TOUGHMESH™ FABRIC — Keep the Rays at Bay

Note on sizing: It runs true to size if you want it a little loose. If you're a natural MEDIUM and used to performance shirt fits, a SMALL will work perfectly.

“I use mine every day the sun is out, and that’s nearly every damn day here in sunny Florida. I love it when I am outside on the move with some weight on my back, that’s my form of mental health, but I have no interest in even having a dermatologist, let alone being on their Christmas card list. You gotta keep the rays at bay and this is how I do just that.” — Jason, GORUCK CoFounder

Featherweight performance ToughMesh with UPF 30+ sun protection that breathes and wicks like crazy, dries with little to no breeze, and packs down to practically nothing. The fabric is world-class ToughMesh, milled in the foothills of the Italian Alps close to where da Vinci painted The Last Supper, and it’s now proven with rucks on our backs all over the world.

“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.

VEST OF POWER

It will keep you f***ing warm.

We built the Vest of Power from the ground up. The first reason we did this is that vests are a near perfect layer — more than a t-shirt but less than a big jacket, and with all the zippered pockets, they’re perfect for traveling. The second reason is that at some point power vests became a statement of environmental bona fides and politics. As for environmentalism — USA built stuff that never fails and won’t end up in a landfill is about as environmentally conscious as it gets.

As for politics, in our Vest of Power you’ll find the American Flag — red, white, and blue — there’s our politics for you.

The GORUCK brand stands for Building Better Americans, the Special Forces way of life, and a life or death approach to building the world’s toughest gear.

Wake up, move your ass. Get a workout in, drink a pot or two of coffee, take a ruck meeting, grab a cold beer at the end of the day, rinse, and repeat. Our tough as nails sweatpants are built for all kinds of "work" including the kinds where you really sweat.

A subtle cuff at the bottom keeps (some) debris out - if nothing gets in, though, roll around in the dirt some more, it'll be OK.

Proudly overbuilt in the USA and backed by the best guarantee on the market, our Scars Lifetime Guarantee.

A HALF ZIP THAT PASSES THE COMMANDO TEST

In WWI, wool was so important to British soldiers on the front lines that knitting wool sweaters was seen as a patriotic duty. By WWII, wool’s reputation was further solidified. However, SAS members spent extended periods in the field, laden with rucksacks and additional equipment, constantly on the move.

After witnessing repeated failures with their traditional wool sweaters, the SAS sought a lighter alternative, reinforcing the shoulders for durability. This became the iconic British Commando Sweater, and the inspiration for what we call the “commando test” — to pass muster, Merino wool must be reinforced in high stress areas. If it’s not, it simply fails too fast like the traditional wool garments that the SAS rejected.

We build ALL GORUCK Merino Wool tops with reinforced paneling on the shoulders so your Merino shirt keeps its structure better over the long haul – representing the standard for performance in the Merino wool category and passing the Commando Test. This ensures that your Merino shirt maintains its shape over time, while still providing all the advantages of Merino, such as odor resistance and perfect temperature regulation, regardless of the adventure or mission at hand.

Fleece-Lined Polartec ® Half Zip Jacket

Two of the toughest performance fabrics meet to make the Indestructible Performance Half Zip. The jacket combines the lightweight, hi-tech warmth of the Polartec® Power Grid™ fabric and the abrasion resistance of our ToughDry® Fabric.

The patented grid construction knit of the Grid Fleece strengthens performance efficiency by increasing warmth and breathability, while also reducing fabric mass. These geometric patterns improve compressibility, sweat-wicking, and add technical style. By reinventing thermal warmth possibilities, Power Grid™ is a minimalist design that maximizes fabric performance.

The elbows and shoulders of the indestructible jacket are reinforced with our ToughDry® fabric that is built with Nylon for added abrasion resistance during low crawls and underneath your ruck. This is the same fabric proven year after year in both Challenge Pants and Challenge Windbreakers at GORUCK Selection. It's tough as nails, lightweight, wicks moisture, and performs flawlessly no matter the environment.

5th Special Forces Group - The Legion

Thirty-nine days after 9/11, teams from the 5th Special Forces Group deployed to the mountainous region of Afghanistan, along the Hindu Kush. The weather was atrocious — sandstorms, black clouds of hail, snow and ice — changing with each mile they traveled, and elevation to elevation. Yet they persevered together, carrying the hopes of the American people, and were victorious.

“Strength and Honor” is the mantra of the 5th Special Forces Group. We honor their legacy.

Our new Task Force Dagger Polartec fleece jacket pays homage to the jackets that were worn by those Special Forces units 20 years ago, and even uses the same Polartec 300 weight fleece. In 1981, Polartec® changed the game for cold weather performance apparel with the invention of polar synthetic fleece. With greater resiliency, lightweight warmth and fast dry times, it remains the industry standard for performance outerwear and breathable fleece jackets.

TOUGH WORKOUT SHORTS

The reason so many people say our Training Shorts are their favorite is because they’re simple, lightweight, and comfortable. They do exactly what they’re supposed to do across all forms of moving your ass and they do NOT have a million features to add bulk and weigh you down. The ToughStretch fabric is tough and it goes with the flow, it dries fast and there is a built-in liner and a discreet zip pocket for your phone or cards. Nothing more, nothing less.

These are trainings shorts as we wanted them. Let the work you do speak for itself.
