F2W Gi Size: Height, Weight and Who It Fits

By All Around3 min readUpdated

Short answer: F2W fits 164–172 cm (5′5″–5′8″) and 68–82 kg (150–181 lb). It is the Women’s Wide cut of F2: the women’s cut with more room through the chest and hips.

Against a plain F2 it is +4 cm trouser waist. Everything else is identical to F2: jacket wingspan, jacket length, jacket chest, trouser length.

Where these sizes start, stop and overlap. Bands that share a weight range but not a height range are the ones people get wrong.

How to know it's you

Same women’s cut as F2, with room added through the chest and hips rather than length. If the jacket has pulled across the back or the trousers have been tight over the hips while the lengths were right, F2W is the one.

Is F2W 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.

If F2W is not quite it

F1W 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. About one gi in ten we shipped between 31 July and 29 September 2026 went out that way, and the mixed-size gi guide shows how to pick the pair.

And if no combination on the chart works, custom sizing is $189 and is cut to your measurements.

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.
