Size
The first step is to establish the size you need. The following
chart will help match the right singlet to the right size athlete.
If your daughter or son is on a border weight it's best to go up
rather than down. This way the singlet will last longer.

Style
There are number of different styles to choose from including a
high cut and a low cut version. Generally high cut singlets are
used predominantly in folkstyle or collegiate wrestling (US high
school/college wrestling) while the low cut singlets are used for
freestyle and greco-roman wrestling. Collegiate singlets are cut
higher in the neckline as well as in the arms while freestyle
singlets are cut lower in the neckline and lower in the arms. Both
styles tend to extend to just above the knee.
Color
Wrestling singlets come in many different colors including maroon,
scarlet, gold, white, green, black as well as the more traditional
red and blue. In fact, all most every sport color imaginable is
available. Although you tend to pay more for not traditional
colors.
If
your son or daughter is wrestling freestyle or Greco-Roman they
will likely need both a blue and a red singlet (as required by the
international wrestling federation, FILA). Other colors are
available for these styles, but red and blue are required at most
national and international wrestling tournaments. For best value,
you may want to purchase a reversible (red and blue) singlet. A
reversible singlet will usually save you at least one third to one
quarter of the full price of two separate singlets.
Fabric
Singlets are made predominantly from either Lycra, nylon or a
combination of the two fabrics. The all Lycra singlets are usually
lighter and generally tend to fit better.
