Fairtex rashguards are designed as compression-fit MMA, BJJ and grappling base layers — the cut sits tight to the body so it doesn't shift under a gi or fight shorts. Sizes XS through 3XL are unisex. Pick by chest circumference; the rest of the measurements are reference points for length and reach.

How to measure
- Chest: measure around the fullest part of your chest, tape level under the arms.
- Sleeve length: measure from the centre back of your neck, across the shoulder and down to your wrist.
- Length: from the high point of the shoulder seam to the hem.
Fit notes
- Rashguards are designed for compression fit — they should feel close to the skin without restricting movement. If you're between two sizes, the smaller size delivers the support a rashguard is built for; size up only if you want a looser, t-shirt-style wear.
- The fabric is anti-bacterial Nylon/Spandex with quick-dry properties — it stretches with your range of motion and recovers shape after washing.
- RG8 short sleeve and RG9 long sleeve use the same body measurements; only sleeve length and total length differ between cuts.

Fairtex RG8 Short Sleeve Rash Guard Black
Engineered to handle the heat of mat work, the Fairtex RG8 Short Sleeve Rash Guard in Black gives you a tight, low-friction layer that stays out of your way on the ground. Crafted from a polyester and spandex blend, this rash guard wicks sweat fast, dries quickly, and stretches with every scramble.
The compressive cut hugs the torso without rolling up under a Gi or no-Gi top, while the flatlock seams sit flush against the skin to prevent chafing during hard sparring rounds.
Main Features:
- Polyester and spandex blend for stretch, recovery, and fast moisture wicking
- Flatlock seams that stay smooth against the skin during ground work
- Compressive fit that won't bunch under a Gi or rashguard top
- Handmade in Thailand for authentic craftsmanship
- Built for BJJ, MMA, and grappling-heavy training environments
