Look no further than the Sanabul Essential. This gi exceeded my expectations in every way, becoming my go-to choice despite originally buying it as a backup.Bang for Your Buck:I was initially drawn to the Sanabul Essential's budget-friendly price point, unsure if it could compete with my usual high-end brands. Boy, was I wrong! This gi punches way above its weight, offering exceptional quality for the cost. It's quickly become my everyday training companion, leaving those pricier options gathering dust.Built to Last:I'm not gentle with my gear, and the Sanabul Essential takes it all in stride. I chuck it in the washing machine (hot water, no problem!) and dry it on high heat without hesitation. The minimal shrinkage, even after four washes per week, is truly impressive. The sturdy stitching and reinforced seams also instill confidence, knowing this gi can handle the roughest training sessions.Comfort is King:The Sanabul Essential fits like a glove (well, a comfy, breathable glove!). The cut sits perfectly on my hips, eliminating annoying bunching and riding up during rolls. The reinforced crotch adds another layer of comfort and durability, making those intense guard battles a breeze.Final Verdict:Honestly, I'm still surprised by how well the Sanabul Essential performs for half the price of some of the big names. It's durable, comfortable, and looks great – all the essentials for a fantastic gi. If you're a budget-conscious grappler or simply looking for a solid all-around gi, I highly recommend giving this one a try. You might just be as pleasantly surprised as I was. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What an amazing Sanabul product! Quality construction, affordable price point, durable, and elegant! *by on Reviewed in the United States November 5, 2017* This is a quality grade gi and worth the cost. Ordered as a spare gi, the package arrived in a swift manner and was packed in a protective manner. The fabric is finely woven and holds up well both in the wash and in performance. Advertised as "pre shrunk", the material fit well, was light weight, and retained it's superior dye during the wash. I mention dye retention because there are other gis on the market that fade quickly. You will not encounter this problem with this particular fabric. Also, this gi does run larger than other brands as the seller advertised but maintains adequate fitting both prior to and after training.The appearance of this gi is exceptional and represents true form of a professional grade training product. Billed as affordable and of quality construction, their gis are vividly noticeable in the dojo/gym. The embroidered logo is subtle yet eye catching and the stitching around the hem lines and inseam is durable. The collar is sturdy but flexible enough to grip and maneuver without detracting training form by the attack of the collar strength. I have compared other gis in the dojo and students mention the Sanabul collar as being one of the most effortless collars to grip during instruction.Comparing my 210 lbs and 5'8" stature, the A3 chart recommendations were spot on. Those of you that comment on a lengthy arm/leg length can rest assured that if you roll and "tack sew", the fabric will remain flexible throughout both the wash and training. An asset to the construction of this gi asserts a lightweight frame, durable seam lines, exemplary fabric dye and weave, and stylish presentation.I fully endorse this gi to anyone on the training spectrum as the performance will enhance your presence during training and competition. I also urge you to peruse Sanabul's line of other products as their inventory is impressive to athletes in a variety of settings.Note: I have not been compensated by Sanabul in exchange for this review. My review is unsolicited and my gi purchased was solely of my own decision/research process. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Gi to start your BJJ journey. Sturdy but thin, and very comfortable. *by on Reviewed in the United States September 12, 2017* If you are new to the BJJ world you have found the Gi you been searching for in terms of price, quality, and style. (As of 9/11/2017) The only other Gi you might want to consider at this point is probably the Elite Sports Gi which is also in this price range. Which I'm going to go over the pros for both later in this review.Now this is my 2nd and 3rd Gi. My professor was quite shocked when I informed him just how affordable these Gis are. He approved them and feels they are quality Gis. He also approved the Elite Sports Gi as well.With that being said I lean slightly towards the Sanabul brand just because it's cheaper. However, Elite sports brand has its advantage as well.Pros of Elite Sports- The Elite sports definitely has better stitching, which probably means it's going to last you longer.- Thicker, more sturdier material, which probably means again it's going to last you longer.- It has more branding from Elite Sport to make it look slightly cooler? This is also a two edge sword because if you like the clean look than the Sanabul is going to be your preference.Pros of Sanabul which is the Gi you are looking at right now- Amazon prime + $4 cheaper if you get the white. That's like $14 saving.- Thinner, and has a breathable crotch area. <-- I could be wrong here but the material at this area does feel more breathable. I live in California so this Gi feels much better during the summer than the Elite Sports one.- Light but studry. So far I been using them for two weeks, training 6 times a week. So far so good! (I'm a white belt so I'm extremely aggressive vs higher belts since that's my only advantage. So I get my a$$ flipped around, twisted, splatted, you name it. I can safely say they are holding up well in extreme conditions. LOL)- Clean look, perfect for your school's patches. :)So in short if you are comparing the two Gis. I'd take Sanabul over the Elite Sports. However, if you are looking for a thicker, sturdier Gi Elite Sports might be a good choice as well. Once again Sanabul is a good quality Gi with enough thickness. However, Elite Sports is just a thicker Gi.Good luck on your BJJ journey, and congrats on finding the perfect Gi to start that journey.Oh yeah btw I'm 5'11, slightly broad shoulder, 210lbs. A3 is perfect after "Hot Wash". It's quite a bit bigger if I don't wash it. A2 size would definitely run small for me.Best wishes. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sanabul Essential BJJ Gi for Men Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Gi Lightweight Preshrunk Fabric for Jiu-Jitsu Training & Competition - Elite Sports BJJ GI for Men IBJJF Kimono BJJ Jiujitsu GIS W/Preshrunk Fabric & Free Belt (See Special Sizing Guide) - BJJ Shorts for Men – MMA Fight Shorts, No Gi, Jiu Jitsu, Grappling, Boxing, Kickboxing, Cage Fighting, UFC Training Shorts --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/79550337-sanabul-essential-bjj-gi-for-men-brazilian-jiu-jitsu-gi](https://www.desertcart.us/products/79550337-sanabul-essential-bjj-gi-for-men-brazilian-jiu-jitsu-gi) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-25*
