Camo Black BJJ gi, 450 GSM<\/h2>\n

The Camo Black BJJ gi is recognisable by its 450 GSM weave and its camouflage print. It is a heavy gi, built for daily training rather than for travelling light.<\/p>\n

What 450 GSM changes<\/h2>\n

Fabric weight measures the weight of the cloth per square metre. At 450, the jacket holds its shape, and that comes down to three concrete things.<\/p>\n

Grips become harder for your partner to break, and harder for you to set. Thick fabric resists pulling and does not bunch up in the hand as quickly.<\/p>\n

Lifespan goes up. A light weave opens at the armpits and the knees after one intensive season; a heavy weave takes several years at the same pace.<\/p>\n

In exchange, drying takes longer and the bag gets heavier. If you are on the mat every day, a second lighter gi saves you from leaving with a jacket that is still damp.<\/p>\n

A training gi, not a competition gi<\/h2>\n

Let us be clear from the start: the Camo Black is not IBJJF legal. The rules allow three solid colours only, white, royal blue and black, and reject prints outside the approved patch areas. Camouflage does not clear the uniform check, whatever the brand.<\/p>\n

That is a choice, not an oversight. This gi is made for Tuesday night sessions, not for podiums. If you are preparing for a championship, look at our IBJJF gis<\/a> instead. If you want a weave that takes five sessions a week without complaint, you are in the right place.<\/p>\n

Choosing your size<\/h2>\n

Gi sizes follow the A0, A1, A2 system, worked out from your height and your weight. The size finder further down this page gives you a recommendation from those two measurements. Between two sizes, build decides: the smaller one if you are stocky, the larger one if you are lean.<\/p>\n

First wash and care<\/h2>\n

Wash the gi at 30 \u00b0C before you first wear it. Air dry on a hanger, never in a tumble dryer: heat is what causes irreversible shrinkage, not water. Turn the jacket inside out before washing to protect the print, and skip the fabric softener, which clogs the fibres.<\/p>\n

The expected shrinkage after the first washes is given in the specifications below.<\/p>\n

Measurements chart<\/h2>

The measurements below are those of the garment, taken flat and after washing. They let you compare with a gi you already own, which remains the most reliable method.<\/p>

The long cuts, A1L and A2L<\/h3>

They keep a width close to the standard size and lengthen the jacket, the sleeves and the pants. They are made for lean builds, at a comparable weight.<\/p>

For example: at 178 cm and 72 kg, the A1L<\/b> gives 2 cm more jacket and 2.5 cm more pant length than an A1, without widening the chest.<\/p><\/div>

Between two sizes<\/h3>

Take the smaller one if you are stocky, the larger one if you are lean. If your weight exceeds the range for your height, go for the larger size: room across the shoulders matters more than length.<\/p>

Garment measurements taken flat, after washing, with a tolerance of plus or minus 2 cm. The cotton is pre-shrunk, slight shrinkage may appear over the first few washes. Wash at 30 degrees, never tumble dry.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t
