Fight natural This is fight wear that works with your body — not against it.
A polyester-free alternative

Why bamboo

The smarter choice for fight wear.

Most MMA and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) gear is made from synthetic, plastic-based fabrics. They’re cheap — and not designed with your body or the environment in mind.

We chose a different path.

Our fight wear is made using bamboo viscose fabric — a high-performance, natural-based material that delivers comfort, durability, and breathability without the downsides of traditional synthetics.

Fight Natural.

Benefit #1

Fewer Skin Infections

Not a miracle. Just a better environment.

Many in the fight community report fewer recurring skin issues after switching to natural fibres — especially when combined with good hygiene practices.

No fabric can prevent skin infections on its own.

Proper hygiene, clean mats, and consistent washing habits will always be essential.

But choosing breathable, natural fibre fight wear can help avoid creating the kind of environment bacteria thrives in.

Less trapped moisture.

Less lingering odor.

Less working against your skin.

Benefit #2

Superior comfort

Training means heat, sweat, and constant skin contact. What you wear matters.

Bamboo viscose is:

  • Naturally breathable, helping regulate temperature during intense rolls
  • Moisture-wicking, keeping skin drier for longer
  • Naturally odor-resistant, reducing the build-up of odor-causing bacteria
  • Soft and smooth, making it ideal for sensitive or irritation-prone skin

Many athletes are now moving toward natural fibre fight wear as a way to reduce discomfort associated with synthetic materials.

No hype. Just better materials.

Benefit #3

Less Odor Starts with Better Fabric

Odor in training gear isn’t just sweat — it’s bacteria trapped in fabric.

Synthetic polyester fight wear can:

  • Trap heat and moisture
  • Hold onto odor even after washing
  • Require heavy detergents to stay “fresh”

Bamboo viscose helps by creating a more breathable, less hospitable environment for odor-causing bacteria.

Cleaner feel. Less smell.

Benefit #4

Built to perform

Your gear needs to move with you, not against you.

Bamboo fight wear delivers:

  • Lightweight breathability for long sessions
  • Temperature regulation to help prevent overheating
  • Reduced odor retention compared to many synthetic fabrics
  • All-day comfort, even during back-to-back training

Whether you’re grappling, drilling, or competing, bamboo BJJ rash guards and MMA compression wear are designed to perform under pressure — while staying comfortable on skin.

Benefit #5

Lower Impact.

Bamboo is one of the most sustainable raw materials available.

Compared to many conventional fibres, bamboo:

  • Grows rapidly without pesticides
  • Requires significantly less water
  • Regenerates naturally from its own root system
  • Offers a renewable alternative to petroleum-based fabrics

By choosing eco-friendly bamboo fight wear, you’re reducing reliance on synthetic materials that contribute to microplastic pollution.

Better gear shouldn’t come at the planet’s expense.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Bamboo fight wear is well-suited to MMA and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) because it’s breathable, moisture-managing, and comfortable against the skin. It helps regulate temperature during intense training while remaining soft and flexible for grappling and movement.

Bamboo fabric is known for being naturally odor-resistant, which means it’s less likely to retain strong smells compared to many synthetic materials. By managing moisture more effectively, it creates a less favourable environment for odor-causing bacteria.

It depends on what you value. Polyester rash guards are cheap and common, but they can trap heat and hold odour. Bamboo-based rash guards offer a more breathable, softer alternative that many athletes prefer for comfort and freshness during training.

Bamboo viscose is widely chosen for its soft, smooth texture, making it a popular option for people with sensitive or irritation-prone skin. It’s designed to feel gentle during extended wear and high-friction activities like BJJ.

No fabric can prevent infections on its own. Proper hygiene, clean mats, and good training practices are essential. However, breathable, moisture-managing fabrics like bamboo may help create a less favourable environment for bacteria compared to some synthetic materials.

Yes. Modern bamboo fabric blends used in fight wear are engineered for durability, stretch, and recovery — making them suitable for intense training while maintaining comfort.

Bamboo is considered a more sustainable raw material because it grows quickly, requires less water, and doesn’t typically need pesticides. It also provides an alternative to petroleum-based synthetic fabrics commonly used in fightwear.

5/5

"ICON has some of the most comfortable training wear I’ve used. The bamboo blend feels noticeably better than standard polyester fight wear during training - and it’s good knowing I’m not wearing straight plastic material on my skin all day."

5/5

"In 10 years of training I've never worn gear this comfortable and durable. The bamboo makes the most noticeable difference after tough rounds and long training sessions, you feel the air flowing rather than feeling trapped in a sweaty rashie..."
