I'm 5' 6" (66 inches) and about 170 lbs. I tried on an A3 at my BJJ class tonight, but from the reviews, I'm thinking I'll need an A2. Anyone know?

I'd say A2. I'm 5'7 160lb and whether it's Adidas/Mizuno/Fuji gi, I wear A2... depends how long you want the sleeves/cuffs go though. I prefer shorter sleeves/cuffs so I usually get the pants hemmed..

Look at the size chart and go by that. You can shrink them some. I am 6'2" 195 and an A4 fits well so A3 may be big? Also take into consideration if you tried on a brand new one or one that has been worn. It it has been worn and washed it will have already shrank some. Additionally most students will shrink in the dryer during their first wash to get the size right. Good luck

I'm 5'9" at 150lbs. Based on the length you would need A2. My gi did not shrink too much. YMMV.

I'm about the same size as you and have been using the A3 for a few months now, depends on how you like the it to fit, definitely fits on the looser side but i'd go with the A3 again.

5 8" and 130 pounds. A2 is just long enough for now but I'll be ordering A3 soon for added length. I don't know what size you should get, but I do know A2 would be too short.

I have this one and I'm 6 ft 145 lbs. With the uniform on. I can put on my LBV and still have wiggle room. Hope this helped.

I'm 5'6" 150# female. At an Xmas party last wend some one commented on my "guns". I have a muscular build w larger arms (and thighs)that usually are an issue in a junior med shirt. I wear a med in these & love them.

Absolutely! I'm the same height as you only a few more pounds and the holster fits like a dream. The extra mag pouches help balance it out to where you don't even know you have it on. I couldn't have been happier for the purchase of this quality shoulder holster. Get it!....Best to you Brian

I have tried it for abs, but I really didn't like the pressure it put on my legs. I think the leg pads are set back a little too far. I'm 5'11", and it fits me well. At 6'2", I would imagine it would still fit you. I'm no where close to feeling like I am hanging off of it.

A2 should be the right size. A3 legs may be too long...you could always wash with hot water and put it in the dryer to shrink it down.

Hi there Talise, I found the quality of the gi excellent, but they actually run a bit bigger. I ordered a "4" and it feels like a "5"..hope that helps and enjoy your training:)

Your best bet would probably be to contact CFF and ask them to be sure, but I think it should work fine for you. I weighed about 275 when I first got mine and I had no issues with it. I'm now down to 210 and still use it faithfully. My son (6'5" 220) is a junior in college, and he has used it without issue as well.

When I got mine I was 275 at 5'8" I got the A5 and just had the pants taken up, it's a little big but an A4 should work

I am 5'9 and 195 lb, also fairly muscular. I bought the 5 black and it was a bit big. I used it for a year and it was very good but big. I think #4 will be good for you, it is decent quality, one of the g's ripped during a JJitsu practice. But the guy I was fighting was a beast, so I still think the quality is decent for everyday practice.

I'm looking for an answer to this as well. I'm 5'10" and 185lb. Most of the people answering questions here are in the 170lb range. I have a Fuji gi and the A4 top fits just right, but the A4 pants are kind of loose. Everyone here seems to think the pants run large, so what I would really like is to get an A4 top and, maybe, A3 pants. I wonder if anyone sells like that.

I bought the A3, it weighs 3lbs on the dot. I used it to compete in the US Open a couple days ago and it's definitely IBJJF approved. Also it's one of the most comfortable Gi's I've ever owned...and I own some really top level Gi's.

Hi Yoon, I purchased the small/medium. I am 5'7" and about 170lbs as well. I have large calves for my size and the leg weights are a little tight going on. The forearm weights are fine. I believe if I had gone for the larger size they would have been too loose for punching drills. I hope this helps you make your decision. -John C.

I used a 15.4 pounder and it was a mistake. Too heavy for this type of workout. I ordered a 10 pound and maybe will order a 7 now that I have read all the above suggestions!

I am 5'-7" and I use A2. Look at different brands and they will show a chart for height and weight. Try Fuji, good quality Gi's that don't shrink

That's 5 Feet and almost 8 inches and about 165lbs. I'm just a little bigger than that. I use an A2 but it's a little big for me. So you could probably go A1, depending on how much you think you might grow. My Gi is shrinking a little after 6 months of weekly use and washings, but it's still big for an A2.
