What is a rash guard and why do you need one?
The rash guard originated from surfing, where it served to protect against rashes caused by friction with the board (rash = skin irritation, guard = protection). Today, it is an essential piece of equipment for every MMA, BJJ, Muay Thai fighter, and CrossFit athlete.
Benefits of wearing a rash guard
- Protection against mat-burn — prevents mat burns during grappling.
- Hygienic barrier — reduces the risk of skin infections (staphylococcus, herpes gladiatorum).
- Muscle compression — improves blood circulation and delays fatigue.
- Thermoregulation — wicks sweat away from the body for faster cooling.
- UV protection — UPF 50+ for outdoor training.
Long or short sleeve?
Long sleeve: essential for BJJ, grappling, and no-gi training — protects arms from burns. Also recommended for cold gyms.
Short sleeve: better ventilation — for boxing, Muay Thai, CrossFit, and cardio. More comfortable in hot weather.
How to choose the right size
A rash guard should fit snugly like a second skin — NOT loosely. If it hangs, you lose the compression effect and the fabric can get caught during grappling. Always measure according to the manufacturer's size chart — not your standard clothing size.
Rash guard care
Wash after every workout at 30°C, inside out. Do not use fabric softener — it clogs the micropores. Dry on a hanger, never in a dryer. With proper care, it lasts 200+ washes.
