Elite Gi Review
First Impressions
Hey everybody and welcome to PNWBJJ. Hope everyone in the PNW is doing well. This is a review on my initial impressions of the Elite Gis. This a sharp looking gi that has a lot to offer. First off you can’t beat the price. Right now they are on sale for only $50 on the Elitesports.com website.
I’ve got the black w/ red trim and navy blue w/ gray gis. The colors on these gis are rich and vibrant. The quality of the fabric and stitching appears to be well made. I would categorize these as a medium weight gi. It’s not to thin or light and not to heavy.
I wear a men’s gi size A2. Out of the box it fits comfortably and the leg length is perfect for my short legs. This gi feels good in the shoulders and chest with room to move but not so much that it feels baggy. I only hope it doesn’t shrink after washing a few times as I would most likely not fit in it any longer. With that said the website does say they are pre-shrunk. So that is good news.
I’ve worn a lot of gis over the past 14 years I’ve been in jiu-jitsu and would recommend this gi for anyone.
If you’re new to jiu-jitsu this gi is especially attractive as it’s low price point offers you a great investment into jiu-jitsu without sacrificing a lot of money up front. Elite has a great selection of colors on their website and I also like the fact that the sizing options on there don’t say out of stock or coming soon.
I’m looking forward to giving these gis a try and looking sharp while getting some training in.
Also full disclaimer - Elite did send me these gis free to review. With that said I am not bound to give them a good review and nor would I if I felt these were an inferior product.
So after my initial look and first couple of rolls in this gi, my first impressions are that I would recommend this gi to anyone. If you’re new to the sport or on a budget this is an excellent option to wear on the mats. These gis are a great value for your money.
I’m going to give these a try for a couple more months and provide another review on how they are holding up after testing them on the mats and in the washing machine. Thanks for watching. Everyone out there keep pushing and together we rise.
