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.

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.

Samuel ★★★★★

Took this on a 10-mile ruck and it was still dry by the end, which honestly shocked me for something this light. The fabric feels almost nonexistent but holds up way better than I expected.

Michael V. ★★★★★

The mesh on this thing is ridiculously breathable — came back from a 10-mile hike with my pack and my back was actually dry. Featherweight is right, I forgot I had it on by mile three.

Abigail ★★★★★

Been wearing this for my morning ruck every day this week, and the long sleeves don't feel heavy or clingy at all once I start sweating. It dries so fast between sets that I barely notice the dampness, which is exactly what I needed for these humid training days.
