If your shirt smells, toss it in the wash. But what if there were a tee that could be worn over and over again without emitting any odor (and also save you some water in the process)? Well, Proof seemed to break all the rules when it came out with its 72-Hour Merino Tee, a shirt that could withstand three or more days without smelling — perfect for outdoor adventures or long travel trips. Now, the clothier has made a lighter, slightly modified version for more mobility. Let’s take a look at the 72-Hour Merino Air T-Shirt…
Built with the same exact DNA as the standard Merino Tee, the Merino Air focuses more on the construction of the merino wool itself to give it a lighter feel on your body. This time around, the latest addition to the 72-Hour collection features a mesh knit that favors stretch and comfort. With more room to move, this becomes a great choice for a variety of activities, from HIIT training to hiking to cycling, and everything in between. The Merino Air isn’t intended to replace your regular 72-Hour Merino Tee but supplement it — which, in turn, will give you even more mileage out of each between washes.
Merino wool is kind of a miracle fabric, with natural properties that regulate temperature, combat odors, and wick moisture — all while being incredibly soft. Like the 72-Hour Merino Tee, Proof sources its wool for the Merino Air from New Zealand and Australia. But while the standard Merino Tee is built with 87% merino wool, the new lightweight version amps it up to 99%, with a dash of nylon for durability, natural water-resistance, and reduced cling.
Available in five colorways, Proof’s 72-Hour Merino Air T-Shirt is available now from Huckberry for $78 — the same price as the brand’s standard 72-Hour Merino Tee.
