Traction Short Sleeve T-Shirt - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This shirt is the definition of lightweight performance. The UV-reflecting MiniR fabric feels cooler than a standard tee, and it dries fast after sweaty climbs. I appreciate the gusseted design because it moves well even when I’m wearing a pack, and the repair patch is a clever touch to keep it in my kit rotation longer."

The Specialized Traction Short Sleeve T-Shirt combines heat management, durability, and comfort into a trail-ready essential. Constructed from MiniR® fabric, it reflects heat and shields against UV rays, helping us stay cooler and more comfortable when the sun is at its peak. Polyester keeps it lightweight and quick-drying, cotton adds natural softness, and spandex brings stretch for unrestricted movement.

Every seam and detail is designed with riding in mind. Forward shoulder seams reduce pressure points when wearing a hydration pack, while underarm gussets eliminate bunching during climbs, descents, and body shifts. The relaxed fit maintains a casual, off-body feel that works on the bike and at the post-ride hangout, giving this tee versatility beyond the trail.

Specialized adds long-term sustainability with an iron-on repair patch kit, ensuring the Traction Tee stays in service after the inevitable snag or crash. Developed with input from elite riders like Loïc Bruni, the fabric and fit choices reflect pro-level preferences for comfort and performance. For riders who want technical function wrapped in a casual silhouette, this T-shirt is a go-to choice for warm-weather sessions.
