Overheating in BJJ: Need a different gi? Rashguard?

$

Hey y'all!

Despite drinking a lot of water throughout my training sessions, I find myself overheating after a while (especially when rolling).

A typical training evening for me would be one hour of standup / striking and then one hour of BJJ. I feel okay during the first hour (wearing shorts and a t-shirt) but, during the second hour (BJJ), I feel like I'm in an oven when things start getting a bit more intense. It gets so hot that I wind up getting light-headed and, after the session, I feel a bit nauseous.

I have a gold weave gi made by Gorilla Fight Gear. Some friends have recommended that I get a single weave or summer weave gi instead but, before I spend any money, I'd like to know if you guys think it would make a noticeable difference. Underneath my gi, I usually wear dry fit shirt. Would switching to a rashguard or cotton t-shirt instead make a big difference?

Thanks for the help!
