The Coolest Pieces of Gear We Tested This Week

There are some tees you reach for just about every day—and then there’s the one that’s actually designed for it. I recently wore Proof’s newest 72-Hour top two days straight. The goal with this gear is that you’re supposed to be able to wear the shirt for three days without it starting to stink. A behind-the-seams look would show you the merino’s doing the hard work to keep you feeling fresh and ready to go even when you’re far from it. In an ideal situation, you wouldn’t wear the same shirt for that long, but it felt good knowing I could if I needed to, whether I’m on a trip or just have an unexpectedly sweaty commute. The shirt, which comes in any color you could want, has the feel of an athletic shirt and has a similar weight to that of a cotton tee. The 72-Hour Merino Tee is part of Proof’s new gear rollout that includes a 72-Hour Merino Henley ($74 and $98 for long-sleeve) and its 72-Hour Merino Polo ($78), which feels like the kind of business-casual shirt you might wear every day (or hell, three days), especially when the forecast is calling for hot weather. In short, it’s a line ready for your most adventurous days this spring and summer. —John Lonsdale, Deputy Digital Editor
