    i was looking at getting a rash guard and they say small, medium large etc. but doesnt have a sizing chart. in under armor i wear a large. i am 5'9 155lbs and was wondering on what size i needed that would fit the best.

    well, ive only tried two. Im about 5'7, and 135lbs

    the medium hayabusa's are kinda loose, but still a decent fit

    the medium full contact fighter I tried was so damn tight

    I usually have to go up a size in rashguards from my normal t-shirt size, but I think it also depends on your body type. I"m short and stocky, so the compression shirt fit winds up being too tight around the shoulders and arms if I get my regular shirt size.

    I too am short and stocky 5'6'' 180 lbs

    Buying rash guards one size above my regular t-shirt size (XL instead of L) has worked out just fine for the 2 Tapout rashies I own

    I'd say you would probably need a medium.
