This is only the 2nd gi I've ever purchased, but I'm already in love. On top of RollMore's AMAZING shipping, this gi has a "broken in" feeling from first time I pulled it out of the bag. The entire gi weighs about as much as the top of my old gi.

I will say: I had to exchange the A3 that I originally ordered for an A2. I'm about 5'11", 190-200lbs depending on the day. I ordered the A3 because I didn't want the top to be too small, and I was hoping I could shrink the pants to my liking (I like to have the shortest pants that I can get away with in competition.). To 93 Brand's credit, I have washed and dried the A3 in hot, and the gi has tightened up no more than an inch. I've never seen anything like it; the thing refuses to shrink. That said, If you're unsure about sizing, and like a more "fitted" gi, I'd suggest sizing down.

Some other notes:

- I did notice a few stray threads/random stitching issues, but nothing I was too concerned with.

- If I'm being picky, I'd have liked to see a gi bag included, but for the price point, I can understand not including one.

- This lapel on this gi is like wearing a pull-up bar around your neck. If you don't like people grabbing your lapels, stay away from this bad boy. The lightweight top, coupled with the 17 oz. ripstop collar, makes for an easily gripped lapel.

Overall: I'd definitely recommend this to anyone out there looking for a solid lightweight gi (especially if you want lightweight but don't want ripstop.) I've gotten a ton of positive comments on this gi, and other than needing to exchange the sizes, I've got nothing but positive things to say about this gi.
