Details

The RIPTIDE judo rashguard in long sleeve is the navy and cyan under-gi base layer: flowing line art running the length of both sleeves, with a cyan AUN shield and spine wordmark on the back. The design is sublimated, so the colour sits inside the fibres rather than on top and will not crack, peel or fade.

Why wear a rashguard under your judogi?

Because the jacket is the problem. A judogi is heavy, stiff cotton, and every broken grip drags that weave across your forearms. A long sleeve base layer puts a smooth surface between your skin and the jacket, which is why judoka reach for one during high-volume gripping and randori. It also wicks sweat away instead of letting a cotton jacket hold it against you.

Full-length sleeves against forearm friction from heavy gi cotton.
Cyan line art running the length of both sleeves.
88% polyester, 12% spandex compression knit, around 220 GSM.
Flat, non-bulky build that will not bunch under the jacket when gripped.

Is it legal for IJF competition?

No, and it is worth being clear about that. Under IJF contest rules women wear a plain white or off-white t-shirt or body suit under the jacket, and men wear the judogi against the skin. This is training and randori wear. Check the current IJF rule set before a contest.

Who is it for?

Made for judoka who train often enough that gripping has cost them skin, and for clubs that want squad kit without a loud graphic. Navy reads as close to plain under a white judogi, which suits traditional dojos.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you wear a rashguard under a judogi?

For training, yes, and it is common. For IJF competition the rules are strict: women must wear a plain white or off-white t-shirt or body suit under the jacket, and men wear the jacket against the skin. Treat this rashguard as training and randori wear, and check the current IJF rule set before a contest.

Why long sleeves for judo?

The judogi is heavy, stiff cotton and it drags across the forearms every time a grip is broken. Long sleeves put a smooth layer between your skin and that weave, which is the main reason judoka wear them under the jacket for high-volume gripping and randori.

Will a rashguard make the gi too hot?

It adds a layer, but the fabric is a thin moisture-wicking knit at around 220 GSM rather than another cotton layer. It pulls sweat off the skin instead of holding it, which is why many judoka find it more comfortable under a heavy double-weave jacket than bare skin.

Can I use it for newaza and no-gi grappling too?

Yes. It is the same compression build used for no-gi grappling, so it works for newaza, ground drilling and conditioning as well as under the judogi. Full sleeves also cut mat burn on the forearms during ground work.

How should it fit under the gi?

Snug all over, with no loose fabric to bunch under the jacket when someone takes a grip. Sleeves should reach the wrist and stay there. If you are between sizes, take the smaller one for a base layer so it stays flat under the judogi.

Can we get it in club colours?

Yes. Send your club colours and crest and we rebuild the design around them, then return artwork for sign-off before production. The minimum is 10 pieces per order and sizes can be mixed across juniors and seniors.
