I need some advice! I'm about 5'1, 98-100 lbs and dying for a better fitting gi. I have 2 adidas gi's that don't fit me well at all. I'm really small all over so I'm wondering if I should just get a kid's gi. How do they fit?
I'm considering the keiko with the pink trim or a vulkan.
Thanks!

Hi Florida and Jana -
While I do not have any experience in the area of kids-sized gis, I know someone who does! I suggest you head on over to http://georgetteoden.blogspot.com/ and talk to Georgette about her experiences ;)
Tchao!

I would like to share my thoughts...
I'm 5'9'' and have around 175 lbs.
I have two adidas gis:
1. Adidas judo contest 180cm - I feel very comfortable in this gi. Pants are roomy and long enough, and the jacket is great. The cut isn't the nicest, but I wore it and washed it in hot water (90°C) constatly for 2 years and I still wear it ;-)
2. Adidas jiu-jitsu contest 180cm - This gi has nicely cut pants, but in my opinion they are a bit short. The jacket is quite big and roomy. I have it only for several months now, but I believe it's great quality.
I've also tried Keiko gis - both male and female versions - and I simply couldn't find the right size for me. I fit in A1 jacket, but A1 pants are too short and too tight. A2 pants are the right size for me, but A2 jacket is way too big...
The bigest female size - M4: jacket is ok size, but the pants were too small to even try them. And I'm bigger in waitst-up area ;-)

I really like your entry... I too have had issues finding a gi as a 5'4" woman, so it's good to get feedback on various gi makers from a woman's point of view. Here's my two cents on the kinds I own:
I have an Adidas women's judo gi that I really like, but it has the typical judo shorter pants and sleeves, the only draw back, other than the fact that the black and white stripes on the shoulders of the kimono tend to wear down more quickly than the rest of the garment.
I also have a Gameness Pearl men's gi in size A1 (they don't make women's) and although I LOVE the construction, specially the round waist ties on the pants, they do NOT work well for women because the pants don't have enough rise in the back (in other words they come up WAY too short and look like you are trying the low-rider jeans look in a gi!). I have to use a pair of gi pants of my husband's that shrank to much for him with the kimono and the pants sit useless in my closet. The kimono is ALMOST too big, so going up a size to get bigger pants isn't an option either. They don't do mix and match sizing. I will note that every guy I know with a Gameness Pearl LOVES the gi, but they don't fit any woman I know because of the pants.
