Flow Kimonos Alpine Pro 2.0 - Navy Blue



I have bought three of these gi's - one white, one blue, and one navy.

The white and blue ones were normal price and I really like them - they're great summer weight gi's that breathe well.
The navy one was on sale through flow and the sizing was WACK on the pants - it seems like they put it on sale because the quality control was poor. They're legitimately about 2 sized larger than the other pants.

It's now a loaner gi at my gym. I was really disappointed by it and am hesitant to purchase anything by flow again if I'm not able to return it easily (like here on bjjhq).

Buy at your own risk.
Besides that,
Pros: doesn't feel like you're wearing a 20 lb wet towel in the summer
Cons: the white one gets see through when sweaty. the weave is pretty abrasive on the outside, i don't like gripping this gi when I'm training with someone that's wearing it as a loaner

Inverted Gear Ultra Light Pearl Weave Gi - Navy



i have two of these gis (one white one blue) and wear them more often than any other gis i own including 93 brand goose feather, knoxx, flow alpine and pro, hayabusa, and kitsune.

the bags they come with are much nicer than average and i use em for dirty gis. one of the only ones i haven't immediately thrown away

i'm 6'0" 190lbs and a3 fits perfectly. jacket isn't too small, easy movement in arms, drawstring doesn't stretch a ton, pants aren't abnormally weird like some a3's from some brands etc. they're holding up well for having used them about 100 times each. they're soft and breathe well, great for summer

plus i had an issue with an order from inverted about a year ago where they were out of stock or something i bought and they had amazing customer service and were super helpful. great company to support

Kitsune Barrage Gear Bag



I've had this bag for about 2 years

Pros:
- It's tiny and isn't bigger than you need it to be if you just want to take a gi, rash guard, water bottle and mouth guard.
- It has a zipper on the side to grab stuff from the bottom without using the drawstring, which you'll need because the small pocket doesn't fit much.
- It's well built and it's holding up well with a lot of abuse
- Aesthetic

Cons:
- The side pouch thing with a zipper is small. It can fit a mouth guard, but not my mouth guard, wallet, keys and phone. You might care about this or you might not.
- Drawstring occasionally slips out of the cinch thing and it's a giant pita to fix it when it does.
- Its small. Might be what you're looking for, might not be. Won't comfortably fit gi, no gi, and everything else in it. Just the bare necessities

Overall it's a nice small bag. I use it sometimes, but recently I've been using a slightly larger bag more so I can have my mouth guard, keys, phone, wallet, gum and a notebook in the secondary pocket. 🤷🏼?♂

Inverted Gear Leverage Long Sleeve Shirt

Actually agree. I don't like seeing "jiu jitsu" on a shirt 20 times (or honestly even once),
But it would look better if they just had the inverted panda logo on the left breast and that was it

Fuji Suparaito Worldwide Edition BJJ Gi - Navy

@inside dude you gotta let them know like a month ahead of time they have no chill. it's cheaper to order a 12 pack directly though i don't get it

Inverted Gear Ultra Light Pearl Weave Gi - Navy

@Kanto, i wouldn't say i'm long-bodied. a3s from flow are the closest comparison in size i've experienced.


knoxx is a tiny bit bigger, hayabusa about the same as knoxx, and 93 brand and kitsune are significantly bigger and are too large on me even after drying in machine many times on high heat. fuji and shoyoroll tend to fit similar to flow and inverted, but i've only tried those as loaners from gyms when traveling and idk if they were shrunk in dryer or started out that size so can't make real comparison. hope that helps

Manto "Strong Waves" BJJ Gi - Navy

Wait no the v3 one. The v1 wasn't as cool with the predominantly white colorway and the v2 was long sleeve with the torso being blue and the sleeves patterned with waves.

The v3 with all waves was the best one they made, but it would be better if it didn't have the giant light blue block on the chest for their logo, and much better if it was long sleeve.

It was my favorite rashguard until it basically started falling apart and getting that permanent rashguard funk.

Inverted Gear Bamboo BJJ Gi - White

I also disagree with this. Inverted gear ultralights shrink a lot and I would say are one of the smallest gi's I own for their sizing, but the black bamboo I bought about a year and a half ago is still a relatively large a3. Not as big as knoxx, manto, or 93 brand, but still pretty large. I could probably get away with an a2 bamboo while their ultralights a3 fit like a flow a3, which are super small.

I'd say slightly larger than hayabusas, but overall the bamboo ones seem to run on the larger end of the sizing range, and that's with at least 20 washes on hot and dryer cycles on max heat.

Flow Kimonos Alpine Pro 2.0 - Navy Blue

@bjjhq it was the alpine pro 2.2 - different interior design but same gi.

bought in May 2021

I have 4 gi's from them and their sizing tends to run smaller than most brands and be a little inconsistent. i like the gi's i have a lot, but haven't bought anything from them since i got the parachute pants order.
