Why We Love This Deal
It’s truly a golden era for the trail short. Patagonia Baggies get a lot of the attention among adventurers and even trail runners, but flexible, breathable, comfortable options abound from brands like Kuhl and Vuori. If there’s one label that deserves more attention, it’s Huckberry’s house brand Proof. Its gear is designed to tackle any adventure, and right now, you can get one of its great utility shorts for almost $30 cheaper than usual.
This one is Proof’s 7-Inch Rover Rock Short, and it’s just $59 at Huckberry right now, a 33% discount from its normal $88 price tag. This discount is good on all three colors—black, cream, and dark green—though we will warn you that Huckberry diehards are scooping these up right now, so don’t wait to get your size.

What Adventurers Should Know
- Material: 73% cotton, 25% Repreve TruTemp365 recycled polyester, 2% Lycra
- Sizes available: 28 to 38
- Inseam: 7 inches
- Colors available: Black, Salt, Dark Olive
- Pockets: large drop-in front patch pockets with rivet reinforcements and large back pockets with velcro closures
Unlike most other trail shorts, these aren’t made of completely synthetic material. Instead, they’re nearly three-quarters cotton blended with recycled polyester and a touch of Lycra.
As a result, these shorts are soft, breathable, moisture-wicking, durable, and stretchy; they have the benefits of all of these materials, which happen to be exactly what’s needed to get through a long hike over tough terrain.
Rounding things out are a button closure and zip fly, belt loops, reinforced front pockets, and velcro-closure back pockets.
We’re already seeing lots of size-color combinations of these Proof shorts going out of stock, and the current stellar discount makes it likely that supplies continue to run low. So if you’re interested in a great adventure short for this summer or next, shop ASAP for the best selection and value.
