I just got me some comfortable rash guards at Target for $7 a piece. Been wearing one several hours a day for over a week(no washing), and it ain't falling apart yet. Nice and comfy. The smell could kill you, though.
Yes, I'm cheap, but I'm also practical. Besides, the idea of paying some asshole company $50 for the priviledge of advertising their **** just doesn't appeal to me.

Hand wash them. Your teammates will appreciate it.

I've got spawl (loose fit short and long sleeve) and some underarmor (short and long sleeve).
The sprawl gear is awesome partyicularly the long sleeve. Both do the job pretty well as far as pulling away the gallons of sweat with the sprawl gear getting the nod because it also seems to remain cool against the skin. Both are good though.

Is there anyone out there in the UK who knows good places for rash guards? I really don't care about who makes them, provided they are halfway decent.
I like the sound of these very cheap Walmart ones, but I doubt they'd exist over here.

You can order a Nogi RG for $25 and shipping shouldn't be more the $8. Can you order the Wal-Mart one onleine and have it shipped to the UK?

People on other sites have good things to say about SSFgear.com
People always look at price. Sometimes you want to look at service too. For example - I laugh at people who bought from mmagear.com, because they knew they were going to get screwed. They were just hoping to be in the small percentage of people who actually got their order, on time, in the right size. And they never did.

OK guys, flame away:

Wash them on the delicate cycle. Hang dry if you must, but I've used a $10 Starter compression shirt from Wal-Mart for a year now and it's been fine even though I've put it in the dryer plenty of times.
I also have a Gameness rashguard but I feel like a poser wearing it so I've only ever used it once.

there is a guy that posts on sherdog named "Fightgear UK"
his signature shows the website is www.fightgear.net I dont know anything about his service or reputation though.
Edit* Just to add, Ron at SSF has a stellar reputation on sherdog. Although I have not ordered from them yet, I would not hesitate to order from him at all.

I've checked out the no gi ones, unfortunately the one I'd probably go for isn't in stock. I'm trying to get one rashguard that will cover both gi and no gi training. So I'm after long sleeve and preferably with some form of collar. Basically, this bad boy:

Shame about the logo, but I would have to insist to my training partners that I am not showing off. ;-)
I can't find anything on the site about international shipping either...
Edit: also I get wierd errors on ssfgear.com, like I can't browe rashguards (I follow the link to MMA, then click on rashguards further down the page) because it keeps bringing up a picture of some bloke telling me that my session timed out, and I should click on him to start a new one. It goes without saying that this happens everytime, so I get nowhere. I've tried IE and firefox to no avail.
