Hi everyone,

I need help choosing the right BJJ gi size because I’m stuck between A2 and A2L and nothing seems to fit me properly.

My stats:

• Height: 185 cm (6'1")
• Weight: 81 kg (178 lbs)
• Athletic/slim build

Here’s my problem:

• A2 pants usually fit me perfectly (waist and length are good)
• But the A2 gi jackets are often too short in the sleeves and feel tight in the shoulders/chest
• A2L fixes the jacket length issue, but then the pants become too loose and baggy

For example, I tried a Tatami Balistico 4.0 A2:

• Pants: perfect fit
• Jacket: too tight + sleeves slightly too short

So I feel like I’m stuck between sizes:

• A2 = good pants, bad jacket
• A2L = good jacket, bad pants

I’m mainly looking for a black gi, and I don’t want something overly baggy.

Right now I’m considering the Kingz Kore V2, but I’m not sure if A2 would solve my problem or if I’ll have the same issue again.

Has anyone with similar height/weight dealt with this?
What brands or models worked best for you?

Thanks a lot for any help
