The Details

Specifications & Customization

Every component, engineered for the mat — and fully tailorable to your team.

1. Fabric Specifications & Composition

The base material is the most crucial element. It must provide compression, maintain shape under extreme stretching, and perfectly absorb sublimation inks.

  • Material Blend:80% Polyester / 20% Spandex (Elastane) or 85% Polyester / 15% Spandex. 
    • Why Polyester? Sublimation printing requires high-percentage polyester fibers to open up under heat and lock the gas dye permanently into the core fabric. 
    • Why Spandex? Provides the necessary elasticity and compression. 
  • Fabric Weight (GSM):220 GSM to 240 GSM (Grams per Square Meter).
    • Quality standard: Anything below 200 GSM is too thin and will become sheer/translucent when stretched. A 220–240 GSM weight ensures optimal thickness, durability against mat burn, and zero transparency while remaining breathable. 
  • Stretch Profile:4-Way Stretch Technology. The fabric must stretch vertically and horizontally, adapting to intense body movements without warping the printed artwork or restricting range of motion. 

2. Printing Quality & Sublimation Standards

Dye-sublimation is the gold standard for performance athletic apparel because the ink chemically fuses with the fibers instead of sitting on top. 

  • Zero Surface Texture: The finished print must be completely imperceptible to the touch. It cannot have a raised rubbery or plastic feel (unlike screen printing or heat transfers). 
  • Anti-Peeling & Anti-Cracking: Because the ink is deep within the yarns, the design will never crack, peel, fade, or flake off, even across highly stressed areas like the shoulders and chest. 
  • Color Saturation & Resolution: Sublimation allows for unlimited color options, intricate gradients, and high-resolution details (such as complex vector line work or detailed themes). The fabric must yield sharp, high-contrast imagery with precise edge definition. 

3. Stitching & Construction Specifications

The way a rash guard is sewn together determines its structural longevity and the wearer's comfort during high-friction training.

  • Seam Type:Reinforced 4-Needle 6-Thread Flatlock Stitching. 
    • Quality standard: Flatlock stitching creates a completely flat seam inside and out. This eliminates seam bulk and prevents skin chafing or friction burns during heavy grappling or training. 
  • Thread Type: High-elasticity nylon or polyester threads that expand and contract along with the 4-way stretch fabric without snapping. 
  • Panel Construction: Ergonomic multi-panel construction tailored to the body’s natural lines to provide a locked-in, "second skin" fit that prevents the garment from riding up or shifting.

4. Performance & Fabric Treatments

Premium combat and athletic apparel should undergo specific chemical or mechanical treatments during production to elevate its quality:

  • Moisture-Wicking & Quick-Dry: The material must quickly draw sweat away from the skin and pull it to the outer surface of the garment for fast evaporation, keeping the athlete cool and lightweight. 
  • Anti-Bacterial / Anti-Odor Treatment: A critical standard for close-contact combat sports to inhibit the growth of bacteria and microbes on the fabric between washes. 
  • UV Protection: A built-in rating of UPF 50+ to protect against solar radiation, ensuring versatility for both outdoor mats and water/surf sports. 
  • Waistband Security: The inclusion of an internal silicone gel grip lining along the bottom hem to keep the rash guard securely pinned down over shorts or spats during intense training.
