King of the Road: The 10-4 Collection by Poncho Outdoors

When it comes to crafting performance outdoor apparel that effortlessly bridges the gap between rugged utility and classic Americana style, Texas-based outfit Poncho Outdoors stands in a league of its own.

Inspired by the golden era of long-haul trucking, CB radio culture, and open-highway freedom, their all-new 10-4 Collection reimagines traditional trucker shirts through a cutting-edge technical lens.

Engineered with breathable, stretch-infused fabrics, UPF 50+ sun protection, and clever concealed features, these six standout shirts are built for endless miles on the tarmac and long days off the grid.


Built for gents who refuse to take their foot off the accelerator, The Hammer Down combines iconic Western pearl-snap styling with Poncho’s signature lightweight performance nylon.

Featuring built-in four-way stretch, UPF 50+ sun protection, and rapid moisture-wicking technology, this long-sleeve workhorse comes fully loaded with easy-open magnetic chest pockets, a hidden zipped security pocket, and an integrated microfibre lens cloth. It offers timeless open-road grit perfectly matched with uncompromised technical performance.


When chilly morning highway starts demand a bit of extra thermal insulation, The Pitstop delivers in spades. Crafted from Poncho’s ultra-soft, medium-weight performance flannel, this Western-inspired long-sleeve layer delivers exceptional temperature regulation and tear resistance without the heavy bulk of traditional cotton flannels.

Outfitted with durable pearl snaps, subtle rear ventilation, and built-in stretch, it is the ultimate mid-layer for brisk autumn road trips and late-night campfire debriefs.


Named in honour of the classic long-hood semi-trucks that defined American highway culture, The Long Nose Pete is a feature-packed long-sleeve technical button-down. Rendered in a handsome maroon, aqua, and white plaid, it utilises a high-tech nylon-spandex blend that dries in minutes and offers best-in-class UV defence.

With hidden collar snaps to prevent annoying wind flap, a dedicated sunglasses holder, and a vented back, it is a masterclass in highway-ready design.


When the mercury rises along desert highways, The Big Rig brings heavy-duty cooling power in a sleek short-sleeve silhouette.

Blending classic Western yoke lines and pearl snap closures with a vented rear cape and ultra-lightweight performance fabric, this short-sleeve shirt keeps you cool, dry, and protected from harsh ultraviolet rays whether you are behind the wheel, hauling gear, or grabbing a well-earned pint at the local diner.


Unapologetically tough and engineered for non-stop action, The Truck Norris is a short-sleeve performance shirt that packs an absolute punch.

Cut in Poncho’s popular Original silhouette, it features a clean button-front aesthetic packed with secret utility—including dual magnetic closure chest pockets, built-in stretch for total freedom of movement, and quick-drying properties that make spontaneous roadside river dips a breeze.


Adding a fiery dash of colour and character to the lineup, The Hot Sauce is a high-performance flannel designed to spice up your cold-weather rotation. Crafted from tear-resistant, odour-resistant performance flannel fabric, it pairs supreme brushed softness with active moisture management and stretch mobility.

Whether layered under a waxed canvas trucker jacket or worn open over a casual tee, it brings bold personality and serious comfort to everyday adventures.


Whether you are embarking on an ambitious cross-country overland expedition or simply seeking a tough, technical layer for weekend trail outings, the 10-4 Collection from Poncho Outdoors delivers highway-ready style and field-tested performance built for the long haul.
