Review: Long Sleeve Fight Shirt Repeller-Black

Per Manufacture- Rethink Your Rashguard. You hear a lot about moisture wicking shirts, now feel the difference of moisture repelling shirts. While most rash guards are designed to keep your sweat away from your body, they do very little to keep your training partner’s sweat off of you. The SPRAWL Repeller does just that. The Repeller fabric is treated at the fiber level so that it never absorbs moisture making it sweat and blood repellent. This also makes for a very fast drying garment. These properties make the SPRAWL Repeller especially well designed for contact sports such as grappling and wrestling. This Repeller fabric is soft, comfortable and breathable with a little bit of stretch. It has an athletic cut making it not too loose and not too tight. The new SPRAWL repeller is a unique advancement to traditional rashguards. This enhancement makes them the perfect protective garment for grapplers and MMA athletes.

First Impression- When I first pulled this rashguard out I noticed that it was nice and thick. I also like the fact that it had very small logos and a clean look to it. Also the seams were well done and felt like it was going to be durable.

Construction- The feel of this rashguard is unlike any other I have. Most feel like spandex where as this one just has a nice soft feel to it. It is made out of 100% nylon and has excellent stretching ability. It is made here in the United States so of course that’s going to be a pro for it. All stitching is done very well and has no loose threads. The one and only logo it has however is screen printed so we will see how long that lasts.

Fit- The fit of this rashguard is good. Unlike most rashguards which are skin tight this one has more of a loose feel to it which I liked. I ended up going with a medium which is perfect causing it to not be too loose. It stays in place well and as long as it is tucked in your shorts does not ride up. One thing I did notice however is I could definitely notice I was wearing it. Not in an annoying way just could always feel it moving with me. I did mange to stay fairly cool and not over heat like I have with some of the skin tight rashguards I own.

Stand up- This rashguard works excellent in the stand up game. It allows plenty of range of motion and really feels very natural while wearing it. Something I noticed about it is how fast it dries. I could easily have this thing soaked and it a matter of 10 minutes would be almost completely dry again. The repeller fabric does exactly what it says it does, and because of the fact that it is a loose fit rashguard it did not rid up of shift at all.

Ground- I really got to see what this rashguard was all about once I used it for ground work. Normally when wearing a rasguard on the ground it becomes soaking wet both you and your partners sweat. Well it did get wet with my partners sweat but only on the outside. I could actually see the beads of sweat that would appear on the outside of the rashguard. Now while I would think that would make it not breath so well I would be wrong. Keeps me just the right temperature. It felt good while wearing it but like I said before I could feel it was there. That is the one place where the tight fitting rashguards have this one beat. Other then that it did not ride up or shift.

Pros-

*Excellent Construction

*Quick drying

*Good fit

Cons-

*Screen Printed logo

*Plain looks could be bad to some

Overall- This is an excellent rashgaurd. If you are in the market for a new one or are just looking to add another piece of gear to your collection this is definitely a product I can recommend. The price of this rashgaurd is about $53.
