

After quite a bit of research it came down to 2 finalists:\u00a0Sanabul vs Elite Gi: The Best BJJ Gi for the Money<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sanabul<\/p>\n

[In the end I decided to get one of each]<\/p>\n

I ordered the Elite Sports Gi first…<\/p>\n

… and based on my experience so far<\/em><\/strong>, my next Gi will also be another one of these<\/p>\n

Why is the Elite Sports IBJJF Ultra Light Gi the best Gi for beginners?<\/h2>\n

This is the criteria I used:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Price and value for money<\/li>\n
  2. Accurate sizing<\/li>\n
  3. Material type<\/li>\n
  4. Durability<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Design & style: First impressions<\/h2>\n

    When I pulled this out of the packaging, the first thing I though was:<\/p>\n

    \u201cThis isn\u2019t as plain as I thought it\u2019d be\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Good.<\/p>\n

    \"Elite<\/p>\n

    It has enough patches and color to break it up…<\/p>\n

    \"Elite<\/p>\n

    …but they\u2019re in the right places so it\u2019s still IBJJF legal<\/p>\n

    Sure, it\u2019s not a limited edition Shoyoroll… but it\u2019s good for me. And I always like to remember the rule:<\/p>\n

    \u201cMake sure your gear isn\u2019t better than your Jiu Jitsu\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Even though I bought White, the Elite Sports IBJJF Ultra Light Gi also comes in:<\/p>\n
