Where’s Karl? Well … He’s still running. Getting closer and closer to Georgia. And once he arrives, chances are, he won’t sit still for long. Backcountry.com Pro Team Athlete and über ultra-runner Karl Meltzer is currently attempting to set a world speed record by running the Appalachian Trail—all 2,174 miles of it—in less than 47 days. That’s over 46 miles per day. See how far he's gone at Whereskarl.com

This tee gives props to his historic effort with Sport Science fabric that wicks like a synthetic, yet feels soft like cotton.

Bottom Line: One foot in front of the other.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

I luv my Karl shirt. Not only is this shirt very comfortable and well made, it will give me an oppurtunity to talk about who Karl is and what it was he was looking to achieve. Even tho he had a run of bad luck and wasn't able to break that record, he at least gave it his all and put forth the effort. I followed his blog while the race was on as I know many ppl did. I fathom sucessfully hiking that trail, but much less running it...at any rate, lol!!! Ill forever be impressed by the effort that guy gave. As for the shirt, not only a conversation piece. Nice fabric, feels good against the skin, well made, fits true to size...great bargain!!!!

As simply as that. The shirt wears nice, looks good and dries quickly. The price is fablous! And then the story is also very good...

He was trying to break the speed record for the Appalachian trail. He didn't make it, but it's a noble effort anyway. Interestingly enough, everything to answer your question, including Karl's profile and a link to the website, is in the description. That info's there for a reason, READ IT BEFORE YOU ASK QUESTIONS!

Where Is Karl? The shirt describes a mission to set a record of through hiking the AT. The shirt speaks of determination and continuing even when the pain is very great. The shirt also provides for a good conversation starter because in the world at large very few have heard of Karl. Were's Karl turns into Who is Karl and the conversation is on. The shirt wears great and the sizing is accurate.

Base layer awesomeness.

By:

The shirt is a good base layer or.. thin layer to protect from freezing temps. Of course its a base layer and wont protect fully but it does some of the job.

Great Shirt

You really got this one right! Who'd where a white shirt on the trail? Who'd where a cotton T on a run? This shirt solves both! I've been following Karl since before Day One, and this shirt will be with me long after the footfalls have died away. Go SpeedGoat Karl! And get this shirt!
