Icon10 5'10" 208lbs, Koral, Gameness, Keiko?

I made a post the other day, but probably made it too complicated for a response.

I am female, 5'10", now 208lbs. I fit a Fuji A3 top and A4 pants. My A4 top has become too big, and now interferes with my rolling. I am looking for a new blue lightweight gi. (Or a not-so warm standard gi. Actual weight isn't my concern.) I am losing my mind trying to pick out a new gi and have read so many reviews they are blurring together.

Can you give me a recommendation on a brand and a size to try? I believe a brand/model with extra roomy pants would be my best bet. Koral, Gameness, Keiko, Other?

Thanks in advance!

A2 Keiko would be good.

Thank you! An A2, even though their chart says 5'9" up to 187lbs?

A2 would be way too small. A3 if you're 208lbs of muscle, A4 if you're 208lbs of lard.

Everyone is made up of musculoskeletal and lipids.

Isn't Shoyoroll good for everyone since they are shrink to fit? - E

Some people are more "lipidic" than others.

I think eventually I will try a Shoyoroll. I have to wait for one to be released that I like, and then I'll have to pounce on it!
