72-Hour Merino Chino - HB Athletic Tapered
Story
If you were to pick one pant—make it merino
Built for everyday life, with the range to travel and move when needed.
The Proof team didn’t start with an off-the-shelf fabric. They spent two years working directly with their mills and factories to build a merino wool blend from the ground up—testing, refining, and wearing it through long workdays, late dinners, travel that blurs together, and light adventures off the grid. Nothing like it existed on the market.
The result is the 72-Hour Merino Chino—a modern pant designed to replace denim and traditional chinos first, while doing more when the day demands it. Cut like your favorite jeans, it stays fresh for days, moves comfortably, and looks right wherever you wear it. Polished enough for everyday wear and office environments. Easy enough for travel. Ready when plans change.
