Proud members only: this funny hiking shirt reads “The Uphill Struggle. Proud member.” A chipped enamel camp mug of tea, tag hanging over the side, sits on an unfolded trail map on a flat rock, which tells you exactly how the climb is going.
For the hiker who treats every steep section as a reason to stop and put the kettle on. A good gift for hikers who would rather read the map over tea than follow it uphill.
Printed on a Comfort Colors 1717: heavyweight 6.1 oz, 100% ring-spun cotton, garment-dyed for a faded, lived-in color, relaxed unisex fit, pre-shrunk. Available in Blue Jean, Bay and Espresso, sizes S–3XL. Printed in the USA.
The uniform of slow hikers.
Most "outdoor" shirts are thin enough to read a map through. This isn't that. The Comfort Colors 1717 is a heavyweight — the kind of tee that already feels like your favorite shirt the first time you put it on, and somehow keeps getting better the more you beat it up.
Wear it on the trail. Wear it to the campfire. Wear it the three days after when you're too sore to do much of anything. It holds up.
🏔️ Relaxed adventure fit — boxy and easygoing, doesn't cling when you do decide to move.
🏔️ Heavyweight 6.1 oz cotton — 100% ring-spun, meaning the cotton is twisted into a tighter, smoother yarn. Substantial. You'll feel the difference against a $10 big-box tee.
🏔️ Garment-dyed — the tee is dyed after it's sewn, not before. That's where the faded, lived-in color comes from, and why no two come out exactly alike. It only ages better.
🏔️ Built to actually last — two rows of stitching on every hem and a tight, dense weave, made for real outside, not a photoshoot.
🏔️ Pre-shrunk — fits the same after 50 washes as it did on day one. No surprises in the dryer.
🇺🇸 Printed & shipped in the USA.
Gear Care: Keeping Your Low Summit Tee Alive
You bought a heavyweight, garment-dyed tee. A little care and it'll hold that faded, lived-in look for years. Ignore it and, well — it's still a great shirt, you'll just get there faster. A few trail rules:
🏔️ First wash, fly solo. Garment-dyed cotton can shed a little pigment its first time in the water. Wash it alone or with like colors so it doesn't take a white sock down with it.
🏔️ Inside out, always. Flip it before it goes in. The print rides out the spin cycle on the inside, away from all the agitator drama, and stays sharp.
🏔️ Cold water only. Cold wash, mild detergent. Hot water is for coffee, not your tee.
🏔️ No bleach, no softener. Harsh stuff fights the earthy dyes and flattens the texture. Skip both and the shirt stays itself.
🏔️ Low heat or fresh air. Tumble dry low, or hang it — air drying is the move. If it goes in the dryer, pull it out while it's still warm to dodge the wrinkles.
🏔️ Iron only if you must. If you're a crisp-tee person: inside out, low heat. Never run a hot iron straight over the design. That's the fastest way to ruin a perfectly good summit view.
