"I bought a fuji cool max through my school and I love that one"
"My rec as always tho is Fuji. They are the gold standard you cannot go wrong with."
"I would go fuji or flow."
"Fuji's are durable as hell, they're like the default."
"Fuji A2H, I’m 5’10/240"
"I just got a Fuji Suparito and was pleasantly surprised that it is more generous cut around the belly than other Fuji gis I"
"I second Fuji. I don't think I'll ever dare to buy another brand. They're that damn good."
"Fuji, hands down. Affordable, good fit (YMMV), don't shrink even after hundreds of hot wash/tumble dries, and they last forever."
"I’ll definitely do the Fuji."
"I purchased a Fuji brand BJJ Gi and was very impressed by the fit and durability."

Origin
4.4

"Origin Gis haven’t really went downhill in my opinion and they are thick but lightweight."
"I went all in on origin and don’t regret it a bit."
"Tbh you made me want to get an Origin over that Isami Tora. Having all the fabric come from the US is pretty important to me right now."
"They are literally like pajamas, they are the most comfortable gi’s ever."
"Origin Rift! Or Path! Soft as hell, if hell were soft."
"Love my Origin (from Maine)."
"The top feels like pajamas... so ridiculously soft and pliable. And even though it feels extremely comfortable, it's still strong and really well made."
"Origin and Atama are the only gis I use nowadays and imo the best"
"My Origin gis feel significantly different, much lighter and less stiff than the others."

"For good budget gis, Sanabul, 93Brand, and Fuji are my go to recommendations."
"I have worn a sanabul but it's heavy AF."
