Air Pro 3.0 vs Feather 3.0 vs Air 3.0 vs EVREDA
Choosing a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gi isn’t just about appearance—it’s about weight, feel, durability, and purpose. Gameness equips athletes at every level with gis designed for specific training goals.

Use this as a resource when examining the actual GSM (grams per square meter) of each Gameness gi offering. This information will help you choose the gi that fits your training style best. You can find your perfect BJJ gi with this guide from Gameness today!

What does GSM mean?

GSM measures fabric weight per square meter:

Higher GSM = heavier, more durable fabric
Lower GSM = lighter, more performance-oriented fabric
But feel isn’t just GSM—weave, cut, and construction matter too. This guide pairs exact GSM numbers with real-world usage. You likely have a preference about how light or heavy your BJJ uniform is. We want to help you make the best decision!

Jacket: 380 GSM nano pearl weave

The Air Pro 3.0 is the lightest Gameness gi by fabric weight. The Gameness designers created its nano pearl weave jacket and lightweight pants to be light for weigh-ins.
