Choosing the rashguard
Built for women who spend hours on the mats, the Meridian covers no-gi rounds, gi days as a base layer, and outdoor conditioning where sun protection matters. Long sleeves help reduce mat burn and glove rash during grappling and clinch work. The UPF 50+ rating suits drilling outside or running between sessions. Quick-dry fabric means it won’t stay heavy after hard work, making it a reliable pick for MMA, grappling, and cross-training.
Expect a close, second-skin fit that stays put under a gi and minimizes bunching. If you prefer a looser feel or have broad shoulders, consider sizing up. Between sizes, base your choice on chest circumference and shoulder mobility rather than height. The long sleeve runs true for arm length in most cases; if you have an unusually long torso, a size up can help keep the hem anchored during scrambles.
The Meridian uses a smooth, quick-dry polyamide knit that sheds sweat and dries fast between sessions. The fabric delivers reliable coverage with a low-bulk hand, so it layers under a gi without hotspots. Long sleeves add abrasion protection across the forearms for grip fighting and pummeling. The UPF 50+ coverage is built in, supporting outdoor work without needing an extra layer.
Rinse after training, then cold wash with similar synthetics. Skip bleach and fabric softener, and line dry out of direct heat to preserve fabric hand and shape. Keep it away from hook-and-loop edges in your gym bag. Rotate between two tops if you train daily to extend life. Within Apollo’s rash guard lineup, Meridian is a straightforward women’s long-sleeve option with sun protection; other models in the range offer different looks and cuts if you want a change in style.
