Sleeveless grappling tops?

Anybody wear them? I've always worn tight short sleeve rashguards. Wondering if anybody rolls with sleeveless tops and the pros/cons you've found as opposed to other rashguards.

Also looking for some vendors that sell them. I've checked out some and can't find many. I was going to buy one from the Gracie shop but they've only got small in stock.

Thanks in advance.

sleeveless = armpit hair in ppl's faces (or even if u shave them hairs, doesnt matter, an armpit is an armpit)
not cool

as much as i prefer the sleeveless myself, i won't do that to my trainnig partners

tito? screw tito =P
i used to play bball competitively, so i got used to sleeveless and jerseys when doing anything active

but i gave up bball 2 years ago when i realized the sport of basketball wasn't going to lead me anywhere as a 5'7 asian in canada, so i quit and commited the extra time into training...

i don't own any long sleeves....since i have to get XLs as it is for my wide chest/shoulders....the arm length of long sleeves would be ridiculous on me

I have sleeveless ones I wear to no-gi class, nobody has ever complained to me about armpit hair or I would have gotten a new one. I just bought nike rashguard thing from Academy for like 20 bucks

well, its not somethin i was vocal about either, but it was annoying when i was caught in a scarfhold position, and eatin a mouthful of sweaty hair. Not a regular occurance, but once was enough to make me realize i won't be the guy to do it to others....since i actually end up on top in that position a lot

i just wear my short sleeves, end of story =)

That is a good point actually... I wouldn't want to be stuck in a N/S choke from a dude with a sleeveless shirt on. Maybe I'll just stick to my rashguards.

That's a good point I hadn't thought of. I've worn a sleeveless rash guard a few times, but I think I'll stick to my long and short sleeved shirts and save that one for running.
