Why HexTide

The Perfect Tee

Ever find a sick design only to be disappointed by a scratchy, ill-fitting boxy tee that jacks up to your belly button when you stick your arms up? Why do 95% of t-shirts suck so much?

That began the quest: design the perfect t-shirt

The goal had 3 parts:

  1. A material blend perfect for hot, wet environments. 100% cotton shirts are soft but they absorb water like a sponge, take forever to dry, hold bacteria, and make you hot. Our tri-blend tees are airy, lightweight, breathable, fast drying, and hyper soft. They are perfect for adventures on the water, or for everyday use on land.
  2. A cut and fit actually designed for the human body. Most tees are way too short with droopy sleeves. We wanted a slightly fitted cut that correctly contours your arms but isn't too tight, and a length that won't hike up yet isn't baggy. The perfect balance was hard to achieve, but we did it. They run true to size and those who prefer less fitted can size up.
  3. Prints that don't feel like rubber. Most screen printed or vinyl pressed shirts feel awful: you rub your fingers across the print and its like nails on a chalkboard. It's thick ink, scratchy, and begins to break apart and crack after only a few washes. Our special ink technology is water based and smooth touch that lasts 10x as long.

The Perfect Sun Shirt

In the US, more than 9,500 people are diagnosed with skin cancer every day. 1 in 5 people will develop skin cancer in their lifetime.

If you're out in the sun all day, sunscreen is not enough. You need to cover up, but you also want to stay as cool and dry as possible.

That began the quest: design the perfect waterproof longsleeve

The goal had 3 parts:

  1. A material and thickness to provide 50 SPF without feeling too thick and remaining ultra soft.
  2. A cut and fit actually designed for the human body. Most sun shirts are too short and hike up when you raise your arms, and stick to your body like a wetsuit. We've achieved the perfect balance of comfort and fit that's available with or without a hood.
  3. Prints that don't feel like rubber. Most screen printed or vinyl pressed shirts feel awful: you rub your fingers across the print and its like nails on a chalkboard. It's thick ink, scratchy, and begins to break apart and crack after only a few washes. Our special ink technology is water based and smooth touch that lasts 10x as long.

The Perfect Featherweight Sweatshirt

We don't know why other companies don't make these.

Thick hoodies are nice when its freezing out... but what about those in-between temperature days where its too chilly for a t-shirt but not cold enough for a hoodie?

This is why we designed the featherweight sweatshirt: perfect for those cool but not cold days. Hyper lightweight and insanely comfortable.

If you're one of those "I'm always hot" people... this is for you.

When people first try these on, they can't believe they've lived this long without them.

You can even wear it without anything under it.

The Perfect Heavyweight Hoodie

The highest quality, coziest, most comfortable hoodie you've ever worn. Period. Our 10oz heavyweight hoodies are perfect for those cold days.

Front pocket designs paired with large back designs that aren't blocked when the hood is down.

Build to last: Cotton and fleece blend with nickle eyelets that won't wear out or tear.
