It's great quality but still light weight. In the winter my kid wore clothes under it.

It's not lightweight like a TKD uniform, it's more on the heavy side like a judo uniform

It is light weight, but it is heavy enough to be durable. The truly light weight 5 oz gi is not very durable and will wear out quick in comparison to this one.

Mira,Yes, it is a lightweight 8 oz. Gi and will not be too heavy. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.SteveThe Martial Arts Store(770) 441-9946

I am 5'-7" and I use A2. Look at different brands and they will show a chart for height and weight. Try Fuji, good quality Gi's that don't shrink

Double weave too heavy for daily practice, this gi is comfortable and thick enough

I bought the A3, it weighs 3lbs on the dot. I used it to compete in the US Open a couple days ago and it's definitely IBJJF approved. Also it's one of the most comfortable Gi's I've ever owned...and I own some really top level Gi's.

No, and its very heavy. The belt area is pretty long. If your not very tall you may want to go with a shorter belt area and it will obviously be lighter and easier to move.

Actually its pretty light. I carry mine around all the time and it isn't heavy at all!

I would say it's fairly light. It doesn't weigh the pocket down but you still know it's there since it will most likely be pressing up against your leg. If you are looking for an exact weight, I wouldn't be able to tell you :/

No. its not too heavy. Its just right. The bottom is thick but the sides are thin. Its a good weight.

It's soo lightweight. Maybe 2Lbs. The major part of it is very thin and flexible enough to roll it up. Not heavy at all.

yes. i do wear a thin belt sometimes and it works ok. the thicker or wider the belt the better. i have tried wearing it without sometimes with jeans. its a little wobbly. kinda like it might flip out. the gun is light and easy to carry. i have an uncle mikes cloth holster. i do use it without a belt. it much better. but the gun is not as secure in it vs the tagua.

I'm 5'9" at 150lbs. Based on the length you would need A2. My gi did not shrink too much. YMMV.

I would say not too heavy. It is a heavy mil and may require some folding and rolling practice. Would fit flat in a backpack or rolled and on top of a smaller pack (like mine).

It's pretty light weight. You will see the actual weight on the items description.

I do Karate here so its the same... keep it short - NO. It won't keep you cool. Sorry to say, it feels good on your skin, it won't feel so good under such a heavy garment... Plus, it will ruin this shirt... Live with your sweat, make peace with it, love it :) No need for anything under your gi. If you do want something, get a sleeveless top, but this this, its not as tight as one expected. Its good for jogging out showing off your body. If you want to keep 10 degrees cooler take some ice cubes. or spray yourself with that ice cold spray for injuries. If you want to wick sweat better, look for outdoor/hiking tops, they tend to wick much better than UA. I also tried Columbia's COOL ZERO or whatever its called, wasn't tight enough. Go to the shop before you order online, you will get the feeling yourself... Hope it helps. Again, this is one awesome shirt to wear without anything above it. I forgot to mention - AVOID COTTON! Unless you want to be weight down by all your sweat which might make you feel a bit cooler - since you're wet.

It is light enough but it does not break down easily, so it will be bulky as you try to carry it up and down stairs.
