RASH GUARDS / NO-GI SHORTS / UNISEX FIT

Get the fit right before the first round.

GRPL runs large. Use height and weight to find a starting point, then compare to a No Gi set you own with the exact measurements below.

UNISEX FIT GARMENT MEASUREMENTS 1–2 CM TOLERANCE WHEN BETWEEN SIZES, ASK US

01 / READ THIS FIRST

Measure the garment, not your body.

Every measurement in the charts below is taken from the garment laid flat. The easiest way to choose is to measure a rash guard or pair of shorts you already like, then compare those numbers with the GRPL chart.

GRPL products are unisex and run large. Women and smaller male athletes will commonly start between Youth Large and Adult Small, depending on height, build and preferred compression.

Allow approximately 1–2 cm manufacturing tolerance. Height and weight can narrow the options, but chest, torso length, waist and fit preference should make the final decision.

02 / HEIGHT + WEIGHT STARTING POINTS

Start here. Confirm with the garment chart.

These ranges are practical starting points, not guaranteed fits. Two athletes at the same weight can need different sizes.

03 / REAL-WORLD REFERENCES

Known fits from the mat.

01 / SMALLER WOMAN ≈ 155 CM / 60–64 KG

YXL rash guard
S shorts

Women smaller than this often begin with a Youth Large rash guard. Confirm shorts using the waist measurement.

02 / LEAN MALE ≈ 175 CM / 70 KG

YXL rash guard
M shorts

A useful example of why rash guard and shorts sizes do not always match.

03 / TALL ATHLETE ≈ 190 CM / 88 KG

S–M rash guard
M–L shorts

Choose within the range based on preferred compression and how much room you like through the waist.

04 / STOCKIER ATHLETE ≈ 175 CM / 100 KG

L–XL rash guard
L–XL shorts

At the same height, extra chest and waist measurement can move the fit up several sizes.

04 / HOW TO MEASURE

Lay your best-fitting gear flat.

A

Half chest

Measure straight across the rash guard from armpit to armpit. Full chest is double the half-chest measurement.

B

Front length

Measure from the highest shoulder or collar point straight down to the bottom hem.

A

Half waist

Lay the shorts flat without stretching the waistband and measure straight across the top.

B

Outseam

Measure from the top of the waistband down the outside edge to the bottom of the leg opening.
