The weights of BJJ kimonos and Jiu Jitsu Gis can vary significantly based on several factors, including the type of weave, material composition, and intended use. Here's a detailed overview of how these weights differ:
Weight Categories for BJJ Kimonos and Jiu Jitsu Gis
1. Lightweight Gis:
- Weight Range: Typically between 300 to 450 GSM (grams per square meter).
- Characteristics: Lightweight Gis are designed for comfort and mobility, making them ideal for hot climates or competitions where weight is a concern. They are easier to maneuver in but may not be as durable as heavier options. Sample of our Gi in this weight is BJJ Gi – Exosphere model.
2. Midweight Gis:

The type of weave used in the fabric of the BJJ Gi also affects its weight and performance:
- Single Weave: Generally lighter and less expensive, typically around 300-450 GSM. This weave is suitable for hot weather training but may lack durability compared to heavier options.
