In this article, we explain how to recognize a good rashguard, which materials to choose, how to find the right size, and above all where to buy your rashguards!

Understanding What Makes a Good Rashguard

Below, we'll cover the most important information to help you distinguish between good and bad rashguards, helping you avoid poor-quality products. However, if you'd like to know how to choose the right type of rashguard for you, we recommend checking out our article 👉 How to Choose a Rashguard .

In your search for Jiu Jitsu or MMA training gear, you've probably noticed that there are a ton of companies offering rashguards. Among them, you'll notice a variety of cuts, types of materials, designs, and more.

But concretely, what is really important to have a quality rashguard for Jiu Jitsu or MMA? These two criteria:

The cut of the rashguard

The fit of your rashguard is one of the most important factors affecting your comfort inside the rashguard. Unfortunately, it's one of the most difficult to determine initially.

Many rashguards can have a poor fit and cause discomfort because the fabric is too tight around the neck or armpits. This is something to keep in mind because when rolling on the mat, you need to be 100% comfortable in your rashguard.

At Solar, we have adopted a cut that leaves enough room for the neck and nape of the neck so as not to have any discomfort there and we have adopted a cut that is a little looser at the armpits so as not to have any discomfort, but to keep a rashguard molded to the body.

The materials used to create the rashguard

The materials used are also very important, as they play a crucial role in the rashguard's durability and moisture-wicking ability. Not just any material is used to make a rashguard, as your rashguard will be used in very harsh conditions for fabric.

A quality rashguard is designed with technical materials. It must offer good breathability, effective sweat wicking, and high resistance to friction.

A blend of polyester and elastane is therefore recommended to ensure that the fabric slides well and resists friction. It must also be soft and elastic enough to fit your body while remaining flexible for your different movements.

Materials to look for in a good rashguard

Polyester for the quality of the rashguard

Polyester is the base material for most rashguards. It's lightweight, durable, and quick-drying, making it ideal for intense workouts.

Polyester also helps quickly wick away moisture, keeping you cool during your workouts. Having a moisture-wicking fabric means your rashguard is less likely to develop unpleasant odors.

Spandex for rashguard flexibility

The addition of elastane (or spandex) gives the rashguard a second-skin feel. This material provides the elasticity needed to follow your movements without losing its shape. It's the essential ingredient for a comfortable, flexible, and durable rashguard.

Flatlock seams for strong seams

When searching for rashguards, look for products made with flatlock seams. These seams are the highest standard in the combat sportswear industry. These seams are specifically designed to withstand high stress, twisting, and abrasion, resulting in a more durable rashguard.

Not all rashguards have this type of seam and be careful in your selection, because when a rashguard rips, it is often at the seam first.

That's why at Solar, we've adopted this type of seam for all our rashguards, as well as all our grappling shorts and MMA shorts. It's the highest standard, so you can be sure your gear is specifically made to withstand the toughest demands of your sport.

(Optional) Silicon Grip for an even stronger hold

The Silicon Grip is an optional extra, and not everyone likes this material. But if you're one of those who do, then consider it!

Silicon Grip is a small silicone strip inside the rashguard that helps it adhere better to your skin and prevents the rashguard from moving and riding up during your workouts. Many workout clothes have this type of silicone strip. Quality combat sports clothing will regularly have Silicon Grip inside. Whether it's for a rashguard or shorts.

This is the case for our MMA shorts as well as our Topographic Turquoise rashguard model. You will find an internal silicone band to ensure great stability during your workouts.

Find the perfect size for you

A rashguard that's too tight can restrict your movement and be very uncomfortable. If it's too loose, it'll become awkward on the mat, and your opponents could get caught in your rashguard.

To ensure you make the right choice, consult a size guide and take the time to measure your size if you're unsure. Some stores, like Solar, offer free returns and exchanges, while others don't.

The advantage is that you can easily try on the rashguards and see them in real life! You can also have them in your hands right when you leave the store!

Make a strategic purchase

Have more than one rashguard

If you train multiple times a week, having more than one is essential . This allows you to alternate and maintain the quality of each one. Plus, your training partners will appreciate having a fresh rashguard for every workout!

Take the matching shorts

For a cohesive look and maximum freedom of movement, consider also getting the matching grappling shorts . It's a smart long-term investment.

Rashguards are essential training gear, and so are shorts. Also, make sure you have grappling shorts or MMA shorts. Many people wear generic gym shorts that may have pockets or zippers. Avoid these at all costs; they're extremely dangerous for you and your opponents. An opponent can get caught in your pockets, and a zipper can easily injure or cut an opponent.

Choose shorts specifically designed for grappling or MMA. They'll be more comfortable and durable.
