Venum Rashguard G-Fit Air Short Sleeves – Black/Black

In brief: The Venum G-Fit Air short-sleeve rashguard is a compression shirt made of polyester and elastane that fits perfectly to the skin and actively supports muscle recovery. Ideal for grappling, MMA and BJJ training when you're looking for protection and compression without excessive heat.

This rashguard is designed for fighters who want protection against scrapes and matburn during grappling, MMA or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, while the compression technology promotes blood circulation and supports muscle recovery. With short sleeves, this model is especially suitable for those who want more freedom of movement or less heat than a long-sleeve rashguard. If you train mainly with a gi or are looking for extra warmth for cooler training spaces, a long-sleeve model makes more sense.

Difference with long-sleeve rashguards

The choice between short and long sleeves depends on your preference and training conditions. A short-sleeve rashguard like the G-Fit Air offers more ventilation and freedom of movement around the elbows, which is nice during intensive sparring or in warmer environments. Long-sleeve rashguards, on the other hand, provide full arm protection against scrapes and matburn, which is preferred by many BJJ and grappling athletes. With both variants, the compression provides the same support for blood circulation and muscle recovery.

The material of 87% polyester and 13% elastane ensures durability and sufficient stretch. The compression fit keeps the fabric tight against your body, reducing friction and preventing opponents from finding grip on loose fabric. The model in the photo is 183 cm tall, weighs 79 kg and wears size M.

Frequently asked questions

What size Venum G-Fit Air rashguard should I order?

Compare your own chest, waist and hip measurements with the size chart of this product. Measure your body at the widest points and choose the size where your measurements fit. Rashguards should fit snugly for optimal compression, but must not pinch or restrict movement.

Is this rashguard suitable for BJJ with a gi?

Yes, you can wear this rashguard under your gi for extra protection and compression. However, many athletes choose long-sleeve rashguards under the gi for full arm coverage, because the kimono sleeves can shift during rolling.

Can I also use this Venum rashguard for fitness or running?

This rashguard is designed for grappling and MMA, but you can also use it for other sports. The compression technology and moisture-wicking polyester work perfectly for strength training and cardio, as long as you find the tight fit comfortable.

How should I wash this rashguard to maintain the compression?

Wash the rashguard at a maximum of 30 degrees in the machine, preferably inside out. Do not use fabric softener and dry it in the air instead of in the dryer. This way the elastane fibres will keep their stretch.
