Icon6 MANTO Rashguards

MANTO online store

I cannot begin to tell you what high quality rashguards these are. I have the Meia Baiana (m), Tokyo (m), and camo (L) long sleeve rashguards.

Look: These look awesome. The logos are sublimated which means they wont come off and look amazing. All three have their own somewhat similar but yet very unique design.

Feel: These do not feel like any rashguards I have ever had before. They certainly aren't made of the same exact stuff as under armour. The cool thing is that they actually feel a little more like a silky cloth instead of a spandex feel. This feels much better than regular rashguards as it doesn't feel like it is sticking to your skin (until it gets wet of course).

Fit: I am 5'7, 170 lbs. I am a stubby looking guy, barrel bodied. So with that said you would think that getting the sizing right would be pretty important for me. I got the camo first in large and it fit great! The only thing I noticed was that the sleeves had a little bit of bunching. I thought this was because I got it a size too big. So the next two I got in medium and they still bunch a little. I come to realize this is because of the material, not the size. Unless you have really long monkey-esq arms you will have at least a little bit of bunching unlike under armour (as it is skin tight all over). The bodies however fit amazing! The medium and the large fit the same, the only difference is that the large has more room at the bottom.

The armpits will feel different at first. You will really notice how tight it is right under into the deepest part of your armpit. I could imagine that for some people might not be able to write this off as I did. But after wearing it the first time there was no more discomfort in the armpits.

Plus shipping these each cost me $51.... So I spent a total of $153 on rashguards and it was worth every penny.

GET THESE RASHGUARDS!

My favorite rashguard is a competion rashguard made by Manto that I picked up cheap from Budovideos. It's a size bigger than I normally use, but the fit and the feel is great.

I've got the blue short sleeve one. Nice rashguard, but my only gripe is it's not as tight as I'd like it to be. I've also got Siruis, Nogi, and Hayabusa rashguards and they're all cut slimmer than Manto.

They designed the rashguards pictured above much slimmer. I felt the same way about the rashguards but they improved that in the Tokyo, Camo, and Meia Baiana.

I just can't bring myself to pay 40+ for a rashie. That's why I don't have a load of Mantos.
