I am pretty new to jiu jitsu and I have been looking at different Rash Guards. I see that there is a wide range of prices and Brands. Some brands have them as low as $15 and some as high as $80 but most are around $50. Can anyone give me some advice on which brands you prefer and which brands maybe aren’t so good?
I am using ~$10 compression shirts and Venum rashguard. The only difference is the $10 shirt is thinner compared to Venum and venum has that elastic band at the tummy end of the shirt. The $10 shirt still holds up very well when rolling. I will buy five $10 compression shirts which I can rotate usage, compared to just one branded rashguard.
I will rather invest more on grappling shorts tbt, compared to rashguard.
I like Fuji. They work well for me, they are pretty reasonably price, plus we have a 30% coupon through Grappler’s Guide.
I just learned about those discounts today and I’m super hyped on it! Thanks brother!
I really like the designs on Scramble brand rashies. I've also had Raven and 93 brand rashies that are good. Sometimes I just wear the $15 rashie I bought from Kmart and it's just as good really. But it doesn't have the fancy graphics. I'd wait for specials. Bjjhq have rashies on sale all the time
From my experience, underarmour always had the highest quality compression gear. I wouldn't get anything else unless I really like the design or if it's heavily discounted.
I’ve tried various BJJ rashguards as well as compression shirts from nike, underarmour, etc. I actually prefer compression shirts because they are thinner and I train in a hot climate. As an added bonus they are much cheaper and they seem to be of similar quality and craftsmanship. If I was gonna get another BJJ rashguard I’d probably get Origin because they are American made so I could justify the higher cost.
I have a bunch of different brands. I started with the cheap compression shirts which were fine, but I started picking up other rashguards on sale from bjjhq. My favorites are Raven (best value) and Phalanx (best quality). Unlike another poster, I have not been a fan of any of my Fuji stuff actually - especially the shorts.
As someone new to BJJ, I want a rash guard that I likely wouldn't get buyer's regret over. So I did a lot of reading up and the
Elite Sports rash guard gets mentioned a lot. I bought the long sleeve version and I am very satisfied with what I am getting. It is cheap compared to a lot of rash guards in the market but the quality is impressive given its cost. I would like to believe that it is one of the most value for money rash guard that you can buy.
3 packs on Amazon are your friend
I initially bought a 3 pack on Amazon and they work fine. I definitely like the look of some of them that are specifically made for jiu jitsu. I’m going to try out a couple different brands and that should hold me over for a while!
This is a link. These have cool prints, but are expensive.
I have not had good success with amazon rash guards.
I just got a new rashie from jitsy and it's the really good quality. Thicker material than a lot of other rashies I've got and good fit.

hey maan, may i know the issue with fuji shorts? I'm eyeing their fuji baseline shorts (and maybe rashguard) because of plain color.

Another vote for Fuji, good quality.
But yeah, whatever fits your budget and your sense of style is fine. :)

Is there a significant difference between rashguards and generic under armour?

i have under armor and it seems as good as some of the higher priced rash Guards I have
I do find that some of my higher priced rash guards seem to be a bit more comfortable and better made then my under armor but might be in my mindperformance wise there all the same for me
Cheaper rash guards are thinner. More expensive rash guards tend to be slightly thicker (protecting you from rashes) and fit/stretch a little better.

I also find the additional details on more expensive rashguards very useful (e.g. the rubber strip to stop it riding up).
I've had cheap rashguards that have lasted me years but the difference tends to be that they don't feel as nice and start looking very tatty very quickly.

Recently bought long sleeve Lafroi rash guard on Amazon for about $20 (on sale, plus Amazon coupon). It is essentially a swim rash guard. Great fit. Will let you know how it holds up in training.
Or just under armour shirts, whatever costs the least.
Funny I look at rash guards like underwear. Make sure you wear clean for every practice. Based on sleeve length I really insist on longsleeve and spats to the ankle. You need to have enough or wash enough to facilitate wearing clean for every
practice.
