As we often tend to say on this Brooklyn style blog, you tend to not know just quite what you need in terms of the best gear for men until the going gets tough and you realize that a slight upgrade might make a big difference.

That goes for the right pair of sneakers as much as the perfect pair of denim or a rugged set of canvas workwear pants, and perhaps even one of the best men’s T-shirts might fit the bill quite nicely as far as your next spring gear lineup is concerned.

Serving as a crucial base layer whether worn underneath a zip hoodie, teamed with a chambray shirt or styled with care underneath one of the best trucker jackets for men, it’s not hard to see why something like Huckberry’s take on the Proof 72-Hour Merino T-shirt could become practically indispensable these days.

And as a fella often on the road, I similarly often find myself considering plentiful ways to upgrade my travel kit and my lineup of the best gear for travel, from the dopp kit I pack up to the travel watch I wear and of course, one of the most comfortable tees I toss on before taking to the skies: That’d be the Proof 72-Hour Merino T-shirt, a longtime favorite of this writer and on this blog, now available in a new fit and a wide range of crisp, easily wearable colors.

The good folks at Huckberry deliver the goods when it comes to the best gear for travel, and that goes for this performance-minded merino T-shirt. It wicks away moisture, it wears plenty comfortably, it comes in either a Classic or Slim fit, and it layers up just as easily as can be.

Try your new favorite T-shirt (again, that’s the Proof 72-Hour Merino T-shirt) underneath a waxed trucker jacket from Huckberry, a lightweight washed denim jacket, or a breezy shirt jacket — this is one durable, hard-working T-shirt that won’t let you down, at least in my experience.

Whether worn underneath a denim jacket or styled all on its own, I’ve found the hard-wearing Proof 72-Hour Merino T-shirt absolutely critical as I hit the road — and it’s easier than ever to bundle the Proof 72-Hour Merino T-shirt in multiple colors for some stellar Huckberry savings at the moment. Will the dependable Proof 72-Hour Merino T-shirt make its way into your spring style rotation? It’d be a shame if you didn’t have at least one tee on hand from Huckberry for the weeks and months ahead, ehh? We’ll see you out there, wearing the Proof 72-Hour Merino T-shirt all the while.
