Judo gi compared to Jiujitsu gi?

hey guys...how does a judo gi compare to a jiujitsu gi durability wise? are the collars on judo gi's just as strong? will they hold up in jiujitsu grappling? also what are major differences? any besides the sleeves being baggier? i ask because judo gi's seem to be significantly cheaper and i am on a budget

was considering getting the basic adidus judo club gi

Both are strong. One is more snug fit, the other isn't.

The JJ gi is slimer, shorter skirt, narrower sleeves.

If you want a strong, cheap judo gi I would suggest the Dax Europe over the Adidas club for about the same price. The collar on the Dax Europe is thicker than the adidas and the pants on the Dax are also really good. I have both the adidas club and the dax europe and have used them both for jiu-jitsu and they both work fine. If combat sports still has your size in adidas club, get it. otherwise, get a dax europe from http://www.kodokangear.com/
