About The Silverback #5
Medium Weight Pearl Weave Jiu-Jitsu Gi
Hey, my fellow primates.
Here we are again looking at a new batch of our Silverback line of Jiu-Jitsu Gis. We got rid of the full-length rashguard liner from the previous batch due to feedback from customers about how hot the Gi would get. The full-length rashguard liner made it hard for the Gis to breathe, so in the end, it was less comfortable. Instead, we put a Dri-Fit liner covering your shoulders, upper back, and chest to keep things cool and comfortable.
Silverback’s
Unique Features
Here is a small list of some of the features that make the Silverback Pearl Weave Jiu-Jitsu Gi special.
Preshrunk
The Pearl Weave fabric has been processed in a way that will minimize shrinkage. However, expect 5-8% shrinkage on the length of the fabric over time.
Slick BRANDING
This Gi has one large gorilla logo on the chest, which is easily removed, and a sublimated gorilla face inside the Dri-Fit liner.
Drys Quickly
This Pearl weave will dry quickly, even with its 1.2cm thick EVA lapel.
Durability
At Gorilla, we make sure the gussets and the levels are made from the same jacket taking durability to another level. This Gi was made from a heavier Pearl weave fabric 50gsm heavier than standard on the market.
All THE SPECS
The Nerdy Details of the Silverback Pearl weave Jiu-Jitsu Gi
THE JACKET
- 500 Gram Pearl Weave middleweight fabric.
- Pre-shrunk fabric, only 0-1% on width and 5-8% on length for shrinkage.
- 1.25cm thick rubber lapel, which is heavy but still quick drying.
- Pearl weave fabric on the lapel, meaning the lapel should never rip from savages constantly trying to choke you out.
- The Dri-Fit inner liner only covers the shoulders to provide extra comfort.
- Made from one-piece fabric, so fewer seams mean fewer weak links.
- Sleeves are made a bit longer, so you’ll never have to replace your Gi over the years because of shrinkage.
- All stress points are reinforced.
- All seams are triple stitched.
THE Pants
- 280 Gram Ripstop Weave fabric is super lightweight and comfortable.
- Triple shrunk fabric much less shrinkage.
- A thick rope with an elastic waistband for easy, hassle-free usage.
- Lycra weave fabric gusset for better flexibility.
- Made with no outside seam meaning fewer weak links.
- All stress points are reinforced.
- All seams are triple stitched.

My excitement turns s to disappointment, the dry weave lining covers so little It is nothing more than a decorative patch. I hadn’t realized you had totally eliminated it.
Dri-Fit inner liner that only covers upper body to provide extra comfort
Unless you meant top of the shoulders when it said “upper body” I would recommend removing all mention of the liner, other than saying it has been removed.
This is my third silverback and looks awesome from the outside, but doesn’t have the same functionality.
I get why you did it, when I first got my Gi it took a bit to get used to the heat and the old liner was more Lycra than dry weave making removing the Gi a struggle at times.

Thanks, great Gi it is my 4th Silverback gi from you guys, and it fits great. I’m 5’10 300lbs and I love the B4XL size

So I’ve had a chance to roll in my new Gi a few times and I love it, the quality and build of the Gi is amazing and even after its wash and dry it still fits. Thats a small miracle in and of itself as I’m 5’11 and 245pounds finding a Gi that fits my belly can be a challenge. The pants were a little large just as a result of my odd body proportions and not a fault of the company or the manufacture. I would suggest that if your like me(long torso, big belly, thinner legs) that you look at pants one size down from the top.
The construction of the Gi is awesome, the material is light enough that I don’t feel smothered by it when I get wrapped up in it and hardy enough that I haven’t seen even a thread out of place yet. Don’t know what else to say about it. Get one.
Now for the real reason I’m writing this review, the customer service is top notch. I made my order and they didn’t have what I ordered in stock. Mike got in touch with me letting me know the situation and where other companies would have simply told me of the back order Gorillagear upgraded me, then upgraded my shipping to make up for the time we spent emailing back and forth. Freaking top notch service! Then imagine my surprise when my package contained and extra set of pants no extra charge. This is beyond customer service, its amazing!
I dont know what bigger compliment I can give than to say that I will definitely be buying another Gi from them and soon and I recommend anyone looking for a Gi to check them out.

Super fast getting the shipment out, had a small issue with my order that was nobody’s fault but the customer service I received to fix the situation was awesome. I’ll definitely be back for more GorillaGear
Jesse (verified owner) –
Absolutely amazing. I have already told my Larger friends, about your company.
Thank you for making bigger sizes for gorillas like us. I will be placing more orders for items like Patches for my new gi and get some of your t shirts.

This was my first Gi from GFG. Fit is superb – I’m 5’10" 285lbs. Shipping was incredibly fast.
The pearl weave jacket feels great for me and multiple folks have mentioned the material is good for grabbing.
My only complaint is the seam at the crotch right above the lyrca ripped day 1. There must have been some seam slippage the moment it was stressed and it did not hold up. Both sets of triple stitched steams popped.
