Be sure to read the full written review here: www.bjjgearjunkie.com Overview What a cool concept and sick design for a Bjj rash guard. Often times skilled fighters and Bjj players are referred to as “beasts” or “he/she is such a beast!” Props to Manto for tapping into the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu culture and producing this product. I first saw this rash guard on Dean Lister at the 2011 ADCC event as he smashed through his divisions. Now I know what everyone is thinking, but I can tell you that just because you put this rash guard on and step out on the mat, it does not make you a beast. I learned this the hard way while reviewing it! The Fit Ok so I’m 5’7 and about 170 lbs right now. I chose to review this rash guard in a medium size. It fits well, not too baggy and not too tight. I may have mentioned this before, but I prefer my rash guards to fit tight like an extra layer of skin. When they are baggy on me it feels like I’m wearing a t-shirt under my Gi and it drives me nuts. I was pleasantly surprised to notice that I did not seem to have any big issues with the bottom riding up. Most rash guards are guilty of this, but for the most part the Manto Beast rash guard tends to stay in place. The one issue that I did have with the fit is an issue I have talked about in the past. There is a seam that runs right under the armpit. This can cause some discomfort sometimes because it rubs and irritates the skin. I know Manto is aware of this issue because with their long sleeve rash …

Be sure to read the full written review here: www.bjjgearjunkie.com Overview Rupture claims they have developed the most advanced rash guard in the world, yes I know that’s a bold statement. Is it true, or just marketing fluff? Read on Gear Junkies and find out! The Fit I am 5’7 and 165 pounds currently. I ordered the Rupture PTSi rash guard in a medium and it fits well. The model that I tested could have been a bit longer in the overall length of the body, but I think they may have addressed this in newer models. I have short stumpy arms so most of the time I have issues with sleeve length, but not with this. They come right down to the wrist so there is no bunching at the bottom. I’m also happy to say there is NO seam running under the armpit. Durability Just check out the washing instructions to the right, I’ve yet to see a rash guard that tells you to basically wash it however you want. I did not dare to wash this one in bleach to test it out, but I assume they would have a lot of complaints if it were not true. I can say though, this is a very durable rash guard. I have no worries throwing this sucker in with my knee brace or other Velcro gear items. I did have a small stitching issue on the cuff of the left sleeve, but I fixed it and have not had an issue since. Be sure to watch the video review because I talk about it more there. I wore the Rupture PTSi rash guard out hiking once this past summer and it worked great. I was off the trail a bit and was weaving my way …
Promo for Road Rash Guard
This WSA event at Santa Cruz features great young surfers ripping a really good swell at Steamers – and they are all wearing our Victory Koredry contest jerseys which are the same Koredry lycra rashguards we sell through great surf shops. Koredry contest jerseys are a favorite of contest directors as they last far longer than regular rashguard jerseys.
