What is a short sleeve rashguard?
A rashguard with short sleeves is a type of specialist sports shirt that is both flexible and durable. At SMMASH, we make them from a blend of polyester and elastane, which also provides high comfort and makes them fit the body perfectly. This ensures freedom of movement without restriction or pressure.
What sets them apart from long sleeve shirts (longsleeve)? Above all, it is the level of breathability. Short sleeves allow sweat to be wicked away more effectively during intense training sessions.
Who is it for and for what occasions? Uses of short sleeve rashguards.
We recommend buying this type of clothing for people who practise contact sports and martial arts, CrossFit, as well as running. Short sleeve shirts work best during activities in indoor sports facilities or in warmer weather conditions (spring and summer), when the ambient temperature exceeds 10–15 degrees Celsius.
They are also excellent for strength training. Especially when you want full visibility of the arm muscles while protecting the torso at the same time.
Choosing the right rashguard – step by step
This process requires a thoughtful approach. First, determine the sport in which you will use it. After all, it is worth remembering that each sport has slightly different requirements (e.g. regarding the flexibility and durability of the material). Second, take your measurements, especially chest circumference. Compare them with the size chart on our website. Remember to choose a size so that the short rashguard fits close to the body. Third, choose the pattern and model. Pay attention to the technical specification, including fabric weight – lighter models (around 200 g/m²) are ideal for running, while heavier ones (up to 230 g/m²) work better in contact sports. You can choose from many ready-made designs. Fourth, add the remaining items. You can successfully pair your chosen rashguard with suitable shorts, leggings and more.
