Shoyoroll Vital Principles Rashguard – Batch #112 Long Sleeve No-Gi Top

The Shoyoroll Vital Principles Rashguard is a long-sleeve grappling top for people who train hard and still want to look sharp. It comes from Shoyoroll Batch #112 Vital Principles, a small and limited drop. It fits close to the body, so it stays in place when you scramble, shrimp or fight for grips.

Most of us own a pile of plain training shirts. However, a real rashguard feels very different once you start to roll. The long-sleeve top moves with you, so you can focus on your game instead of your clothes.

A Closer Look at the Shoyoroll Vital Principles Rashguard

Here is what you will notice in the photos:

• Black two-toned body
• Neon yellow sleeve stripes and graphics

Its original Shoyoroll product name was “Training Rash Guard LS (VITAL) Black”. Every Shoyoroll drop has its own story, and this one is no different. As a result, it is the kind of top that people ask about at open mat.

Build and Fabric Notes

The key build points are simple:

• From the Shoyoroll Technical Series line
• Produced in California

In short, it is a top for real training, not just for the gym selfie.

How the Shoyoroll Vital Principles Rashguard Feels on the Mats

Whether you drill for an hour or roll for two, comfort matters. That is why this top keeps a close, light fit from the first warm-up to the last round. Plus, you can wear the rashguard under your kimono on gi days. Because it dries quickly, it is also handy for back-to-back classes.

Who Will Love the Shoyoroll Vital Principles Rashguard

This top suits almost anyone who trains. For example, a new white belt gets a tough top that also looks good, while a black belt gets a rare piece for the collection. Also, collectors love Shoyoroll drops because each batch has a short run. So whether you roll three times a week or teach every night, it fits right into your bag.

Build a Full No-Gi Kit

Pairing is simple when the top carries the design. For instance, black fight shorts keep the look clean, while spats add warmth in winter. In addition, the top slides under a gi jacket with no fuss. That way, one piece covers both your gi and no-gi days.

Size and Fit Advice

You can choose from sizes XS to 3XL. A rashguard should feel tight but not tight enough to limit your breathing. So start with your usual T-shirt size. Then size up if you prefer a looser feel or have a broad chest. When in doubt, message our team with your height and weight, and we will point you to the best fit.

Keep It Fresh

• First, turn it inside out before washing.
• Then pick a cold, gentle cycle.
• Also, skip bleach and fabric softener.
• Finally, let it air dry instead of using high heat.

That way, the colors stay sharp and the fit stays snug for a long time.
