Fit and sizing

This particular batch has greater deviations in wingspan and pant length than expected. If you are in the middle of your size and usually have some room for shrinkage, we recommend going at least half a size up. If you are at the top of your size, we recommend going a full size up: A0 or A0L to A1, A1S or A1 to A2, A1L or A2 to A2L, A2 or A2L to A3, A3 or A3L to A4. Our gis are not pre-shrunk, so if you have 1 to 2 inches of room in your wingspan you can shrink it by washing hot and drying; otherwise wash cold and hang dry. We highly recommend checking our size chart to make sure you order the correct size. See our gi care guide.

Which Hyperfly gi should I choose?

This is a collector's edition NBA + HYPERFLY Katakana gi. If you plan to compete under IBJJF rules, choose a competition gi instead. See all of our IBJJF legal gis, or compare every model in our gi model guide.

Nice embroidery but that's about it

When the product arrived, the inside of the gi was filled with loose threads and unfinished seams which started to unravel after the first training session and machine wash. Both the gi and the gi bag had an awful smell which hasn't gone away after few washes and airing them at the balcony for long periods of time. The gi bag had a lot of fabric without seams that have been fraying badly. The prints of the gi bag and the inside of the gi have been peeling even after the first gentle machine wash. The contrast stiching of the lapel has also started to unravel. Considering the price tag and the high expectations towards the brand, the end result have been a huge disappoinment to me. The embroidery looks amazing but if I would have the chance to make the decision again, I wouldn't buy this product even with a discount.
