TOUGHMESH™ FABRIC — THE ITALIAN JOB

A featherweight training shirt that excels during a long ruck and your toughest workouts, dries lightning fast to keep you moving. We built these tees to our exacting standards using proprietary, made-in-Italy ToughMesh™ fabric.

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” - da Vinci

ToughMesh™ is our world-class, featherweight fabric milled at the foothills of the Italian Alps, not far from where da Vinci painted The Last Supper. It took us five years to develop, test and prove a fabric that could thrive in our way of life — no cost, time, or rigor was spared to create a line of apparel that’s tough enough to endure the demands of rucking and training and will dry long before you could drink your first beer, which will be well earned.

We’re proud of the outcome and hope you wear it hard.

Designed, tested, proven, and built in the USA by American craftsmen and women, all GORUCK apparel comes with our Scars Lifetime Guarantee.

Features

  • Built out of world-class, featherweight ToughMesh™
  • Small GORUCK spearhead on chest
  • Off-the-shoulder seams for minimal friction when rucking
  • Built in the USA

Specs and Materials
  • Charcoal: 80% Nylon, 15% Elastane, 5% Polyester
  • Black & Ranger Green: 85% Nylon, 15% Elastane

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 aesthetic of the shirt.
  • 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.

— James F. (5/5)

The Best

"This long sleeve shirt is the best for hot weather and protecting you from the sun! I love it and will buy more if they get some other colors. It’s my go to for being cool. I usually wear an XL but did size down to a large for a tighter fit."

— Mike M. (5/5)

Hard core gear

"The best"

— JEFFREY C. (5/5)

A few years ago, I

"A few years ago, I purchased a Rucking T-shirt made with 74% nylon, 16% Polyester, 10% Elastane. It was a heavier material, and I love it. Unfortunately, I could not find it on your website. Instead, I purchased the Men's Long Sleeve Performance Tee which is expensive for such a thin material IMO."

— LOUIS M. (3/5)

Comfy

"So comfortable, perfect fit. Instant favorite. I’d say size is big - often a large in this a medium - but if you look at the size chart it’s correct - just be sure to check the chart rather than your typical size."

— Elizabeth A. (5/5)

Light weight

"Extremely light weight and dries off very quickly. I’ve gone swimming in it and it was dry within 10 minutes."

— Robert B. (5/5)
