You spend way too long picking the right cam for a placement. Might as well wear a shirt that proves it.
This funny rock climbing tee features “USE PROTECTION” in bold stacked block letters across the back, paired with a hand-drawn line art illustration of a cam seated deep in a splitter crack — carabiner clipped, rope running clean. The front keeps it simple with a small Tannen logo at the chest. Trad climbers will get the joke immediately. Everyone else will have questions.
WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL:
“USE PROTECTION” in stacked block text across the back — bold, unapologetic, and guaranteed to start conversations at the crag
Detailed cam-in-crack illustration with carabiner and rope in minimalist white line art
Clean Tannen logo on the front chest for everyday wear
Designed in Arkansas by climbers who actually place pro and appreciate a solid double entendre
BUILT FOR CLIMBERS:
100% ring-spun cotton, garment-dyed for a soft, broken-in feel from day one
Relaxed, oversized fit — Comfort Colors 1717
Double-needle stitching at collar and hem — holds up through gym sessions, crag days, and post-climb grocery runs
This is the shirt that gets a slow nod from the trad dad racking up at the base and a confused look from everyone in the parking lot. Strong gift energy for the climber in your life who thinks they’re funny (they are).
