Proof 72-Hour Merino T-Shirt
Huckberry’s Proof 72-hour merino T-shirt is our top pick for a merino wool T-shirt. Its cut and style strike the right balance, making it versatile enough for casual outings or a visit to the gym. After six months of regular wear and washing, mine remains soft and comfortable. Made from 87% superfine merino wool (150 gsm, 16.5 micron) and 13% nylon, this shirt is perfect for anyone new to merino wool. The nylon adds some stretch without any itchiness.
These pants nicely complement the 72-hour shirt above. They contain significantly less wool, with a composition of 47% merino wool, 33% nylon, 14% polyester, and 6% elastane. This blend results in a super stretchy fabric that still offers moisture-wicking and odor resistance. My only downside is that they feel a bit synthetic. But I really appreciate their stain resistance. Sure, that durable water-repellent coating will eventually wear off, but it’s easy to refresh it.
When I travel, these are the pants I reach for. They’re lightweight, comfortable, and full of stretch. Made from 98% cotton and 2% Spandex, they’re flexible enough for squats and other movements. They might stretch a little bit over time, but I’ve worn mine for almost a year now, and they still fit brilliantly.
I genuinely love this jacket. It’s the only one I’ve ever owned that’s garnered compliments, and it’s the same case for another WIRED staff member. The waxed canvas is sturdy and durable. I’ve had my Trucker Jacket for over a year, and it still looks brand new. I haven’t needed to re-wax it yet, but if I did, it’s super easy. There’s also a wool-lined version available, which I haven’t tried, but I kind of wish I’d opted for that instead of the flannel. It’s on sale too.
Deals on Backpacks, Coffee Brewers, and Other Gear
GoRucks are fantastic backpacks, but they come at a price. Now’s a great chance to snag the GoRuck GR1 at a discount. This is a collaboration between GoRuck and Huckberry, featuring branding from both. What I love most about the GR1 is its versatility. I’ve used this pack for everything—from plane travel as a carry-on to hiking and even biking during an overnight trip. If you plan to ruck with it, be sure to grab a weight plate as well.
The Yeti Hopper Flip 12 is a fantastic personal cooler. Its waterproof zipper is reliable—mine has never leaked. Although it’s not huge at 12 quarts, it’s perfect for a six-pack plus a sandwich, especially when using ice packs to keep things cold.
While the discount isn’t massive, it’s always a win to save on Snow Peak gear, which is top-notch but a bit pricey. This mug costs around $47. Yes, it’s a coffee mug, but it’s made of titanium and double-walled to keep your coffee hot—even on those chilly mornings at the cabin. (Editor’s note: These camping mugs belong to editor Adrienne So, and she’s had hers for about 10 years.)
If you’re grabbing the mug, you’ll want to check out the French press, too. And since we’re on a roll, let’s talk about the grinder. Yes, this military-grade aluminum and high-carbon stainless steel burr grinder is $140 (on sale!). I know it sounds like a lot, but it’s by far the most reliable hand grinder I’ve ever owned. Mine is five years old and has endured years of travel without skipping a beat. Sure, it’s lost some paint, but it works just as well as it did on day one, and it’s on sale!
The Everyday Backpack is one of our favorite camera bags, but it doesn’t have to be limited to that. It’s a solid everyday carry backpack, featuring thoughtful details like a tuck-away waist strap, three FlexFold dividers, and a strap for attaching it to your rolling carry-on bag.
