What GSM means, typical values for each fightwear product, and why weight alone doesn't tell you quality.
Short answer: GSM (grams per square meter) is fabric weight. Higher GSM usually means thicker, more opaque and more durable fabric; lower GSM means lighter and cooler. Typical ranges: rash guards 180–220 GSM, fight shorts 120–180, training tees 140–180, cotton tees 160–220, hoodies 280–360.
A circle of fabric (usually 100 cm²) is cut with a GSM cutter and weighed; the result is multiplied up to one square meter. Factories check it on incoming fabric to confirm the mill delivered what was ordered.
| Product | Typical GSM | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Rash guard | 180–220 | Opacity and durability |
| Compression leggings | 200–240 | Must stay opaque stretched |
| MMA / grappling shorts | 120–180 | Woven; lighter moves better |
| Training tee (polyester) | 140–180 | Cool, quick-drying |
| Cotton tee | 160–220 | Heavier feels premium |
| Hoodie | 280–360 | Fleece |
Two fabrics at 200 GSM can feel completely different. Fiber, yarn, knit structure and finish all matter. A dense interlock at 180 GSM can be more opaque than a loose jersey at 200 GSM. Always judge with a swatch or sample.
Write a target and tolerance, e.g. "200 GSM ±5%". Without a tolerance you can't reject fabric that's too light.

Not always. Higher GSM is more durable and opaque but warmer and heavier. Match GSM to use.
