Best Of The Wicking Tees

By:
November 2, 2008

These shirts hardly get wet in light rain, and if they do get soaked they dry super fast. When I wash them I don't even really have to put them in the dryer. They're also really soft. After I purchased my first one I got two more because I liked them so much. I have noticed when you wear a pack around the shoulders the shirt will get "bumpy", but it's not really that bad at all. I also like the fact that the neck wasn't too loose liked I've noticed with other North Face cotton shirts. If you are concerned about size, they fit true. If you normally wear a MED, get a MED. Overall, well worth the expense! Five stars for you Ruckus Tee!

Wicking Shirts Rock

By:
October 21, 2008

This shirt is the least expensive wicking t-shirt I have seen and for me it is a good one. It is loosely cut like most cotton tees. It feels similar to but better that cotton. It wicks great if sweating. If you have ever hiked in a cotton shirt while wearing a backpack took the pack off and when putting it back on experienced that cold uncomfortable feeling from the wet shirt being press against your skin you will never experience that again with this shirt. I have gotten caught in the rain with this shirt on and even though the shirt was completely soaked I felt dry and comfortably warm, similarly to a wool garment without the itch. I have had mud ground into the shirt and it washed out after two tries. The only negative about the shirt is after wearing a backpack while hiking the fabric of the shirt that the pack was rubbing against has started to pill (get bumpy).

Awesome shirt

By:
October 14, 2008

My girlfriend bought me one of these a few months ago. I used it for running, hiking, biking, and even casual wear. It's an incredibly soft shirt, like an old cotton shirt, but it wicks away sweat to keep you dry. I've since purchased 3 more shirts b/c I love 'em so much. I really like the fact that it doesn't look or feel like a typical performance/active wear dry shirt. It looks and feels like a normal, cotton t-shirt.

This shirt fits well and stretches with your body so as not to restrict movement when you're working out or playing a sport. Dries faster than a regular cotton tee.

super comfortable

By:
September 5, 2008

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.

Super lightweight & breathable

By:
July 30, 2008

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!

Good all around shirt

By:
July 30, 2008

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.

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?

Sweet Shirt

By:
May 14, 2008

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.

go ruckus

By:
May 13, 2008

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.

Go Ruckus

By:
May 13, 2008

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.

North Face is slowly fading...

By:
April 12, 2008

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.

Vapor Wick is an excellent shirt

By:
July 16, 2007

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.

The North Face Rules!

By:
March 10, 2007

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!
