Sizing
F2L Gi Size: Height, Weight and Who It Fits
Updated
Short answer: F2L fits 172–180 cm (5'8"–5'11") and 60–72 kg (132–159 lb). It is the Women's Long cut of F2: the women's cut with longer sleeves and longer trousers.
Against a plain F2 it is +10 cm jacket wingspan, +3 cm jacket length, -4 cm jacket chest, +4 cm trouser length. Everything else is identical to F2: trouser waist.

How to know it's you
Same women's cut as F2, with the sleeves and trousers let out. If the F chart has fitted you through the body but left your wrists and ankles exposed, F2L is the fix — and it is a stocked size, not a special order.
Is F2L you?
Two numbers and we’ll tell you straight, including when the answer is a different size.
The finished gi, measured flat
Wingspan is cuff to cuff, jacket length is collar to hem, chest is laid flat. These are the numbers the size is cut to, not an estimate from the chart.
| Measurement | F2L | F2 | F2W | F1L |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jacket wingspan | 156 cm | 146 cm | 146 cm | 146 cm |
| Jacket length | 72 cm | 69 cm | 69 cm | 69 cm |
| Jacket chest | 50 cm | 54 cm | 54 cm | 48 cm |
| Trouser length | 98 cm | 94 cm | 94 cm | 94 cm |
| Trouser waist | 52 cm | 52 cm | 56 cm | 52 cm |
If F2L is not quite it
F1L is the only step available in this cut. If the problem is that one half of you is a different size from the other, order it that way: a jacket in one size and trousers in another is a normal order here. It is the option we ship most after the plain A-sizes, which tells you how many people the standard grid does not fit.
And if no combination on the chart works, custom sizing is $189 and is cut to your measurements.
Is F2L IBJJF legal?
Size has nothing to do with legality, but fit does. The IBJJF measures sleeve and trouser length against your wrist and ankle with the arm extended, and a gi that is too short fails at weigh-in. The full requirements cover colour, fabric and the measurement rules.
