Men’s/Women’s Poly/Spandex Rash Guard Short Sleeves

Description

A rash guard is essential protection for any martial artist involved in grappling. This short sleeve design shields your torso from mat burn and skin infections while giving you full arm mobility for striking techniques.

Protection and Performance

When training in BJJ, MMA, judo, or any grappling art, your skin is constantly in contact with mats and training partners. A rash guard creates a protective barrier that prevents mat burn, skin abrasions, and the transmission of bacteria that cause infections like staph and ringworm.

The short sleeve design is ideal for martial artists who want upper body protection without restricting arm movement. Whether you’re throwing strikes, executing submissions, or drilling takedowns, the sleeves won’t bunch up or restrict your range of motion.

Material and Construction

This rash guard is made from an 85% polyester and 15% spandex blend. The polyester wicks moisture away from your skin, keeping you dry during intense training sessions. The spandex provides stretch and recovery, so the garment maintains its shape even after repeated use and washing.

The moderate compression fit supports your muscles without feeling restrictive. You can breathe comfortably and move freely while benefiting from improved blood circulation and reduced muscle fatigue.

Built to Last

Quality construction ensures this rash guard will handle the demands of regular training:

Flatlock Stitching: The seams are flatlock stitched, which means they lie flat against your skin. This prevents chafing and irritation during long training sessions, even when worn under a gi.

Sublimated Graphics: The red, white, and black design is sublimated directly into the fabric, not printed on the surface. This means the graphics won’t crack, peel, or fade, no matter how many times you wash the garment or how hard you train.

Extended Torso: The slightly elongated design prevents the rash guard from riding up when you’re inverted, scrambling, or working on the ground.

Silicone Waistband: A silicone grip band at the waist keeps the rash guard in place, preventing it from bunching up during dynamic movements.

Versatile Use

While designed for martial arts, this rash guard works for any high-intensity training:

• BJJ (gi or no-gi)
• MMA training and sparring
• Judo and wrestling
• CrossFit and functional fitness
• Running and cycling
• Surfing and water sports

The fabric provides UV protection, making it suitable for outdoor training sessions.

Care and Maintenance

Proper care extends the life of your rash guard and maintains its protective properties:

• Machine wash cold with similar colors
• Hang or lay flat to dry – avoid the dryer as heat damages spandex
• Don’t use bleach or fabric softeners
• Wash after each use to prevent bacteria buildup

Most importantly: don’t leave it balled up in your gym bag. Bacteria multiplies rapidly in damp fabric, which can lead to persistent odors and reduced effectiveness.

Sizing

This rash guard runs true to size with a compression fit. If you’re between sizes or prefer a slightly looser fit, size up.

The compression fit should feel snug but comfortable. You should be able to breathe normally and move through your full range of motion without restriction.
