Description
The Gear That Barely Tries (So You Don't Have To)
👕 Comfort Colors® 1717 - the good blank.
Heavyweight 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton, garment-dyed so it arrives already soft and lived-in. No stiff cardboard phase. No shrinking surprise after wash one.
🌲 Relaxed unisex fit
Cut roomy on purpose - weekend tee, not gym tee. Order your usual size for the fit in the photos. Between sizes, or want it oversized? Size up. Full measurements in the size chart above.
✏️ Original artwork, drawn by us
Not a design you'll find on ten other stores. Printed to order in the USA, so nothing sits in a warehouse getting old.
🥨 Holds up
Trails, laundry days, and being worn four days running because it became your favorite. That's the intended use case.
Washing Instructions
Keep your new favorite tee looking fresh and trail-ready with these simple care tips:
- Cold water only - hot water is for overachievers
- Turn it inside out - protect that graphic you're gonna wear until it falls apart
- Gentle detergent, no bleach, no fabric softener - this garment-dyed cotton is chill; keep it that way
- First wash might bleed a little - separate it from your fancy stuff, just once
- Hang dry if you can - air drying = more time for snacks. Dryer person? Tumble dry low and take it out promptly, unless wrinkles are your aesthetic
- Ironing? You own an iron? Impressive. Just keep it off the graphic - inside out or use a pressing cloth
Follow these and this shirt will outlast most of your hobbies.
Shipping and Returns
Good Things Take Time (But Not Too Much)
Free US shipping on orders over $50 - because two shirts are better than one, and we both know it.
Every shirt is printed just for you within 2–5 business days (made to order means no warehouse full of forgotten tees). Once it ships, USPS takes it from there - usually 2–5 days more. Track it obsessively or forget it exists until it's a nice surprise; the club supports both lifestyles.
Returns: The "Something Went Wrong" Policy
We want you to love your gear. If something arrives damaged, defective, or just plain wrong, we'll make it right - that's on us.
Here's the deal:
- Damaged or defective? Full refund or replacement, no questions asked
- Wrong size? Email us - we're not going to leave you hanging in a tent-sized tee
- You've got 30 days from purchase to reach out
- Item should be unused and in the condition you received it
- Email hello@barelyhikingclub.com - actual humans read every message
Policy subject to change, but we'll always keep it reasonable.

I love your shirts. I ordered a size a little too big, but they are great. I’m thrilled with them!
Store owner replied: Thanks for your kind words! So glad you're loving them, that really made our day. <3
I didn't believe it would be true to size, but it is
Store owner replied: Ha, we love a pleasant surprise! Thank you, Nancy! Glad the fit worked out perfectly.
Wonderful customer service! T-shirts are made of good quality cotton, and the print is perfect. Love them.
Store owner replied: Thank you so much, Betsy! So glad the quality and print hit the mark - and thrilled you're loving them. Also just wanted to say, it's been genuinely lovely emailing back and forth with you through all of this, you've been such a pleasure to talk to. 🏔️
Let me first start with this. This company went beyond excellent customer service. They absolutely blew my mind. They emailed within several minutes to make my order right. They didn’t make the mistake, I did. But they still wanted to make it right. If I could give this review a gazillon stars I would. This is small family business and they are actually hikers, so they get all the puns which makes it very relatable. Now about the shirts. They are of extremely high quality, using my favorite t-shirt brand Comfort Colors. Shipping was fast. Out of this world customer service. Don’t hesitate to buy one of their many available hiking designs and lots of colors to choose from. You won’t be disappointed.

Store owner replied: Heathermichelle, thank you doesn’t feel like enough here! Reviews like this are exactly why we do what we do. We’re beyond grateful for customers like you - thank you for the kind words, the trust, and for genuinely getting our sense of humor. You’ve made our week!
Very good quality material. Colors are true to what is advertised. It would be preferable if women’s sizes were available. Sizes run slightly smaller than expected.
Store owner replied: Thank you so much, Ulrike! We really appreciate the kind words and the honest sizing feedback. So glad the quality and colors are hitting the mark! 🏔️
