Note on sizing: It runs true to size if you want it a little loose. If you're a natural MEDIUM and used to performance shirt fits, a SMALL will work perfectly.
“I use mine every day the sun is out, and that’s nearly every damn day here in sunny Florida. I love it when I am outside on the move with some weight on my back, that’s my form of mental health, but I have no interest in even having a dermatologist, let alone being on their Christmas card list. You gotta keep the rays at bay and this is how I do just that.” — Jason, GORUCK CoFounder
Featherweight performance ToughMesh with UPF 30+ sun protection that breathes and wicks like crazy, dries with little to no breeze, and packs down to practically nothing. The fabric is world-class ToughMesh, milled in the foothills of the Italian Alps close to where da Vinci painted The Last Supper, and it’s now proven with rucks on our backs all over the world.

About ToughMesh™:
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” - da Vinci. T’s transition easily from the driveway to the streets to the bar. With and without a ruck on your back.
ToughMesh™ weighs only 100GSM (grams per square meter). That’s 30-40% less weight than normal performance fabrics.
To make the fabric tough enough, we use nylon (then add a little stretch). The polyester version repeatedly failed our testing and cost us an extra year that we’ll never get back.
Every roll of fabric takes 6 hours to complete, using 44-gauge needles. Standard fabric takes 45 minutes and uses 20-gauge needles. Quality takes time.
Mini-perforations are woven into the fabric to increase airflow, speed up dry time, and decrease weight. They’re small and mighty but do not dominate the shirt's aesthetic.
Antimicrobial treatment is added into the fibers themselves, before the fabric is woven in Italy. This process ensures a significantly longer lifespan of odor resistance across repeated washings. Lesser fabrics are simply “coated” after they’re milled - which wears off in just a few cycles of a high-powered washing machine.
UPF 35 (this provides 97%+ coverage) to protect your skin from the sun.
Off-the-shoulder seams remove friction while wearing a ruck - which we hope you do often.
