Secure Compression Fit
The close-fitting compression design is made to move with the body during training. Rubber bands at the sleeves and waist help keep the rash guard positioned during grappling, stretching, ground work and repeated changes of direction.
A secure fit can help reduce unnecessary movement of the garment while an athlete trains. Choose the size that best matches your body measurements and preferred level of compression. The rash guard should feel supportive and flexible without causing pain, numbness or restricted breathing.

UPF 50+ UV Protection
The Te Ara BJJ Rash Guard uses UPF 50+ compression fabric and is designed to block 98% of UVA and UVB rays according to the product information. This makes it a practical option for outdoor training, running, conditioning and sports activities in sunny conditions.
UV-protective clothing should be combined with other sun-safety habits, including seeking shade, using suitable sunscreen on exposed skin and avoiding unnecessary exposure during the strongest sunlight. Read the Cancer Society New Zealand sun and UV guidance for general information.
Care and Maintenance
Follow the care instructions on the garment label to help maintain the stretch, fit and appearance of the fabric. Wash the rash guard after regular use, especially after high-sweat training sessions. Use a suitable sportswear washing method and avoid harsh chemicals that could affect the compression fibres or printed design.
Allow the rash guard to dry completely before storing it. Avoid leaving damp sports clothing inside a closed gym bag for extended periods. Keep the garment away from sharp surfaces that could catch or damage the fabric.
Do not use excessive heat unless the care label specifically allows it. Proper washing and drying can help preserve the garment’s flexibility and the appearance of its sublimated design.
