Albino & Preto YW Essential Black BJJ Gi

Description

Take a look at the Albino and Preto YW Essential gi, a training gi that pairs a practical cut and materials that handle regular training. Plenty of players at our academy reach for Albino & Preto since the designs break away from the usual training uniforms, and Albino and Preto YW Essential gi proves the point. We cover what it is made of, sizing and washing further down so you can order with confidence, which explains why it is a favourite with our customers.

A Closer Look at the Albino and Preto YW Essential Gi

The gi jacket is made from cotton, so it soaks up sweat instead of turning slick through long drilling blocks. The construction is reinforced, so the knees and seams get extra support, a strength of the YW Essential black gi. We like the black version because it hides wear well after plenty of sessions.

In Training

Positional sparring, hard rounds and slow drilling all test a gi differently, and the YW Essential black gi copes with every one, at home or on the road. From fundamentals to comp training, the YW Essential black gi suits a whole family that trains, and so it quickly becomes a favourite.

Belt rank does not change which gi you can wear; pick the one that feels right and suits your training. The collar, sleeve length and the pants decide how much grip your partner gets; here they are tuned for regular training.

The skirt and side vents see heavy use during guard work, and reinforcement there makes a difference. Hobbyists benefit just as much, since a well-made gi keeps every session more enjoyable.

A good gi needs to feel firm at the lapel yet comfortable enough to wear for a full class, and Albino and Preto YW Essential gi gets that balance right. Team patches can be sewn on if your gym uses them, so the YW Essential black gi adapts to any team look.

Choosing Your Albino and Preto YW Essential Gi Size

Albino and Preto YW Essential gi is stocked in 22 sizes, namely M00, M0, M1, M2, M3, A00F, A0F, A1F, A2F, A0, A0H, A1, A1H, A1L, A2, A2H, A2L, A3, A3H, A3L, A4 and A5, which covers children, women and adults. For children, start with the M sizes of the YW Essential black gi; adults will want the A sizes, and the letter variants are set out in the size guide on this page.

Your height normally decides the length, and weight decides how roomy the jacket feels and use both in the size guide. Most of our customers order their usual gi size; if you like a roomier jacket, size up for the YW Essential black gi.

Aftercare

Chlorine bleach eats into fabric quickly, so it is best avoided even for stains. Keep it somewhere dry after it has aired properly, away from heat if you train most days. Mat grime and skin oils build up quickly and a wash after every session keeps things fair for the people you roll with.
