rash guards

[sindian]

Do any of you use rash guards when you roll? Any brands you'd recommend? Links to cheap, good rash guards would also be appreciated.

I guess I should've checked the older threads: http://karateforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=11676&sid=9a8bccf368490683c18a54cdb12c67db

 

I actually did a search before posting, but that thread didn't come up.

 

I'd still appreciate any other recommendations.

I haven't clicked on that link yet, but I use vitamins&minerals rashguards... they are excellent. Brazilian top team member adriano lucio is sponsored by them, and as we are under him, we get rash guards through him/them. Also, under armour has some pretty good ones. I've got one by a company called heay that's not bad - I've never really seen them in stores though.

Mwuahaha, you've got ringworm

Its caused by fungus on the mats that finds its way onto your skin. Its basically athletes foot, except its not on your foot.

Lamisil clears that up in a couple of days (or you could go hardcore and bleach it)

I like Under Armor, too.

Any siginificant danger of getting ringworm, rashes, etc, when wearing a gi?

if the mats aren't cleaned regularly, then definitely.
