I'm 5' 6" (66 inches) and about 170 lbs. I tried on an A3 at my BJJ class tonight, but from the reviews, I'm thinking I'll need an A2. Anyone know?

I'd say A2. I'm 5'7 160lb and whether it's Adidas/Mizuno/Fuji gi, I wear A2... depends how long you want the sleeves/cuffs go though. I prefer shorter sleeves/cuffs so I usually get the pants hemmed..

Look at the size chart and go by that. You can shrink them some. I am 6'2" 195 and an A4 fits well so A3 may be big? Also take into consideration if you tried on a brand new one or one that has been worn. It it has been worn and washed it will have already shrank some. Additionally most students will shrink in the dryer during their first wash to get the size right. Good luck

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

I'm about the same size as you and have been using the A3 for a few months now, depends on how you like the it to fit, definitely fits on the looser side but i'd go with the A3 again.

I am 5'2" and weight about 125. I pull it pretty tight. I think I would go to a sporting goods store and try on a junior size before ordering one. I do love it and use it a lot.

I haven't weighed it but I can. I can say that five rounds of 20seconds on 10rest works my arms like no other workout I've ever done. I've used both and prefer the 1.5 inch. I can go longer with 1.5 which equals cardiovascular gas out. With the 2 inch arms burn out too quick and I like the cardiovascular and arm burnout at same time. Plus my wife can't hang with 2", it's more about rythem than weight. If you are over 6 foot and burly you might want 2" but 1.5 will still kick your butt.

I agree regarding the height. My husband is 6'0 and 210, but he says he thinks that the equipment would be fine for a man of your size.

I'm 5'7" and the only thing I've got to say on the negative side is that the gear runs on the short side. Given your length, I'd go large. Besides, just make sure the order is fulfilled by Amazon you can easily return then for an exchange. If you've got the cash, you can even buy one in each size, try them on, and return the one you don't like. Still, large is my bet for you. The most important thing is to make sure you've got the right fit for the wrist guards, and these are some of the best I've used. The design is ergonomic, the fit on the lower hands is great, the guards for between your thumbs and hands is great, and the wrist extensions are solid. A bump on a shin or a scrape on an arm can heal quickly. A broken wrist because the guards don't fit right or give you proper coverage given the length you likely have on me, probably a good 2.5" reach each arm, go large and send them back if they're not right. You don't have much to lose if they're right the first time. Hope that helps. Good luck!

I'm just under 6' and weigh 155 and the L/X worked best for me. Try them on at a store if possible. If not, you would probably need a L/X. Hopefully return shipping is free, just in case.

I'm 6'1/185 Ibs. and I chose to get a size 6 in the unbleached. After washing and use, it has become more comfortable and it fits correctly. I would reccomend a size 5 for you, just remember to wash in cold water and always hang dry your gi. Good luck

Absolutely! I'm the same height as you only a few more pounds and the holster fits like a dream. The extra mag pouches help balance it out to where you don't even know you have it on.I couldn't have been happier for the purchase of this quality shoulder holster. Get it!....Best to you Brian

Judo gi's run bigger than other martial art gi's in general. I'm 5'4" and I was swimming in a small, so a small should fit someone of your height well.

That seems a little big IMO. But here would be some of my questions. What size and weight is your son using currently? If he's swinging say a 30 or 29, is it really light for him? If not, I would buy the correct size elsewhere instead of getting a better price and having to put chokes on the grip. I err on the smaller size. I see a lot of parents buy big to save money or in hopes for them to hit harder. I like to keep the correct size or in my case, I bought smaller than I wanted to because of the better deal here. Its the form that counts but if you go bigger, it could hurt more than help the form. Just my $0.02 That seems a little big IMO. But here would be some of my questions.

My gi is a 5/190 & fits me great. Sizes are based on height & weight, so be sure to check those 2 things in order to get the right size.

I think a large would be the minimum. Also depends on how much gear you have. I would probably select an extra large to be safe.

I think an A4 will be good. I'm 5'-9", 240 lbs, shoulder to shoulder across the chest is 24". I got a size A4 and the pants fit, but for the top, the area around my belly was a bit tight. Some companies offer a size A2H for stout builds, you may want to check that size out too. Size A3 will not fit.

Man.......I'm only 5'3" and 163lbs and I go with the medium, they're some fitting charts on line that might be able to help you, good luck...

Well...since I'm of the "more is better" persuasion, my knee-jerk answer is the 22lb. That said, though, I'm 5' 8" & 150 and the 17.6 works just fine. Of course, I haven't actually tried the 22lb, so can't say whether it might really be better and worth a couple of bucks. Hope that helps!

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.
