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.

Description
Description
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
