Gi Donations

The YCTH. Foundation - Making a difference for people in Brazil, Africa, and here in the United States. While other projects have been underway, we are excited to launch the Hyperfly Donation program here with you!  We are so excited for every Hyperfly item that gets packed up and shipped to our customers all over the world, but we are also very aware of everyone's old gear piling up at home. We knew we had to do something to put that gear to a better use than collecting dust. Any used/retired items that are still in decent shape can allow someone else in the world give it a second life.

 Have some items to donate? Awesome!
We don't want to donate something that has holes or major stains. If you wouldn't give the gi to a friend, someone else may not want it either.For every item you donate, we give you 1000 Flypoints you can redeem for $10 off future orders. If you donate three items, you get 3000 points. These points can be redeemed for $20 off at a time on orders at hyperfly.com. Please make sure all gis are in the following condition:
    • Unpatched
    • No holes or major stains
    • Washed
    • Matching top and bottom
    • Can be any brand
    • Jiu Jitsu Gis Only
Please mail your gi to the address listed on the attachment.

All donations will be inspected within a week of receiving. Please be patient as, some weeks, we receive a lot of donations.

Do I have to pay for shipping? We kindly ask that you take care of shipping the Gis to us. By donating, you are volunteering to support the foundation and the people who benefit from it.

What else can I do?
We are always looking for new opportunities to support other causes in the world. If you or someone you know would like to get involved, please send us an email at ycth@hyperfly.com. We would love to hear from you!

Hyperfly / Sizing

Find your weight band, then your height within it. If you're comparing against a gi you already own, use the garment measurements in the chart — every figure is the gi laid flat, unworn, and unwashed.

Read this before you wash it

Our gis are not pre-shrunk. The measurements below are the gi as it arrives. Wash cold and hang dry and it will stay close to these numbers. Wash warm or put it in the dryer and expect to lose up to 3 inches in the jacket body, sleeves, and pant length.

When in doubt, size up. A gi that arrives slightly big can be washed warm and dried down to fit you. A gi that arrives too small stays too small — there is no way back.

  • Cold wash
  • Hang dry
  • No bleach
  • No fabric softener

Scroll the chart sideways to see every measurement.

How to measure your own gi

Lay the gi flat on the floor, smoothed out, buttons and lapels closed and untwisted.

Measure jacket length from the shoulder seam straight down to the hem.

Measure pant length down the back of the leg, from the top of the waistband to the hem.

Reading the numbers

‡ Flat width across one side. Double it for the full way around.

Short and Long differ from the regular size mostly in the sleeve span and pant length. The jacket body length changes very little.

Allow ±1 in (±2.5 cm) on any measurement. Cotton weave moves, and so do factory tolerances.

Still not sure?

If you land right on the line between two height bands, take the longer one — you can shrink a gi, you can't grow one.

Long arms or legs for your height? Take the L. Sleeves and pants that always need cuffing? Take the S. Your weight band stays the same either way.

Email us your height, weight, and what you're rolling in now, and we'll tell you what we'd send.
