Why We Love This Deal
A normal pair of jeans or chinos has four pockets, sometimes five if there’s a change pocket. That’s enough for more folks, but if you find yourself overstuffing your pockets with your everyday carry arsenal, then you might need an upgrade to a pair of pants that can hold more stuff. Right now, one of our favorites is nearly $50 off.
The Proof Rover EDC Pant in the Athletic Tapered fit is just $83 at Huckberry right now, a rare 35% discount from its normal $128 price tag. The fantastic slim fit, which we covered back in May, is also discounted, but the available sizes are much more limited. These pants have earned almost exclusively positive feedback, and customers call them “flexible and breathable,” “versatile and durable,” and chock full of “handy pockets.”

These “pleasantly comfortable” pants, as they’ve been called, are made of a technical fabric that’s soft, stretchy, and great for wearing year-round. They have four standard pockets (two on the back, two at the sides) along with a thigh pocket on the right, a small pocket within the right side pocket, and zippered pockets on the left thigh and right hip. That’s enough to fit a phone, wallet, keys, knife, lighter, flashlight, multitool, and whatever else you simply can’t leave home without.

What Shoppers Are Saying
One shopper called this the “ideal travel pant” because the “material is flexible and breathable, and there’s comfortable room in the seat and thigh.” They wore these pants “working and hiking around Peru for several days straight,” so they’re definitely “hardy enough to handle a lot.” Plus, “the pockets are comfy and accessible” for good measure.
“These are my new favorite pants,” another shopper gushed. “Most of my pants feel stiff, particularly after they’ve been washed,” but these “don’t make me feel restricted.” These pants combine comfort and durability, and “the zipper pockets are discreet.”
Proof Rover EDC Pants have plenty of room for whatever stuff you need to carry, and their fabric checks all the boxes. Lots of size-color-fit combinations are already sold out, so for the best selection, we’d recommend grabbing the future best pants in your closet as soon as possible.
