Most athletes buy the wrong size because they equate "loose" with "comfortable". In grappling, loose fabric is a liability. Your gear must function as a second skin.
THE "LOCKED-IN" FEEL
A properly fitted rashguard should be slightly difficult to put on. Once on, it should apply even pressure across the chest and shoulders. This compression increases blood flow and prevents opponents from grabbing loose fabric.
TORSO LENGTH MATTERS
If you raise your arms and the rashguard exposes your stomach, it's too short. BASE gear is cut longer than standard t-shirts to ensure it stays tucked into your shorts during inversions and scrambles.
