The North Face VaporWick Ruckus Approach Short-Sleeve T-Shirt - Men's - 2008 BCS

The shirt LOOKS cool but thats about it.I own a couple of these and I have to admit I am not a huge fan. I've used these on many multi-day hikes and the material is very light and packable. However, the material will start getting little fuzzies and looses alot of its smooth finish after the first wash. I wore some on a 7 day hike to Isle Royale, and I noticed that the material doesn't hold odors well and takes very long to dry. I was far more impressed with the North Face velocitee material and similar shirts by Mountain Hardware.

I'm a HUGE fan of Arc'Ts, but I compared TNF Vaporwick Ruckus with one of Arc'Ts finest, and TNF won hands down. Both in liteness and breathability. It will be very interesting to see the competition's response. No, this does not mean that I've abandoned Arc'T. The graphic inset lets everyone know your pastime pleasure.

Super comfortable, cool graphics. My 13 yr old son loves it.

A tad bit thin, but really really comfortable. It's one of my favorite to wear and performed nicely on the first hike I wore it on.

I got the White colored VaporWick Ruckus Approach T-shirt a few weeks ago and I'm already a big fan. First off, they look great with the TNF print logo on the front, and you can't really tell that it's not a regular 100% cotton Tee. Wicks well when you're sweating your ass off in the hot summer temps. Great t-shirt to wear hiking, biking, climbing, or whatever during the summer. Or hell, wear it year round! It always feels amazing!
