I own two BreakPoint gis, a Deluxe white in their older cuts and their Ultra light standard gi in their new gi, both A3s.

Bottom line: For the price there are a lot of better Gi cuts out there, however, if you are around 6’0″-6’2″ and 200-215lbs I bet their new A3 gis would fit you perfectly.

Likes:
Construction, these are tough gis with good stitching.
Collar, the collar is thick, sturdy yet somehow comfortable
Shoulder room, the gi doesn’t bunch up around the shoulders and allows for a great amount of arm movement.
Material, it’s a tough gi for your opponents to grip, yet is somehow relatively light and comfortable to wear

Dislikes:
Gi Cut, their old cut suffered from way too much material around the waist resulting in people liking pregnant while rolling. The sleeves and skirt length were very nice attributes but couldn’t make up for the akward fit around the waist. Unfortunately their new cuts only semi-solved the belly problem (they’re still not as slim as I would like them to be) and they also increased the diameter of their gi sleeves as well as the length of the sleeves and skirt. Something I never remembered someone complaining about in the past. They increased the skirt length around 2 inches and at 5’10 195lbs I couldn’t get the A3 to shrink enough to wear I needed it to be and the A2 was just too small to start with.

Pants:
The looping system is weaker than a lot of other gi brands and I broke a loop my first day rolling in my Deluxe. They don’t use the stretchy draw strings either, which is what I personally prefer. The deluxe has always felt like the flat string was knotted inside the waistband from the day I purchased it. The Gi material pants (training pants) are great for drilling in however since they are durable and tough for people to grab. Their original cotton pants ripped at the croch during my first day of rolling.This seems to be an issue they solved with their new version of the cotton pants; however, the new pants feel akward in the crotch area due to the way they have a support triangle sewed into the pants.

Looks:
The design of the gis is really just personal preference but I really liked the way the standard ultra light gi looks, it’s clean and only has small patches midway down the arm and some text on the top of the pants. The Deluxe is a little over the top for me.

Customer Service:

Their customer service never was the greatest either. Asking specific questions like “I have a 44″ chest, what gi sizes can accomodate that?” solicited “you’ll just have to buy multiple gis and find out”. Not knowing the chest size of the gis you produce is not the kind of customer service one would expect from a company.
