“Switchbacks Are Optional” — Heavyweight Unisex Crewneck T-shirt

Classic regular unisex fit with set-in sleeves, a rib-knit collar and taped neck and shoulders. Solid colours are 100% cotton; heathers are cotton-polyester blends. Heavyweight 6.0 oz/yd² (203 g/m²) jersey.

Design story & product details

The marked trail is left empty. An orange-banded post and a row of stakes show the safe way down, but the skier on this heavyweight tee has already left that path behind, launching straight off the slope in a burst of powder. Switchbacks are the slow zigzag route, and the joke is simple: some people skip them. Snow is piled on top of the blackletter words, as if they had been dug out of a drift.

Give it to the skier in your family who never takes the long way down.

Classic regular unisex fit with set-in sleeves, a rib-knit collar and taped neck and shoulders.

Care

  • Machine wash cold, inside out, on a gentle cycle with like colours.
  • Use non-chlorine bleach only when needed; tumble dry low or hang dry.
  • Do not iron the print and do not dry clean.
