While Proof has proven that it should be your main consideration whether you’re looking for casual chinos for mid-day work luncheons or workout joggers for the gym, the California-based clothier truly excels when it comes to rugged, hardwearing trousers that can do just about anything. You may know the brand from its flagship 72-Hour Merino Travel Pant (with over three days of odor and stain resistance before you need to wash it) but we can’t help but champion its Rover Double-Knee Work Pant. Always employing a minimalistic design language alongside cutting-edge materials, the brand has truly outdone itself with this one.
Available in five colorways and three fits (HB Athletic Tapered, HB Slim, and HB Straight), the Rover is designed for the most trying outdoor activities like bouldering but also making the transition to daily wear. Hence the name, the pants are built with a double-knee construction amidst its engineered fabric that combines cotton (73%) for comfort, Repreve TruTemp365 (25%), and Lycra (2%) for stretch. Derived from recycled water bottles, the Repreve’s TruTemp365 treatment provides you with thermoregulation during a wide-ranging day while also wicking moisture away from your skin. Likewise, the fabric is pigment-dyed so they wear in very well.
As durable as these pants are, they’re also highly comfortable. Aside from the cotton and Lycra construction, the Rover sports a large gusseted crotch that gives you a full range of motion whether you’re commuting to and from work or doing a speed hike. With its technical approach, the pants also feature a classic button fly closure, along with your standard pocket orientation — two at the hands and two in the rear — but also feature a hidden EDC pocket below the waistband in the rear.
Possibly becoming your favorite do-anything trousers, the Rover Double-Knee Work Pant is priced at $138. Head over to Huckberry’s web store to grab a pair or two for your own wardrobe.
