Pacific Sports compression wear fits tightly to the body, almost like a second skin. It compresses the surface of the skin and thereby exerts a surface pressure on the body part where it is worn.

Outstanding Benefits of Pacific Sports compression garments
Pacific Sports compression garments are sold globally and are worn by elite marital artists and athletes all around the world.
Prevents injuries
An injury can take away from few days to several months of practice. However, injuries in martial arts do happen and therefore, preventing injuries is recommended so that your practice can continue without any interruption. A compression wear like a rash guard or a compression shirt, can act like a second skin and prohibit direct skin exposure. Due to this, it can help to prevent rashes, bruises, scrapes, abrasions, cuts and wounds.
Prevents infections
If the training partner has some skin infection, or if the Gi is not washed, or if the mat is not cleaned, then chances of transferring bacteria, viruses and fungus increase greatly. In grappling martial arts like Judo and Jiu-Jitsu, where a lot of clinching and rolling on the mats is done, touching the skin or the Gi of the training partner is inevitable. With a rash guard or compression wear, direct skin exposure if minimized, which helps in preventing infections. Wearing a rash guard on top and full spats below, greatly limits the skin coming in contact with the training partner’s skin, sweat and clothes. Less exposure of the skin results in less chances of infections.
Improves blood circulation
A compression wear fits snugly and keeps the body warm, which improves the circulation of blood. With improved circulation, muscle fatigue, muscle strains, and muscle pulls are greatly minimized. The swelling in any injured area is also limited due to the compression, which contributes in faster recovery.
Enables safer practice
https://pacificsports.com.au/shop/With prevention of injuries and infections, a compression wear can enable you to practice safely. Sweat is effectively wicked away, and protection from mat burns, dust, dirt, bacteria, or fungus is avoided. It also stays in place, even while performing intricate grappling movements.
Comfortable, Durable, Easy maintenance
With sweat being wicked away, the body remains cool and non-sweaty. This allows you to focus more on your martial art instead of worrying about the sweat, humidity and heat. Since spandex is very stretchable, exercises to increase the range of motion like high kicks, acrobatics, and stretching routines can be comfortably performed. Polyester and nylon as well as spandex are such fibers that they last a very long time. The durability of these fabrics guarantee that they will not tear under pressure and can be used for years and years. You can either handwash them or machine-wash in normal cold water. After every training session, they should be washed so that they remain clean and hygienic. Washing instructions are given on the label, which if followed increases the durability of the fabric and also keeps it well- maintained.
