Elite Sports BJJ Rash Guard<\/strong><\/p>\nHow To Pick The Best BJJ Rash Guard<\/h2>\nMaterial<\/h3>\n
The fabric mix of rash guards plays a significant role in how it feels and how long it lasts. I recommend going for a blend of polyester and spandex or elastane.<\/p>\n
Most good quality rash guards use around 80-85% of polyester, and the percentage determines the exact feel.<\/p>\n
Some, like the 80% polyester and 20% spandex XMartial uses, give excellent durability, but a smaller spandex percentage will provide a cooler feeling, so it’s up to you to find what you like the most. Avoid rash guards with a high nylon percentage, which are generally worse.<\/p>\n
Always look for flatlock stitching as it produces little or no bulging at the seams for the best feeling and is much more durable.<\/p>\n
Sleeve Length<\/h3>\n
Rash guards can have long, short, and no sleeves; the choice is personal. Long sleeves give your skin the maximum protection but are also the hottest and have more friction.<\/p>\n
Most people wear short sleeves because it’s not as warm and reduces arm friction, making it easier to escape certain situations, especially when sweaty.<\/p>\n
Waistband<\/h3>\n
Some brands go the extra mile and put on anti-slipping waistbands, which make a difference. Sometimes the rash guard may ride up during hard rolling, but a good waistband almost completely prevents it.<\/p>\n
Additionally, when a company chooses to put an anti-slip waistband, in most cases, it means the general quality of the product is excellent.<\/p>\n
IBJJF Rules<\/h3>\n
If you compete under the no-gi IBJJF rules, you must follow a strict set of requirements for the clothing you are allowed to wear. Every IBJJF legal rash guard will be clearly marked as such in the product description, so always check that when buying if you plan on using the rash guard in competition.<\/p>\n
Frequently Asked BJJ Rash Guard Questions<\/h2>\n
<\/span><\/p>\nCan You Wear A Rash Guard In BJJ Competition?<\/h3>\n
This entirely depends on the rules of the competition. Under IBJJF no-gi rules, a rash guard is mandatory and must comply with the requirements for material, fit, and color. In gi competition, men are not allowed to wear a rash guard under the jacket, but women can.<\/p>\n
Other no-gi competitions have more liberal attire requirements and can even allow competitors to compete topless. So before entering a competition, always be sure what the rules are.<\/p>\n
Do BJJ Rash Guards Shrink?<\/h3>\n
Rash guards don\u2019t shrink because they are made entirely from artificial fabrics. Natural fabrics like cotton and wool shrink after washing, but artificial ones do not, so you don\u2019t have to worry about your rash guard shrinking after the first wash.<\/p>\n
Can You Put BJJ Rash Guards In The Dryer?<\/h3>\n
In general, it’s not advised to put rash guards in a dryer because the heat may damage the fabrics and reduce their elasticity. Rash guards dry quickly; after all, this is one of their features, and there is usually no need for a dryer in the first place.<\/p>\n
But some people do machine-dry rash guards, and the effect is usually not so bad. That said, it’s always best to follow the washing instructions provided by the rash guard.<\/p>\n
Should A BJJ Rash Guard Be Tight Or Loose?<\/h3>\n
A rash guard should be skin-tight but also comfortable and not suffocatingly tight. One of the benefits of rash guards for grappling is that they are tight and do not roll up or catch limbs and fingers. The IBJJF no-gi rules clearly state a rash guard should be skin-tight.<\/p>\n
Who Makes The Best BJJ Rash Guards?<\/h3>\n
Countless brands are on the market, and having one best is subjective. But our loyalties lie with XMartial because they go the extra mile to put all the high-quality features on their rash guards and offer many designs for every possible taste.<\/p>\n
Does Rash Guard Color Matter?<\/h3>\n
Rash guard color only matters if you want to use it in an IBJJF competition. In this case, the rash guard must be white, black, black, and white and have at least 10% of the rank color of the wearer, but 100% of the rank color is also accepted.<\/p>\n
You can choose whatever color or design you like if you compete in another organization or only use rash guards in training.<\/p>\n

XMartial stole the show in the Rolling Around BJJ best BJJ rash guard list, but many other options are well worth your attention and cash. Beginners have a healthy choice between Revgear and Sanabul, while Hayabusa always offers a top-quality product for those willing to pay for it.<\/p>\n
