“I just competed in this gi! The top is extremely soft and comfortable like any high quality gi top should be. The reason the pants fit so well to anyone's hips is because of the elastic in the back. They are slightly thicker than ultralight weight ripstop but so comfortable. I wear an A1L for both the top and bottom -- I'm 5'6'' and weigh 135.”

“I absolutely love this gi! Not any gi brands that i know allow you to order a different sized bottom / top and I’m so grateful for it! The gi fits really nice and is soft and very comfortable. I have already received numerous compliments.definitely recommended! And the artwork is so beautiful!”

“Monterey 14 years old, 8 years’ experience wearing GI’s
5’7 tall 135 lbs. A bit leggy, thin waist
Size Ordered A0L Jacket, A1L Pants.
My daughter has been a fan of Gaidama from her first Avant Garde Spats and Rash Guard. No matter if its school, at the gym or just hanging out around the house she usually has something Gaidama on.
As she has grown and tried many Gi’s she has developed a specific like / dislike list. Since moving to adult sizes, she has been wearing FUJI Sekai, Suparaito, KINGZ Balistico 2, 3 and now 4. The balistico has been the GI she grabs when going to class. Tried the women’s then switched to men’s where long sizes are available.
When the new Gaidama GI dropped, we knew we had to give it a try, but can it live up to the high bar Kendall has set?
Here are our thoughts so far.
Love that you select the jacket and pants sizes separately. We have always had to compromise. Either the jacket was going to be too big or the pants much too short.
First impressions
Monterey loves the bags that both pants and jacket came in. Already one has been repurposed to a quick go bag that she uses at school.
When she pulled the pants out of the bag I did see the frown. She has been a ripstop believer for some time now. Says most cotton pants feel bunched up behind the knee when rolling. As soon as she put them on that frown went away. Loves the high waist, raised back. She could tell right away these were going to stay where they belong, and the cording wasn’t going to dig into her hip bone. Ripstop bullet dodged. On to the jacket.
Love this. The finish, stitching and the tailored fit look is like none we have seen before. Its light and looks like it should hold up well. This jacket really stands out.
Overall super happy with the purchase. Wish I had ordered the A1T pants and probably will soon as we see how much they shrink after a few washes.
Hope to see a blue option in the future as blue is her go to training color and usually tries to keep the white sharp looking for the seminars.
So far, I believe this GI is a big hit and may be her go to. Time will tell.”
“I’ve been searching for the perfect gi for almost 10 years and finally found it! It’s so flattering and comfortable, and the SIZING is *chef’s kiss*.
I have super long legs and a short torso (yay scoliosis), and I’ve always had an issue with gi sizing. Either the pants fit in length but slightly baggy and the top is just way too much material, or the top fits perfect but the pants look like capris. OR both fit almost perfect but after one wash I can’t wear it again. Gaidama’s sizing options were a godsend and BOTH the jacket and pants fit so well. I’m so thankful for the option to buy different sizes. I’ve already trained in the gi and washed it, and there was NO shrinkage.
Gaidama - please give us a black and blue gi so I can buy this in more colors lol”
