Over the years, I’ve owned lots of rashguards from various brands. I’ve also rolled with compression shirts from Nike or Underarmour. Rash guards and compression shirts are not the same.  Typical compression shirts are made of 4 panels and are not designed for constant contact. As a result, the movements are restricted, and the shirt is more likely to ride up over your abdominal while rolling. Good rash guards are made from a minimum of 6 panels. The stitching is very durable and is built to resist sleeve pulls and stretching.

The rash guard is a staple in no-gi grappling but it’s benefits of use with the gi is often debated. Someone people feel less restricted without a rash guard, and absolutely refuse to wear one while rolling in the gi. I am of the belief that the benefits of wearing a rash guard whenever you are rolling far out weigh the freedom you feel without it.
There are several reasons why I advocate the use of a rash guard under the gi.

  • Muscle Compression may prevent injury.
  • Reduce the spread of bacteria.
  • Wick away moisture for better grips.
  • Prevents mat burn.

The rashguard top I got felt solid and thick with reinforced seems and was slightly heavier and tougher than my other rashguards. The shorts had a similar design as the rashguard and also a strong silky feel. Both of these products were used 5x times a week during No Gi training. These are for sure products that wil last a very long time.
The design and top quality of the products shows that a lot of thought went into this.
