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.

See Now, Buy Now: These Proof Rover Work Pants from Huckberry are Ready for Winter’s Worst

Best work pants for men.

If your neck of the woods looks anything like mine these days, I’m willing to bet you’re dealing with your fair share of frigid wind, deep snow and foul conditions aplenty. And yet, the work doesn’t stop, be it your winter to-do list or the ever-mounting need to shovel snow, dig yourself out and perhaps get back to the office.

For whatever’s in your way and whatever happens to be on your to-do list, the best workwear can handle it all — and then some. The best work pants for men, while not traditional snow pants you’d wear on a mountain, are more than equipped to take on the task at hand, especially if the sturdy work pants for men are the Proof Rover Double Knee Work Pants, which blend form and function in a reliably rugged way from the good folks at Huckberry. Better still is the fact that you can save 15 percent on your purchase of two pairs — but let’s dive into why you’d want to do that, shall we?

There’s always much to love in the way of durable winter gear, performance-minded menswear and tough-as-nails supplies in the digital shelves at Huckberry, and the road-ready Proof Rover Double Knee Work Pants should more than pass muster. Proof delivers adventure-minded performance menswear under the Huckberry umbrella, from its famed 72-Hour Merino T-Shirts (truly worn for three days of hard-working off-grid excursions) to the fan-favorite Proof Rover Pants, which my Proof reviews have covered here on this Brooklyn style blog.

The hard-working Proof Rover Double Knee Work Pants share much of the same DNA as the flagship Proof Rover Pants, starting with their fabrication. Your new favorite winter pants feature a tough-as-can-be cotton-blend, recycled poly fabric construction that regulates your temperature, boasts just enough useful stretch and wicks away moisture at the same time. Talk about a laundry list of features designed to move with you and make tackling your to-do list all that much easier.

Lest we forget, the Proof Rover Double Knee Work Pants feature reinforced construction at key stress points through the thigh and knee, plus riveted pockets for an ultra-sturdy finish. In my experience wearing the Proof Rover Pants, the pigment-dye finish makes these rugged work pants for men surprisingly sturdy and yet supple out of the box, all the better to mold to your body over time.

Of course, whether layered up with a thermal henley and a wool-lined waxed trucker jacket or styled with a burly crewneck sweater and a barn coat, the dependable Proof Rover Double Knee Work Pants should move easily with you, thanks to the gusseted crotch. Huckberry even built out the forward-thinking Proof Rover Double Knee Work Pants with a back waistband pocket for your everyday carry.

Rounding things out is the fact that some of the best men’s work pants come in three proprietary Huckberry fits, including an Athletic Tapered fit (my personal favorite) and a crisp Slim fit — not to fear though, as the reliable Proof Rover Double Knee Work Pants should still readily team with pull-on work boots or Red Wing Iron Ranger Boots. Don’t delay snapping up your new go-to work pants — they can handle winter’s worst, and then some.
