I'm deciding between getting the Elite sports gi, the Sanabul gi or the Hyperfly gi. I'm just starting BJJ and I want a descent prize for a good quality brand. Any advice?

Ohh too late, I already ordered the Elite gi am I better off getting the Sanabul instead?I've been training BJJ for 23 years and I mostly just buy whatever brand is most affordable. I'm fond of Sanabul, which seems to fit me particularly well. I haven't noticed a significant difference in the quality between different brands.
Not necessarily. Sanabuls fit me well, but your body proportions probably aren’t the same as mine.Ohh too late, I already ordered the Elite gi am I better off getting the Sanabul instead?
Sounds reasonable. Right now my income isn't that great so a descent price will work best for me. Is the Elite quality almost as good as the Sanabul? They're about the same cost.Not necessarily. Sanabuls fit me well, but your body proportions probably aren’t the same as mine.
Pretty much any BJJ gi will do the job for you. If you stick with training long enough to wear out a few gis, you may find some brands that you prefer. If you have a bunch of disposable income, you might decide to blow some of it on an expensive gi that you think looks particularly stylish. If you’re like me, you can just get a basic economy model that works just as well.
I haven't tried them yet, but they're probably about equivalent to the Sanabul. I might get an Elite next time I buy a new gi, just to compare. They claim that the gi is pre-shrunk, which would be a plus, if accurate.Sounds reasonable. Right now my income isn't that great so a descent price will work best for me.

If you feel like it, report back after you've had the Elite for a while. I was curious about 1) their claims of being pre-shrunk and 2) cotton/polyester blend fabric (most of the gis I've had have been 100% cotton).I just got my second gi in the mail today, and I'm noticing a difference.
I'm starting off "low investment," and then maybe later on moving up to brands like Combat Corner, Origin, etc.
First gi was a Sanabul Core ($79.99 on Amazon). Having nothing to compare it to, it's fine. But then I went cheaper and ordered an Elite ($64.99). The Elite doesn't look like it's gonna last as long as the Sanabul. I really like the ripstop pants on the Sanabul, and the Elite pants are just regular cotton.
As with everything else in life, you get what you pay for.
I've worn it twice, and I always cold wash and hang dry my gis. So I may not be able to attest.If you feel like it, report back after you've had the Elite for a while.
