RVCA Training

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do RVCA Sport training fabrics manage sweat and odor during intense sessions?

  RVCA Sport uses moisture-wicking polyester/nylon blends and 4-way stretch knits to pull sweat away from the skin and speed evaporation, helping you stay drier during high-output work. Many pieces also feature anti-microbial treatments and quick-dry constructions to minimize odor and reduce chafing between rounds.
• Which RVCA pieces are best suited for BJJ and grappling?

  For grappling, RVCA rash guards and gladiator-cut or split-seam fight shorts are ideal because they provide close, secure coverage and unrestricted range of motion. Look for reinforced seams, streamlined designs without loose pockets or zippers, and anti-slip waistbands to stay put during clinches and rolls.
• How should I choose the right size and fit for RVCA compression and training gear across activities like MMA, yoga, and running?

  Select a snug, compression fit for activities that benefit from muscle support and reduced bounce—like running and high-intensity training—while opting for slightly less compressive cuts for yoga to preserve full flexibility and breathability. Test full range of motion (squats, kicks, overhead reach) and pick activity-specific cuts—such as mid-thigh gladiator shorts for grappling—to avoid riding up or restricting movement.
• How does the VA Sport Balance Technical Training Tee compare to the RVCA Active Balance Tee Knit Top for gym training?

  The VA Sport Balance Technical Training Tee focuses on performance with a lightweight, quick-dry knit, strong moisture-wicking and pronounced 4-way stretch for intense intervals and conditioning. The RVCA Active Balance Tee Knit Top offers a softer knit hand and a slightly more relaxed mobility profile, making it a good choice when you want a balance of comfort and training-ready features.
• What construction features should I look for in RVCA fight shorts to ensure durability and safety?

  Prioritize reinforced or double-stitched seams, abrasion-resistant nylon/polyester blends with added spandex for 4-way stretch, and split-seam or gladiator-cut designs that reduce seam stress during kicks and grappling. A streamlined silhouette without zippers or loose pockets plus an anti-slip waistband lowers snag risk and keeps the shorts secure through rounds and rolls.
