Thanks to American Backcountry for sending me these great tees! As always, all opinions are my own.

My husband can be pretty tough to shop for, but after gifting him a couple American Backcountry tees for his birthday back in September, I knew more of their eco-friendly shirts would make a great Christmas gift. He’s mentioned multiple times how much he likes the material these shirts are made from, as well as how comfortable they are. Both of his previous shirts have made it into his weekly rotation, and I know these new tees are going to quickly become favorites.

American Backcountry is an innovative brand that utilizes plastic bottles in the making of each shirt. Their REPREVE® fabric is recycled, fast-drying, and eco-friendly! Plus, they’re very soft and each shirt is made from at least five recycled water bottles. Check out some of my favorites that I’ll be gifting to my husband this Christmas!

The first shirt I chose for Tyler is this Glacier National Park T-Shirt in their Repreve DTG fabric. We took a road trip for our honeymoon (TEN years ago now!) and our first big stop was Glacier. I will never forget the gorgeous hikes and stunning views we experienced, and crazily enough, neither of us bought a t-shirt souvenir. So hopefully when he sees this shirt on Christmas it will remind him of our epic honeymoon and maybe give him the idea to take our whole family back. One can hope, anyway!

The second shirt I chose is the Bear Moon shirt in Clay Triblend. I absolutely love the color of this tee, and since American Backcountry uses dye-sublimation to add designs to their shirts, the ink is infused directly into the fabric. There are no limits to the amount of colors that can be used, and this design has such rich, vibrant depth to it. This t-shirt is American Backcountry’s ode to the roaming bear, and I know Tyler’s going to love it.

This Trailhead T-Shirt in Charcoal Triblend was one of my first picks for Tyler. Celebrating trails from the mountains to the sea, this shirt really sparks the wanderlust in me and makes me want to take another trip ASAP! Funnily enough, we spent a week in the Pacific Northwest this spring and are headed down to the Florida coast this winter, so we’ve been coast to coast through the mountains to the sea in the past year! Our family loves to travel and we can’t wait to take more vacations as a family.

Continuing on the wanderlust train, this Wander More shirt is right up Tyler’s alley also. I love the “van life” theme; we’ve talked about the dream of traveling the United States in a van with our kids! This t-shirt’s theme is “you only live once, so don’t wait for tomorrow” and I think that’s a great mantra.

The last tee I chose for Tyler is American Backcountry’s Night Flight tee in Ash Grey Triblend. The image on this shirt is beautiful, and it makes me want to head out into the country where only the stars and moon light up the night. In person the colors are even brighter and I think this may be my favorite design.

I know Tyler is going to be thrilled when he opens these on Christmas, and they’d make great gifts for any adventurous person on your shopping list this year!

    These are awesome shirts!! I love that they are eco friendly and have so many awesome prints to choose from!! My hubby is getting a few of them for Christmas! I choose the Wander More and the Bear Moon shirts too! We call our baby “Bear,” so I know the shirt will remind my hubby of the baby!

    I love the American Backcountry t-shirts for my sons. They love that they are different from what others are wearing and the fact that they are moisture wicking and beautiful muted colors. I love the Destination Tee Shirt series with the animals.

    I really like the look of these shirts and hearing how comfortable they are would make them the perfect gift for many in my family. It is amazing that they utilize plastic bottles in making these shirts.

    These shirts look really nice, and even better they look so soft! My husband would love a few of these, and so would I! I love wearing comfy t-shirts and we are both huge outdoors people. I absolutely love that they utilize plastic bottles when making each shirt, I give my full support to any company that does this! Thank you so much for sharing, I am going to go buy a few right now.
