TOUGHMESH™ FABRIC — THE ITALIAN JOB

A featherweight training jacket that excels during a long ruck and your toughest workouts, dries lightning fast to keep you moving. We built these 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.

Features

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

Specs and Materials

  • Charcoal: 80% Nylon, 15% Elastane, 5% Polyester
  • Black & Ranger Green: 85% Nylon, 15% Elastane
  • Acid Lime: 85% Polyamid, 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.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 6 reviews)

Riley O. ★★★★★

This thing weighs nothing but holds up on a long ruck, and the fabric dries so fast I barely notice the sweat. The full-zip lets me dump heat mid-workout without taking it all the way off.

Benjamin O. ★★★★★

The full-zip is a game-changer—I can peel it off mid-workout without wrestling it over my head, and the ToughMesh dries so fast it’s barely damp by the time I hit the car. Ran a sweaty session and it felt featherweight the whole way through.

Ella H. ★★★★★

Took this on a long ruck and the featherweight fabric lived up to the hype—it dried on my back within minutes of stopping. The full-zip makes it easy to shed when the pace picks up.
