Hayabusa Ultra-Lightweight Pearlweave Jiu Jitsu Gi

I was in the market for a lightweight competition gi and I bought this one over the Fuji Suparaito. I think both are comparable and they are similarly priced. I purchased a black A1 for 119$. I am 5'8" and weigh 150lbs with a slim athletic build.Pros: The pants are a perfect length and fit very nicely. They are 10oz ripstop so they are a little stiff but should loosen up over time. The hem stops just above my ankle. Also, the hem is a straight cut (not bell bottoms or tapered like some other gi's). During training I noticed (or didn't notice) the pants binding or riding up. Overall, I really like these pants. They are also very sharp looking.Cons: The top... if I had to pick something out that I don't like, it's the cut of the top. I have several gi's and this one seems to be loose in the chest area. The sleeves, shoulders, and waist fit great but the chest is loose and bunches right in front of my armpits. The last thing is the logo on the lapel. It looks great but it makes that part of the top stiff and bunch up more. The lapel is VERY stiff and I hope it softens up after a bit. I find my top becoming untucked very easily.Would I recommend this gi to someone? For the money it's really sharp and the pants fit great. The cons about the top fitment are something I can live with but wish I didn't have to.UPDATE: Jan 30, 2019. I also bought the Suparatio shortly after getting the Hyabusa. I have trained 9 times since I purchasing them. So far I have grabbed the Hyabusa 8 of those times. I definitely like it better than the Fuji. It seems it started fitting better now that it has several sessions and launderings in it. The pants are still great.Upgraded from 3 to 4 stars.

I bought this item from Amazon. I am a long-time fan of hayabusa, I have a 5 of their rashguards, 3 gis now. Hayabusa products are famous for having the highest quality. However, their previous gis had high shrinkage rate, which made me unable to wear them at tournament. Now, this gi, first of all, is very light, has moderate shrinkage rate, and the pearl weave fabric is woven tightly which make you superior in kumi kata. Moreover, the embroidment next to the lapel prevents your opponent from grabbing it. This is definitely the best gi Hayabusa have ever made.

Great gi! And only a few bucks more for this Pro version. Very much worth the extra $. Size A2 fits me perfect. I'm 5'10", 160 lbs, 31 inch waste and 31 inch inseam (pants length). This is a very well made gi. The high ranking bjj guys in class all like Hayabusa gi's and say they will last forever. Plus this one really looks great. Very clean without a lot of logos, words, patches, etc that most gi's have these days. And tasteful inner-color accents without flashy multi-colored areas. This is the gi you want from Amazon.

Great quality for a decent price. The pants are a ploy-cotton blend with rip-stop (square pattern) stitching. Haven’t had it long enough to assess shrinking but it’s definitely comfortable and light.Only real complaint is the sizing but that can’t be helped. I’m 5’5” and fluxuate between 160 and 180 depending on my bulk/cut cycle. I bought the A2 sizing for the chest room. The arms and pants are both about 2-3” too long. Not the company’s fault...just my life.*Update: I was able to shrink the top to a point where it’s functional. Sleeves came in about 2 inches while maintaining the 7cm slack clearance. The pants don’t shrink much at all, probably because it’s a cotton/poly composite. I had to tailor those manually. Now she fits like a dream.

The good parts first. The gi is really light weight. The weave is tight and strong.The bad part is the stitching through the left lapel made it never sit right across the shoulder and back on that side even after repeated washes.I like their products overall, just not this one.

9 months of use, lightweight gi but NOT durable. This rip separated from the base seam. Most of my Hayabusa purchases have been top notch, but this might be a little too lightweight.UPDATED 11/21After getting the first hole patched, now have a hole in other side in nearly the exact same spot. Definitely a design flaw in the reinforcement on both lats about 5 inches or so below the armpit. I cannot imagine this new design was quality control tested. Do not buy. Pics are truth.

Awesome product. Train one to two times a day four days a week or more. I was these gis every time after training session and dry them completely. I have several of these gis and the only shrink a tiny bit.

I'm 6'2 200lbs. The A3 fits me well with plenty of room to move in the seat/thighs without being overly baggy. The gi looks sharp and is comfortable. There's loose threads on the inside stitching, but for $130 I'm not going to take off a star for that. I anticipate it being a long lasting product, as was my last Hyabusa gi.

Researched gi's and decided on this one. I'm 6'1" and 80kg so decided on A2 according to the size guide, it fits great so far. Lighter than my big standard hi and tatami estillo 6.

lovely fit

Feels like this will last for ever. Slightly larger than I expected

Very good and lightweight. Seems durable and precision work.

The GI is very lightweight and comfortable to wear. It looks durable but time will tell. The Collar and sleeves look and feel very rugged looking. The GI looks great also. I think the sizing is slightly smaller than other GI's so be aware of that but generally this seems like a great purchase. Shipping was ultra fast.
