Need Help in Picking First Gi

[Christopher Rio]

Hi guys. I'm new to the forum, and I started BJJ a little over a month ago, and I'm ready to get my first gi. I'm 5'9 and walk around at 174-175. Any suggestions on what I should get? Also I'm kind of on a budget and am willing to pick up anything under $200. Thanks so much for your help

This is really an open ended question. Plus with your limit of $200 you can pretty much pick-up almost any Gi. Do a search and a bunch of reading and you should be able to get a good amount of pros & cons on almost every brand. Keep in mind there is no perfect Gi. It is different for everyone. Just keep it to the popular brands.

I don't much about gi's (I'm a kickboxing guy), but I'm pretty sure that for under $200 you can pick up almost any gi you want....

I'm a muay thai guy myself, but its the differnt sizing and feedback from other people on the foum about gi sizes, shrinkage and other factors that are confusing me. I was looking at the keiko raca ones, but have heard they're good for tall slim players. And others who are short and stocky that say they work well. Not sure what i should get. I checked out the gis on figthersmarket.ca (I live in Canada they got free shiping = cheaper for me haha) and they seem to have good prices, but its the sizes that confuse me. I was alos looking at the vulcan ultra lights and they are priced really well. but they currently don't have any sizes. any suggestions for my height and weight?

Thanks guys for the responses, I ended up getting the Vulkan Ultra Lite.
