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.
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.
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.
We chose to have the seams sewn Off the shoulder to remove friction while wearing a ruck - which we hope you do often.
“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.”

"Bought on sale. Hoped it’d be decent. FAR exceeded expectations. I’ve worn it daily since purchase - mountain bike rides, rucks, housework, kids football games. I absolutely love this shirt. Even at full price, this thing is a steal. Highly recommended and will buy again."
"Absolutely love these shirts!!! So comfortable and incredible stretch and tough as nails."
"I love this shirt. It is very light and comfortable."
"My order was for L"
"TOUGH MESH MEN’S LONGSLEEVE PERFORMANCE TEE -CHARCOAL 1ST CLASS MATERIAL, LOOK, FIT & CRAFTSMANSHIP — great tee shirt"
"Lightweight yet tough material"
"This shirt is great for hot summer days, the long sleeves keep your forearms protected from the sun. The tough mesh fabric is super lightweight and comfortable and breaths so well it’s like you’re not wearing anything. I would buy again."
"Could have been the greatest shirt of all time. The arms are too long to allow for the thumb holes. No where in the description or pictures does it say it has thumb holes. I don’t understand why you would want your palms covered with a shirt that is designed for working out, picking up bags/weights. I would not order again until the sleeve issue was fixed."
"Same fabric as the shirt sleeve and sun hoodie. If you like them, you’ll probably like this too"
"First use was great and as advertised. I spent several hours in sun and heat, moving wheelbarrows full of mulch. The shirt was comfortable, tough, and protected me well from the sun."
