Great fit, love the color,
"Great fit, love the color, comfortable for the tough workouts and just lounging. Thanks for delivering another great product."
TOUGHMESH™ weighs only 100GSM (grams per square meter). That’s 30-40% less weight than normal performance fabrics. Cotton/poly tri-blend weighs in at 145 GSM and other performance shirts at 170-190 GSM — it’s a big difference.
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.
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.
ToughMesh™ offers 35 UPF. This means our shirt will provide protection from UV rays. The sun has lots of power, especially in Florida.
An Antimicrobial Treatment was added into the fibers themselves, before the fabric is woven in Italy. This process ensures a significantly longer lifespan of no stink 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.
Every roll of fabric takes 6 hours to complete, using 44 gauge needles. Standard fabric takes 45 minutes and uses 20 gauge needles.
“It took us five years to find the fabric to build the best performance shirt I’ve ever worn. We know how to build stuff right — in this case, what eluded us was world class fabric. Past versions were tough, but weighed too much. They were comfortable, but didn’t dry fast enough. We tested tons of great fabrics over the years that are proven for other uses like cycling or running, but all had a fatal flaw: weakness. It was discouraging to fail over and over and over.”

"This is my new favorite running and event shirt. The fabric and feel is perfect! Zero snags with ruck or items carried. The length is great and fits true to size. I bought multiple colors!"
"Lightweight and the perfect fit. Not too cropped."
"This is one of my favorite tanks to wear. It feels great to wear when I am working out and training others. I also LOVE that it is made in the USA!!!"
"Lightweight, soft, and stylish tank. I like the fit. The length is shorter than what I expected which means I need to up the core work!"
"I love all my GoRuck gear ❤️"
"I bought it for my wife. She loves it."
"I purchased my first performance tank because it was on sale. After wearing it while training for my first Ruck event, I fell in love! I was hesitant to purchase cropped shirt since I am a tall girl, but this one looks and feels great. It is perfect gear for hot weather since the material is thin. It doesn’t stay wet when sweating a lot which is a new experience for me. I purchased 3 more and also got the matching shorts! I am so happy with my purchase!"
"GORUCK ToughMesh engineered for performance is quality. Cut and style of Performance Tank is optimal from WOD to reversing and wearing business casual. Purchased all colors."
"Love this tank!"
