Well after several more workouts followed by washing, this time machine washed inside a pillow case, and line dryings I am pleased to say nothing has changed with the appearance, no pilling caused by washing, no fading, no peeling graphics.

However like all microfiber/spandex clothes I have managed to snag this RG. A set of CSI gloves velcro managed to get my left sholder today(why they don't have covers over the wrist straps like their boxing gloves is beyond me). However I am pleased to report a few quick tugs and the snags basically fixed itself. It seems that all my microfiber type shirts have heavy snagging on the left sholder. I think all of them are caused by velcro. I know that I shoulder block punches alot so I would say that is the cause.

Also today I which I spent very actively on my back fending off a former Div II class wrestler, I did notice that the area covered by the gorilla itched slightly, however it was not to the point of being annoying, and if I wasn't trying to detail every experience with this RG I doubt I would have noticed at all.

I have gotten more use to the apperance on me. I feel less like a sausage each time I wear it.(maybe with all this rolling I'm losing weight)(conclusion XFGear rashgaurds will make you lose weight JJ)

The people who have seen it on say nothing but postive things. Since most people around here wear UA or Knock Off brands alot of them have asked about where I got it and if it is that much better that UA. And since it prices only a couple bucks more than a UA I can't think of a reason not to buy it.

I honestly think it is superior in several ways. The first being appearance. Its hard to beat the look of this RG. Right down to the gorilla and the big XFGear on the front. The fit beats UA for grappling as well, you can tell its a purpose built item. It does what it is designed to do, protect you on the ground while you roll around. I think it will win the durablitly contest, I can already tell that the stitching is stronger and the fabric seems to be more durable and I think it actaully breathes better than Hot Gear as well.

Since I seem to like a tight fit rash guard more and more and can't find a loose long sleeve I like. I am now considering purchasing the new SSF long sleeve when it finally comes out(the one with the triangle badging) or I might even purchase another XFGear long sleeve sans gorilla.

Well a quick update, although I was out off the mats for awhile I am still testing this RG. And so far so good. the one advantage to not being about to grappling is it leaves more time for cardio and rehab. So now that I'm minus a few pounds this RG fights even better. And looks better too. There are a few little catches from the velcro on some gloves on the left sholder but nothing that interfers with the function or overall appernance of the RG. Still think that this is a decent item for a good price if you like a tight fit RG.
