AWESOME under a BJJ gi!!!
(Updated December 2016. Update at the end of the original review.)------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I have been training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) for 2.5 years. I am not one of those brave women who can rock just a sports-bra under my gi. (Kudos to those who are!) Up until now, I have worn a rash guard with compression shorts. I usually wear men's rash guards, because at 5' 10", women's tops are too short. The problem with men's rash guards, however, is they have the high, unflattering, neckline, and they are cut for a guy.I was thinking it would be cool if I could somehow attach my rash guard to my compression shorts to keep from constantly having to readjust/retuck it in. Then one day I was sitting at my son's wrestling match and it hit me-- SINGLET! I had no idea if women's singlets existed, but sure enough, they do!To be quite honest, I purchased this fully expecting to have to return it for one reason or another. I was SO wrong, I am in love with this singlet!!!Pros:Comfort - This is way more comfortable than the rash guard/compression shorts combo.-There is one less layer of material around your waist. Your gi pants will no longer shift your rash guard or compression shorts out of place. As if gi pants were not comfortable enough, these make them even more comfortable!-This thing stays in place! It does not shift or ride up, whatsoever. I do not have to adjust this at all during class!Fit --The material is very forgiving and will fit multiple body types well. It is very stretchy. The material is similar to Under Armour base layers, slightly thicker than their tops, slightly thinner than their shorts.-The neckline is very modest, yet feminine. It is high enough that nothing shows. (I am a B/C cup, so I am not sure how well it will cover those with a larger bust.)-As other reviews suggested, the band around the leg holes is slightly tight, but I just give it a little stretch after I put it on, and then it does not bother me whatsoever.Cost- This singlet is cheaper than a rash guard/compression short combo.Possible Cons:-Not really a con at this point, but I do not know how well this will hold up. It has held up well in the two months I have been training with it. (I will update this review when I can better speak for its durability.)-This does not bother me, since my gi covers it up, but it might bother some. The back of this looks like the front, so the "X" of my sports bra shows quite a bit in back. It doesn't look bad, but it is not the most flattering look, either.-I have the black version, and do not have trouble with it being see through. It is just thin enough that you might have issues with other colors. I could be wrong!No-Gi?Being that this is a wrestling singlet, of course it could be worn for No-Gi. I am just not brave enough. ;o)--------------------December 2016 Update -- I have now been training for 5.5 years. Since discovering this singlet, I wear nothing else under my gi! I do replace them every 6-9 months because they start to lose their compression fit and start showing a bit of wear in the seams. I once tried ordering a navy blue one, but it was more sheer than the black, so I have stuck with black ever since.

Love These
This is great. I purchased other at the same time, trying to get different straps or vibrant colors. However, they were not good at all. This product is solid and has a firm fit. You won't be jiggling with this on. The others that I purchased lacked the firmness, and those straps fell apart during washing. The straps on this is great.

Good entry level singlet
I bought this singlet for my first Olympic Weightlifting competition and was pleasantly surprised when I received it. I was honestly expecting the worst but the singlet provides a bit of compression so I don't look like a flabby sausage but flexible enough where I can move without any discomfort.I went to the Asics site to use their size guide so at 5'6" and in the 63kg weightclass, I bought the small and it fits like a glove. I would maybe go up to medium if I wanted to wear a t-shirt underneath but I don't plan on it.The first time I tried it on, I had a sports bra underneath and it felt really tight. However after several wears, it feels more comfortable so either it's stretched out or I'm just used to it. One con is that the singlet is slightly sheer so even when I wore dark underwear, you could see it when I'm in my starting position. Overall, I'm happy that I bought this singlet.

Snip the leg so you can pee easier.
I wear this because I don't like bras but still have to comply with societies infringement on my autonomy. It covers my boobs and flattens my nipples enough to pass.Of the three I bought, this one dries the fastest and it even feels cooling under a shirt on hot days. Flat smooth seams around the neck and armpits, nice touch. Neckline is low enough to breathe but high enough that it doesn't show boob in awkward positions. Armpits are not tight on me.I'm 5'7", 175lbs, 41"-34"-41"...the xl fit fine but the compression of the fabric was bothersome around my belly sometimes. So I got the xxl, fits exactly the same, and there's maybe a little less compression. Slippery fabric doesn't stick to other layers. No center seam in crotch so no cameltoe and no weggie...BIG plus if you're wearing this on its own. Haven't noticed it being see through when stretched. Not padded, so you will show nip. Compression holds them down somewhat.The leg elastic is small, I cut the front half of it off, from seam to seam, and that made it fit fine while the remaining elastic stops the fabric from rolling up. Bonus is now its flexible enough that I can pull the leg over to the side to pee.You'd think they'd make womens stuff with flys for women, but I guess what can I expect in a world where modesty standards are stricter for women and are routinely placed above comfort.This'll get me through though. Hopefully the next Gen won't have to deal with this stuff. Til then, this is a pretty well made suit and top of the three I tried.

Wrestlers were way more comfortable
This helped out a lot of our female wrestlers. The "gifted" ladies use to spend half the match pulling there singlet up, costing precious moments in a match. With these singlets it's high enough they don't have to worry any longer.

Perfect fit! Amazon is Amazing!
Before I start my review about the product, I would like to commend AMAZON for your excellent customer service. My daughter will use this for her wrestling tournament. Expected delivery is 03/01 Sunday at 8pm, our flight is 03/01 Sunday 2pm. I told my daughter that I trust AMAZON and we will get the package before we leave. It came at 10:30am just in time to leave going to the airport. AMAZON is amazing! As for the product, it fits perfect! My daughter loved it and she’s ready to win the gold in the OFSAA wrestling tournament:)

Great suit for price!
I was impressed with the quality, material and fit, especially for the price. The material is not see through, is comfortable to lift in and is as described. My only issue is that it is a bit tight around the legs where it has the seams fitted so the legs don't roll up. Not a major issue though, I would still recommend.

Buen producto
Buena relación calidad-precioLa talla viene un poco ajustada (revisar bien la tabla de medidas). Yo normalmente usaría chico, compre uno mediano y me queda bien .Lo usé para una competencia de halterofilia. Muy bien porque no se sube de las piernas

Well made, great fit
I got this wear under my leather race suit. I'm a size 14 and the XL fits comfortably. It covers everything I need it to so after the race I can just throw a pair of jeans over it.
