The Tuesday Steal: The Proof Rover EDC Shorts are Positively Primed for Summer Adventures Off Grid

Best adventure gear for men.

As you prepare to go off-grid this summer — down the trail, to the stream or perhaps just across town for a park stroll — the right gear (no, the best adventure gear for men) makes all the difference, does it not? Perfect preparation makes perfect, as they tend to say, whether gearing up for a day hike, pitching a tent for an overnight excursion or simply grabbing an icy cold one on a hot summer’s day.

And yet, for all those pursuits, it’s the ingenious touches large and small that deliver the goods in terms of all-day utility. Look no further than Huckberry and the in-house Proof lineup for adventure-ready durability and yes, ingenious design touches aplenty by way of the Proof Rover EDC Shorts.

Proof designs gear with performance, style and certainly, adventure in mind, focused on staples like its best-selling and real-world tested Proof Merino T-shirts and Pants, and in my experience, the Proof Performance Lined Swim Trunks are some of the best in the business when it comes to moisture-wicking, quick-drying performance (as the name would indicate), and durability.

But back to the Proof Rover EDC Shorts, developed with hauling your everyday carry essentials with ease and reliability, plus quick access, top of mind.

The rugged Proof Rover EDC Shorts (marked down now as part of the still-going Huckberry Memorial Day Weekend Sale) use Huckberry’s blend of cotton, Repreve TruTemp365 recycled polyester and lycra for breathability, abrasion resistance and reliability on and off the trail. And while the cut of these shorts is a chino short-esque 7 inches, these adventure shorts for men pack in more features than your average pair of seasonal shorts, to say the very least.

The Proof Rover EDC Shorts boast a whopping total of seven pockets of various sizes for everything from your keys and wallet to a pocket knife and other handy tools for adventures off-grid. The crotch is also gusseted for further range of movement, again on and of the trail. The Proof Rover EDC Shorts also feature sturdy hardware and just a touch of stretch across the fabric itself, while a right zipper pocket at the hip is especially useful for storing small valuables.

With the toughness fit for a day hike and the clean design of standard, stylish shorts, the Proof Rover EDC Shorts can just about do it all. Heck, even at full price, these Huckberry men’s shorts aren’t a bad steal — but if inky black is your color of choice, this pair of the Proof Rover EDC Shorts is marked down right now. Happy shopping and happy hiking, my friends.
