The North Face VaporWick Ruckus T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's
The North Face Men's relaxed-fit VaporWick Ruckus Tee keeps you dry and protects you from the sun's hot rays as you head up the trail. Whether you're wet from a water-balloon fight or a sweaty workout, the short-sleeve Ruckus T-Shirt dries quickly and keeps you comfortable. For hot desert hikes or sunny spring mornings, The North Face's VaporWick fabric includes a UPF 30+ sun protection element. This blocks sun rays and keeps you from feeling drained at the end of the day.
Bottom Line: Pull on The North Face VaporWick Ruckus T-Shirt and stay dry as you throw the ol' pigskin around.

I absolutely love these shirts. I have worn them on multiple hikes and they keep me dry and super comfortable. I have also worn them around town and just for normal things and they are great. I would recommend this shirt to anyone.

I've worn this shirt on some light hikes and during intense workouts in the gym. What I like most about it are the soft cotton-like feel, the shape, and the lack of post activity stink. The first time I wore it was for a 3hr training session on the treadmill wearing a 40lb pack. Took it off after the work out and laid it over my pack soaked with sweat out in the garage; next day I went out to throw it into the wash and noticed it didn't stink, so i put it on and wore it for another workout. It also holds it shape better than some of the other more silky type performance tees. Overall great shirt, and it can double as casual attire with shorts or jeans without looking silly.

The AC is broken in my house right now, so whenever I'm at home I make sure to throw on my North Face VaporWick Ruckus T-Shirt. Sure enough, I don't get nearly as hot and I don't feel all sticky. This shirt breathes and wicks moisture extremely well. It also dries super quickly whenever wet. When you go to take your shirt out of the washer, it's damn near dry already. Try it out yourself if you don't believe me!

I bought the shirt a couple weeks ago, and have used it to Hike, Bike, Camp and run. I would say that I used it intensively. After the first camping trip it developped beads of fabric in the front, that are pretty much unoticable accept to me. They have not gotten worse though. Other than that it's great and I really beat the heck out of it.

I bought the North Face VaporWick Ruckus t-shirt for my husband to go running in and he loves it. It keeps him dry and cool while he is running. He has even asked for the same shirt in more colors.

Bought three of these for my son who went on a sailing trip in the Caribbean. As a teen, he wasn't keen on "North Face" clothing (not his style!), but every time I see him, he's wearing one, so that tells you something :)

I usually wear a $5.95 cotton T-shirt so this was a whole new world for me. I like it. It doesn't get clammy wet with sweat, looks good, and has that cool little TNF logo. What more could you ask of a T-shirt?

I had never purchased a dedicated running/hiking shirt before this one. I have alway been weary of the silky looking shirts, felt that they wouldn't look right or hold up well. However, I have been pleasantly surprised my this shirt. It almost looks like cotton and is super comfortable. Wicks away moisture nicely, and looks good doing so. I plan to purchase a couple more in different colors in the very near future.

The Ruckus shirt is a very wise buy. Its fit and finish are good-looking and extremely comfortable. It absorbs moisture very quickly, dries just as quickly, and resists perspiration odor build up. Of course, continuous wearing, i.e. a week-long wilderness adventure may call for a quick rinse and dry following which, you are good to go. Buy it, you will like it.

It has a nice cotton like feel. I like that it's lightweight and breaths well. The fit is just right - loose and not too short. Definitely recommend it.

This is a great shirt. Alone or as first layer, it is comfortable and fits very well. It wicks quickly, dries quickly, and does not quickly absorb perspiration odor. If in the wilderness, rinse it. It dries without odor when worn almost immediately. For laid back or full bore activity, it is comfortable and stylish (if that matters to you). This shirt has it all.

I have had a variety of North Face products in the last 10 years. I've had jackets, shoes, base layers, and now this tee. I really want to like North Face products, I really really do. They are readily available at many stores, and the cost is usually relatively inexpensive compared to other companies. So I continue to give them chances at proving themselves. However, this company only keeps proving to be a jack of all trades but a master of nothing. It seems they have become more interested in making stylish looking products rather than producing items that are functional for actual outdoor use. This tee is no different. Although it may cost half as much as comparable shirts made by Mountain Hardwear or Patagonia, it is half as light, half as comfortable, and half as functional. It's too heavy and too long to be a good running shirt. If you are a weekend warrior looking to buy a product that you can wear just hang'n out as a regular tee shirt, this may be the one for you. But if you are going to seriously run or workout on a regular basis, I would not recommend this tee. The deeper I dive into running and exercising, the more I'm finding out that 99% of the time you get what you pay for with gear. My pappy used to say, "Buy cheap, buy twice..." I couldn't say it better than that. Try the Patagonia Airius T-Shirt ($46) or Mountain Hardwear's Double Wicked Tee ($32). These prices are not out of this world once you see how they perform. I have both of these products and they both out perform the North Face Ruckus.

This t-shirt works really well on three levels: comfort, looks and performance. I would definitely buy one again. I have sweated intensely in it and it has dried quickly and unlike some wicking shirts, it continues to smell fresh.

I'm very happy with this purchase. The VaporWick material itself is very soft and comfortable. I would wear this shirt everyday if I could. I wanted to buy two more shirts in different colors but they're out of stock now. I wear this shirt when I'm running and also just daily use. It keeps you cool and looks great. I wasn't looking forward to paying 25$ per shirt, but I don't regard it at all now.

Perfect Tee for any activity. I use it as a base layer while skiing, go climbing in it, hiking or just wear it around the house because it is so comfortable. Wicks away moisture nicely.

Great cut, more comfortable than other brands used and holds up extremely well when laundered (stays looking good a LONG time). Fabric weight is perfect for layering.... thin and lightweight. Really does what designed to do.... keeps you cool when active and warm when you're kicking back. Worth the bucks!
