I wanted a very light weight gi for competition. After much research I settled on either the Kingz Ultra Light, or this Kingz Sport Gi. I preferred the look of the Sport gi with the shoulder patches and side leg patches. I weighed this gi when I received it, and the A2 was just over 2.6 pounds. That's over a full found less than the gi I wear daily...for comps, this pound could be a big difference. I'm 6'2" and weight 163 (tall and thin build) and the A2 after a cold wash and medium heat dry for about 20 minutes is a perfect fit.
