If you’ve ever rolled without a rashguard, you already know the difference a good one makes. Whether you’re drilling takedowns, grinding through guard passes, or hitting the mats for open mat night, a quality BJJ rashguard protects your skin, regulates your body temperature, and keeps your movement unrestricted. Gameness has been a trusted name in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gear for years, and their rashguard lineup reflects that — covering every athlete from competitive adults to young grapplers just finding their footing on the mat.
This guide breaks down the full Gameness rashguard collection so you can find the right fit for your training style, body type, and budget.
Why a Quality BJJ Rashguard Matters
A rashguard isn’t just about aesthetics. On the mat, it reduces friction burns from the canvas, minimizes skin-to-skin contact (which matters for hygiene), and helps your training partners get a better grip during clinches and takedowns — or less grip, depending on the cut. A well-fitted rashguard also keeps muscles warm and can slightly reduce the risk of minor strains during long sessions.
For no-gi training in particular, a rashguard is essentially mandatory. For gi training, many practitioners wear one underneath to reduce irritation from the collar and sleeves. Either way, the material, sleeve length, and fit all contribute to how comfortable and effective your session will be.
Men’s Rashguards — What Gameness Offers
Gameness carries a solid range of men’s rashguards spanning several styles, sleeve lengths, and price points. Here’s a breakdown of the key options currently available.
Pro Ranked Series
The Men’s Short Sleeve Pro Ranked Rash Guard (047337) and the Men’s Long Sleeve Pro Ranked Rash Guard (047338) are among the newest additions to the lineup, priced at $40 and $45 respectively. Both come in five colorways — Black, White, Blue, Purple, and Brown — which correspond to BJJ belt ranks. This makes them a popular choice for athletes who want their gear to reflect their progress on the mat.
The long sleeve version has earned a perfect 5.0 rating, while the short sleeve carries a 3.8 from four reviews, suggesting the fit or fabric may vary slightly between cuts. Worth trying on or checking size guides before ordering if you’re between sizes.
For those on a budget, the Men’s Long Sleeve Pro Rank Rash Guard (047331) is currently on clearance from $45 down to $33.75, offering the same ranked color options at a reduced price.
Solid and Clearance Options
The Men’s Short Sleeve Solid Rash Guard (047334) is a stripped-down option currently on clearance at $22.50 (down from $45). If you’re a newer practitioner who doesn’t need rank colors or graphics, this is a cost-effective way to gear up without spending on features you don’t need yet.
The Meeting of the Waters series — both short sleeve (04765) and long sleeve (04766) — feature a distinctive navy design and are priced at $25 each on clearance. The long sleeve version holds a perfect 5.0 rating.
Eco Line
The Men’s Eco Short Sleeve (047339) and Men’s Eco Long Sleeve (047340) rashguards come in dark green and are made with eco-conscious materials. Priced at $30.15 and $36.85 respectively (both on clearance), they offer a sustainable alternative without sacrificing performance. A good pick for environmentally conscious practitioners.
Spirit Animal and Combate
The Spirit Animal Short Sleeve (047335) at $33.50 (clearance from $50) and Spirit Animal Long Sleeve (047336) at $36.85 (clearance from $55) feature a bold black and white graphic design — a bit of personality for those who want their gear to stand out during training.
The Men’s Combate Short Sleeve (047349) is a newer release priced at $45, available in olive. No reviews yet, but the Combate name suggests a competition-oriented build.
Women’s Rashguards — Performance Meets Fit
Gameness offers several women’s-specific rashguards designed to fit the female athletic build, with options across short sleeve, long sleeve, ranked, eco, and graphic styles.
Pro Ranked Series for Women
The Women’s Short Sleeve Pro Ranked Rash Guard (047341) at $40 and the Women’s Long Sleeve Pro Ranked Rash Guard (047342) at $45 are both new arrivals. Like the men’s versions, they come in Black, White, Blue, Purple, and Brown. These are full-price items, which signals they’re current season releases with active inventory.
The older Women’s Short Sleeve Pro Ranked Rash Guard (047432) is available on clearance starting at $22.50 (down from $45) in the same five color options. A 5.0-rated option with one review — solid choice if you want ranked colors on a clearance budget.
Bravo and Ranked Long Sleeve
The Women’s Short Sleeve Bravo (04767) and Women’s Long Sleeve Bravo (04768) come in a Black/Teal colorway at $25 each on clearance. The long sleeve Bravo holds a perfect 5.0 rating. These are clean, understated options for practitioners who train in gi and want something that layers comfortably.
The Women’s Long Sleeve Ranked Rash Guard (047433) starts at $33.50 on clearance (from $50) and comes in five rank colors. A versatile option that bridges the gap between the clearance and new-season lines.
Eco Line for Women
Women’s eco options include the Eco Short Sleeve (047343) starting at $30.15 and the Eco Long Sleeve (047344) starting at $33.50, both on clearance and available in turquoise. Eco-friendly fabric, competitively priced — a strong pick for the environmentally minded female grappler.
Youth Rashguards — Getting Kids Started Right
Gameness makes it easy to gear up younger grapplers with purpose-built youth options.
Youth Short Sleeve Ranked Rash Guard
The Youth Short Sleeve Ranked Rash Guard (047531) is priced at $38 and currently rated 5.0 across five reviews — the most-reviewed youth item in the lineup. It comes in six colors: Black, Grey, White, Yellow, Orange, and Green, covering the full youth belt spectrum. The ranked color approach helps young athletes feel connected to their progress on the mat, which can be a meaningful motivational tool for kids in BJJ programs.
Youth Eco Short Sleeve
The Youth Eco Short Sleeve (047347) comes in neon green and is on clearance at $26.80 (from $40). A budget-friendly eco-conscious option for parents who want quality gear without a premium price tag.
Specialty and Collab Rashguards
Two items stand out as collector or fan pieces. The Cobra Kai SS Rash Guard (04716) was a collaboration piece — currently sold out — originally priced at $69.99 and on clearance at $17.49. The Yes Sensei Long Sleeve (04719) is still available at the same clearance price in a multi-color design. These are gimmick-free options for fans of the franchise who train, or gifts for grapplers who are also fans of the show.
How to Choose the Right Gameness Rashguard
A few practical considerations before you buy:
Sleeve length comes down to preference and training context. Long sleeves offer more skin coverage and warmth — useful in cooler gyms or for skin protection during intense drilling. Short sleeves are cooler and less restrictive in the arms, preferred by many no-gi competitors.
Rank colors are optional but meaningful. If your gym encourages matching gear to your rank, the Pro Ranked series makes that easy. If you prefer neutral gear, the solid or eco lines keep things simple.
Budget varies widely across the lineup. Clearance items start under $25 and offer strong value. New-season items like the Combate or Pro Ranked series run $40–$45 and likely reflect updated fabric or construction specs.
Fit and gender matter for performance. Gameness offers men’s, women’s, and youth cuts separately, which means better ergonomic fit across body types rather than a unisex compromise.
Final Thoughts
Gameness’s rashguard lineup covers a wide range of athletes, budgets, and training contexts. Whether you’re outfitting a beginner looking for an affordable clearance option, a serious competitor wanting rank-matched gear, or a young athlete just starting their BJJ journey, there’s a Gameness rashguard built for the job.
The clearance section in particular offers exceptional value — many of these items carry 5.0 ratings at prices well below their original retail. If you’re stocking up or buying your first rashguard, starting there makes sense. For new releases with full size availability and the latest construction updates, the Pro Ranked and Combate lines are worth the full price.
