See Now, Buy Now: These Roark Travel Pants from Huckberry are A Versatile Wardrobe Addition for a Spring Getaway

Roark Layover Travel Pants review.

The right tools for the job at hand — especially when the job at hand is dressing the best way for travel — are crucial, and if you’ve ever hit the road wearing gear that’s less than ideal, you tend to notice it right away.

There’s a balance between comfort, style and functionality when hopping on long-haul flights, taking on road trips or even zipping up the coast on a quick train ride, and I’ve found the best travel menswear and gear balances things nicely in terms of that trio of traits.

That holds particularly true when it comes to the best travel pants, like the Roark Layover Travel Pants as shown above – make a wrong move, and you’ll be uncomfortable for hours, my friends. But it doesn’t have to be like that — let’s dive in, shall we?

I’ve also found, of course, that the best travel gear tends to come from a site like Huckberry, which is why — in my experience — a selection like the Roark Layover Travel Pants have proven so useful in my own wardrobe. But it doesn’t have to be like that — let’s dive in, shall we?

Best travel pants for men.

In my experience, the Roark Layover Travel Pants are packed with a laundry list of features that separate them from the pack, even among other pairs of stylish, well-designed pants. The two-way stretch fabric boasts a versatile, crisp straight leg fit, and the fabric is as comfortable as it is durable. The straight-leg fit also means the Roark Layover Travel Pants pair nicely with everything from the best high-top sneakers to hiking-minded sneaker boots and even a pair of rugged pull-on boots, like Blundstone.

Best men's travel pants for summer.

But beyond their versatility in matters of good looks, the Roark Layover Travel Pants feature a slew of useful pockets, like a zippered pocket with a stash sleeve, plus classic back patch button pockets.

A quick-stash pocket at the back yoke turns the Roark Layover Travel Pants from a crisp-looking pair of everyday pants into a pair of pants made to crisscross the globe, which is only enhanced by the addition of mesh ventilation and laser cut openings at key stress and movement points.

From A to Z, the Roark Layover Travel Pants have it all when it comes to the best travel pants. The waistband, for good measure and all-day (and night) comfort of the Roark Layover Travel Pants is elastic with a drawstring front, all the better for hours of wearability. For flights across the Atlantic and even adventures across town, you might not find a better pair of travel pants for men this spring than the Roark Layover Travel Pants.

The Friday Read: My New Favorite Watch, Pedro Pascal’s Trucker Jacket & Tropical Getaway Gear

Best vintage-style watch for men.

Folks, thanks for joining me for the latest Friday Read, a perfect way to roll on into your weekend (if I do say so myself). I’m coming off my birthday weekend (as you saw if you follow me on Instagram!) and I’ve been back at it this week with plenty of freelance writing pursuits.

So: Let’s start off this weekend by taking stock of, say, your watch collection. I’m frequently on the lookout for stylish men’s watches that are durable, rugged and versatile, be it something like the Shinola Bronze Monster Automatic or my go-to watch of choice as of late from Dan Henry Vintage Watches.

Best rugged dive watch for men.

The company virtually offers a historic stroll through the watch world, looking at classic men’s watches from the late 1930s through to the 1970s, then putting a modern twist on them. This leads to a nice mix of rugged but dressy details, dependable designs and some seriously cool strap and dial combinations, like my watch of choice: The Dan Henry 1975 Skin Diver. It features a 39mm retro-style case, a handsome black dial and a contrasting brown rubber strap.

In short, it’s one of the best men’s watches to wear on cold winter nights with a shawl cardigan and flannel shirt, since it’s casually rugged and seriously cool. So, that’s the timepiece I’ll be wearing this weekend as I make my way on an upstate trip (again, follow me on Instagram to keep up!). For now, here’s the rest of your Friday Read. Scroll on accordingly, my friends.

  • Perhaps you, like much of the rest of the country, have been enthralled by the HBO zombie apocalypse drama “The Last of Us,” starring none other than Pedro Pascal. And by now, I’d wager you’ve also read a thing or two about the show, including some insight into Pedro Pascal’s “The Last of Us” trucker jacket. After all, fighting off zombies is hard work, and naturally, our protagonist turned toward the immortal Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket. As you know if you read the blog, it’s a Huckberry classic, and if you want to get that very same look, snag yourself a fresh one now.
  • By now, you’re probably getting just a bit sick of the frigid cold, right? I’ve got a solution for you: While I can’t plan out your next tropical getaway, I can indeed help you figure out what to pack for your next vacation. Keep it breezy, colorful and light — I wrote about the best style essentials for a tropical getaway over at Men’s Journal. Time to start planning and packing, folks.
  • Since I’m hitting the road this weekend, I’ve been thinking about the best travel pants this season (and beyond). Accordingly, you should check out Wednesday’s blog post on the best pants for travel from Bonobos — here’s my full take. Cheers and good luck out there!
