Hitman Black Rash Guard
The rash guard is the 2nd part of the combo package. Not much in the looks department, but it gets the job done.
For those who don't train with rash guards, or use something like Under Armor, Under Armor, Nike Dri-Fit, etc, they are not the same.
For example Dri-Fit is 74% Polyester, 14% Nylon and 12% Spandex.
This rash guard is 80% Nylon and 20% Lycra.
The difference in feel, fit and durability are no where close. Many people who grapple in Under Armor know it is very light but it rips very easily and over time wear out quickly. The Hitman rash guard is a heavier, but more durable feel, a skintight fit and you don't have to worry about it tearing. The downfall of this rash guard like the downfall of many others is how constantly it rides up. It is a very annoying situation having to constantly adjust it. I know some companies are coming out with rash guards with draw strings to help prevent ride up. If the Hitman rashguard had it, then it would be perfect for the price.
Hitman has a ton of dry fit shirts and rash guards available in nearly EVERY color! (sorry Foz, no pink). I also believe Hitman can do customizations to them which is great for training schools or people who want to customize their guard. The Hitman logo is the same quality as on the shorts.
In conclusion, I like it very much but the way it rides up is very annoying.
Overall: 8/10
Bonuses
The free gift for spending over $70?
A Hitman trucker hat. This hat isn't available on the website yet. It is a typical trucker hat. I have a small head so they look stupid on me. Still a very cool bonus for Hitman to throw in.
Also, they threw in about 9 UFC 66 promotional posters as well as these stickers. I think I got one of everything.
Conclusion
This was my first order with Hitman but it will not be the last. The customer service was great. The items were perfect as described and the extras are always nice. My only complaint is that they use UPS to ship. Personally I loathe UPS and in the past not shopped at online stores the only offer UPS as a shipping option. I think it would be wise of Hitman in the future to offer other shipping solutions like FedEx or USPS. UPS ground kinda blows when 3 day Priority Mail is quicker and less expensive, although UPS is insured and USPS is extra for insurance. But again, it is fightwear, I don't think it is something that can be damaged shipping but the way UPS cares for packages it is a good thing it is insured. And yes, my box arrived with a nice kick mark dented in the side. Other than shipping, no problems.
I'd definately recommend everyone to check them out. They have a ton of nice graphic tshirts for $10 and $20 and the variety of rash guards is definately nice.
