Choosing the right jiu jitsu gi can feel overwhelming — especially when every gi looks similar at first glance. But the truth is, the cut, weight, fabric, and competition legality can make a huge difference in how a gi feels on the mats.

At Hyperfly, each gi is built with a specific purpose in mind: whether you want something ultra-light for travel, a classic everyday training gi, or a heavyweight competition-ready kimono with serious structure.

This guide breaks down the main Hyperfly gi styles — and helps you figure out which one fits your training, lifestyle, and goals best.

1. Starlyte Gi — The Lightest Gi We Make

If you want the absolute lightest gi possible, the Starlyte is the one.

2. Hyperlyte Gi — The Lightweight Classic

The Hyperlyte is our staple lightweight gi — a true Hyperfly classic and one of the most versatile options we offer.

4. ProComp 4 — Medium-Weight Power and Durability

The ProComp 4 is the heavier, more rugged sibling of the ProComp Lyte.
