GORUCK TOUGHMESH Performance Tee Review – Sweat, Rinse, Repeat

June 20, 2025 By Thad Forester


You can watch my 4 min review here too:

After 14 months, here is what I like about this GORUCK Men’s Performance Tee – ToughMesh, and a couple minor cons:

  1. Extremely lightweight, therefore takes up minimal space when packing (and wrinkle free). I’ve not had another shirt that was this lightweight intentionally.
  2. Extremely cool. This ToughMesh is actually mesh, so it breathes well and helps wick moisture/sweat
  3. Dries fast. As with most GORUCK apparel, this doesn’t weigh you down while wearing if it’s soaked and air dries very fast
  4. Stretches, so moves easily during my workouts

Reinforced Stitching

The only minor issues I’ve had with this shirt:

  1. The neck stretched out a little
  2. Gray color in the artic camo faded after only 1 year.

These are minor and don’t affect it’s purpose not me wearing it regularly in the summer.

Learn more about it and purchase on GORUCK’s site here.

Other notes:

  1. Sizing: Mine is a large and the right size for me. I’m 6′ 1″, 210 lbs.
  2. GORUCK used to call it Indestructible Performance Tee – Arctic Camo when I got it in April 2024. There is a good chance they’ll change the name again.
  3. As of this post, it’s $45.
