I think it just surprises me, because most of the gi companies, that have gi's cut for women, go to AT LEAST 5'9", 170lbs. SYR is leaving out 2-3 women's weight classes.

On a side note, used Fifty/50 gi on eBay currently at $520.

Pulled the trigger and bought 2 in different sizes to see which one I want to keep.
Here we are, 20 minutes later, and all sizes seem to be in stock on budo and the SYR store, so it doesn't look to be that crazy of a demand. Either that, or SYR made a huge amount of them.

I was very tempted to buy two sizes, as well. I would have either tried to sell the A3 top alone, or sold an A3top/A2 bottom as set. I chickened out, though. LOL I figured selling a "girly" gi in A3 could be difficult.

why not just grab a gi from a company that sells split sizes?

I am thinking about trying Killer Bee when they do their next custom orders.  That was also a factor in my decision to only buy the A2. I will eventually fit the A2 if the pants don't fit immediately.

Looks like budo still has a virtually full stock. Surprised this didn't get more attention, if not for the charity work alone.

Howard Kombat Kimonos does split sizes.

Yeah, guess there's no love for this colorway, charity or not.
Also Budo had A1, A2, and A3 of the Goldstar in stock too earlier(now just A3's).
Looks like these 2 batches just aren't popular...SYR might be losing a little steam with all this "limited" batches.
