The first is the Bad Breed rash guard by Blitz Sport.
This is the first rash guard that I bought because it was the cheapest and easiest for my to purchase. Style wise it is an impressive looking rashie. I love the tribal pattern on the back, along with the text down the sides.The material is quite tight, as you would expect it to be, but doesn't really hug your body. During a heavy session it does stretch out a bit and loses shape, although after a wash it does go back to normal.
Another down side is that it can collect a lot of sweat during a heavy session. It does keep your muscles warm, but the cost is it can become quite soggy. This became very apparent after a trip to the gym.
A big problem I have with this guard is the design is not a part of the rash guard itself, but instead applied after. It does feel quite cheap and has shown signs of wear after only a couple weeks.
Overall it is a good rash guard for a beginner, but if you are looking at training harder, I would spend a few more pennies and go for a decent brand.
The second is the Haburi by Hayabusa Fightwear.
Following the gradual wear of my Bad Breed rashie, I thought it best to invest in a decent brand. This led me to purchase a short sleeve Haburi. From when I first put it on, I could feel the quality difference between the 2. The material felt a bit thicker than the Bad Breed, and it was very tight around my body. It also felt quite a bit cooler than the other rash guard. The design was minimal compared to the Blitz top, but this isn't a bad thing. After a few very hard sessions, the top still felt like new. Even during the session, it did not lose its shape or loosen off, and would stay tight throughout. It would also get rid of sweat rather rapidly, never leaving me feeling soggy, even on one of the hottest evenings of the year so far. There is nothing bad about this rash guard and is definitely worth every penny. I would really recommend this top to anyone.
