Backcountry BGA Tahoe Sun Short-Sleeve Crew - Men's

Breathable Tahoe Sun Short-Sleeve Crew designed for comfort in sunny conditions

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I wear this on hot days when I want coverage without overheating. The fabric feels soft against the skin, dries quickly, and stretches enough that I don’t notice it while moving. It’s easy to wear all day, whether I’m active or just hanging out."

We designed the Backcountry Tahoe Sun Short-Sleeve Crew as part of the Tahoe Collection to keep us comfortable and protected as we venture beyond in sunny conditions. The airy fabric construction combines polyester and spandex, boasting excellent moisture management and stretch to keep us feeling fresh and moving freely.Built-in stretch supports natural movement, while UPF 50+ protection adds confidence for extended hours in the sun. The result is a crew that feels casual enough for everyday wear but performs when conditions heat up.
