Combat Rash Guard | Short Sleeve
Heavyweight MMA & BJJ Rash Guard
The ONX Combat Rash Guard Short Sleeve is an MMA rashguard and BJJ rashguard built heavier than the standard. Its fabric weighs 300 GSM, or grams per square meter, the standard measure of how heavy and dense a fabric is. A higher GSM means a denser, tougher fabric, and that density is what matters here: most rash guards sit at 180 to 220 GSM, so at 300 GSM this one stays more opaque under stretch, holds up longer through daily mat work, and delivers firmer compression. The short sleeve cut keeps the arms free for grips while the heavyweight fabric holds everything in place.
This is the short sleeve version, cut for athletes who want their arms free for clinch and grip work or who train in warmer conditions. If you want full-arm coverage and abrasion protection, the long sleeve version uses the same 300 GSM build. Sublimation-ready construction makes either one a fit for gyms and teams building custom fightwear.
Construction
Built to Hold Up, Round After Round
HEAVYWEIGHT 300 GSM FABRIC
A dense polyester and spandex fabric that stays opaque under stretch and holds firm compression. Heavier than the standard 180 to 220 GSM rash guard, built for durability and a premium hand feel.
ANTI-RIDE FIT WITH SILICONE GRIPPER
A silicone waist gripper and athletic cut keep the short sleeve locked in place. No shifting or riding up mid-roll, so you spend zero energy adjusting it.
FLATLOCK STITCHING & REINFORCED PANELS
Flatlock seams sit flat to reduce chafing during grappling. Reinforced stress panels hold up in the high-friction areas where lighter rash guards break down.
MOISTURE-WICKING, QUICK-DRY
Pulls sweat off the skin and dries fast to keep you cool through long sessions and back-to-back rounds.
UV PROTECTION & LOW-PROFILE COLLAR
Built-in UV resistance takes it from the mat to outdoor and surf training, and a low-profile athletic collar stays flat and out of the way.
The Difference
Standard Rash Guards vs ONX
| Standard Rash Guards | ONX Combat Short Sleeve |
|---|---|
| Lightweight 180 to 220 GSM fabric | Heavyweight 300 GSM fabric |
| Can turn see-through under stretch | Stays opaque under stretch |
| Light compression support | Firm, medium-high compression |
| Rides up during rolls | Anti-ride fit with silicone gripper |
| Wears thin over time | Reinforced panels for longevity |
Heavy-Duty Compression
Built heavier on purpose. More opacity, more compression, more longevity, in a short sleeve cut made for combat sports.
FAQ
Short Sleeve Rash Guard FAQs
What size should I order?
The short sleeve rash guard runs true to size in S, M, L, XL, and XXL. Order your normal size for a compression fit. The cut is snug by design for a second-skin feel, so size up if you prefer a looser fit. Sizing is consistent across all four colors.
What is it made of, and how heavy is it?
Polyester and spandex at 300 GSM. GSM means grams per square meter, the standard measure of fabric weight, and 300 GSM is heavyweight, well above the 180 to 220 GSM of standard rash guards. That density is what gives it durability, opacity, and firm compression. Polyester handles moisture-wicking and color retention, while spandex adds the 4-way stretch and shape retention.
Should I choose short sleeve or long sleeve?
The short sleeve keeps your arms free for grips and clinch work and runs cooler in hot training environments. The long sleeve version, built from the same 300 GSM fabric, adds full-arm coverage and abrasion protection for colder conditions or more mat contact. Choose by climate and how much coverage you want.
What sports is it built for?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, MMA, wrestling, functional fitness and CrossFit, plus surfing and outdoor training thanks to the built-in UV protection. The heavyweight fabric and anti-ride fit suit grappling and striking equally.
