You know who you are. I don't tell you what you should be wearing you shouldn't be telling another grown man either. Sorry. Had to vent some where.

For everyone complaining about the price, Prana sells at the same. At least SYR actually sells out in their presales

Atama's new light weight is $210

Bull terriers mushin summer weave is $199

Ctrl ground squad pearl is $169

Gameness xt pearl is $178

Koral mkm $199

Keiko le $179

Lucky gi Diaz $250

Gracie barra legacy $189

Scramble wave $220

Tatami spirit of Japan $189

Vulkan pro lite $179

All these gi's are some type of light weight weave. Except mayb for the lucky. So 175-180 for a shoyoroll pearl with 5 woven patches is actually very much competitively priced. I don't know how you can claim otherwise.

anyone here wearing an A0? Do you think a guy 5'6 and 145lbs would fit better in an A0 or A1?

A1, imo. Truly depends on how you wear those 145 lbs. though, but not really. I think that is an A1 and not an A0, but that is just me. YMMV. - E

for 5'6 I would DEFINITELY say the A1. And not even just for the weight. The A0 stops at 5'4 and that means the a0 would likely be an inch or two short on each of your arms.

Well, we don't know how long his limbs are. He might be short-limbed, average-limbed, or long-limbed, or extremely short-limbed/extremely long-limbed. All things we don't know. We have known unknowns which makes a huge difference. But A1 is what I would (and have) said. But it is not as definite as the sun will rise and set today. - E

Thanks for the feedback guys.
I always get a size A1 in my other gis (Bull Terrier, Atama, Koral and Vulkan). Im hoping to get this gi (my 1st shoyoroll if ever). Ive been reading stories that Shoyoroll runs a bit bigger compared to other brands and that they suggest to go down one size. Thats why its very confusing.
