Brazilian Fightwear Rash Guard Review

The boys at BFW sent me a rashguard to check out, so here goes!

Let’s look firstly at the competition. Surf rash guards and Underarmour. While both these options work fine, I’ve found that they start to wear down rather quickly after extended use and care. I’ve got Underarmour short sleeve tops that began breaking down after just a few washes. These BFW rash guards are burly. I’d guess that they’re about twice as thick as its competition.

The screen printing is just as rugged as the fabric itself. It looks like it’s some sort of rubberized paint that stretches so it doesn’t crumble with repeated use.

The stitching… the stitching is pretty crazy. I’d say borderline extreme. Almost as extreme as the athletes that wear them. XTREEEEEME!!! Just kidding. The thread they use is heavy duty to begin with, and the stitch pattern is difficult to see because it’s so dense. Bottom line is that it’s pretty much indestructable at every seam, so you don’t have to worry about anything coming loose.

If you’re not into the rah rah Brazil colors, BFW has some other options available as well. The rashie also comes in a long sleeve. Go check ‘em out!
