Size guide
How to choose your Gi size
Our sizing chart gives a general reference, and our Gis are intentionally cut a bit roomier than many other brands to account for the natural shrinkage of cotton after washing.
If I’m at the lower end of a size range
If you prefer a more fitted, athletic look, sizing down is often a good choice.
If you prefer a relaxed fit, stick with the size recommended in the chart.
How much do the VOLT Gis shrink?
On average, you can expect around 5–7% shrinkage, depending on washing and drying. White Gis tend to shrink slightly more, while darker colors usually shrink a bit less.

|---|---|---|
| A0 | 152–163 cm | 50–64 kg |
| A1 | 163–175 cm | 64–75 kg |
| A1L | 175–183 cm | 64–82 kg |
| A2 | 175–183 cm | 75–88 kg |
| A2L | 180–193 cm | 75–95 kg |
| A3 | 180–193 cm | 88–107 kg |
| A4 | 188–196 cm | 102–113 kg |
How to choose your Rashguard size
Our rashguards have a tight, compression-focused fit and tend to run smaller than standard sizing. They are designed to fit snugly against the body, providing support and minimizing excess fabric during training.
If I’m between sizes
If you prefer a strong compression fit, choose your usual size.
If you prefer a slightly more comfortable fit with less compression, we recommend sizing up by one size.
How should a VOLT Rashguard fit?
A rashguard should fit tightly against your body without restricting movement or breathing. Some initial tightness is normal due to the compression fit, but you should still be able to move freely and comfortably throughout your training session.
How to choose your High-Cut Shorts size
Our high-cut shorts feature a deliberately short cut, designed to maximize freedom of movement and minimize fabric during no-gi grappling. They sit higher on the thigh than standard grappling shorts, offering an athletic fit built for dynamic movement.
What if I prefer longer shorts?
If you prefer more thigh coverage or a more traditional fit, keep in mind that our high-cut shorts are shorter than standard grappling shorts. This is an intentional design choice, not a sizing issue.
How should VOLT High-Cut Shorts fit?
The shorts should sit securely around your waist, with the elastic waistband and adjustable drawstrings helping keep them in place during training. The shorter leg length allows unrestricted movement through guard work, scrambles, and transitions.
