Encyclopedia > Wrestling singlet

A wrestling singlet (or simply singlet) is clothing commonly used in amateur wrestling. Looked at closely, it is essentially a pair of shorts and a tank top attached together. It is mostly made from a streching material. The most common material used for making wrestling singlets is spandex, as it streches and can be worn tight to the wrestler's skin. This thightness is beneficial, because the opponent doesn't have a good grip on the other player's clothing.

Looks of a singlet
