We’d generally advocate for washing shirts after each wear. But if you had to go multiple days between washes, merino fabric is what you want. There’s a reason merino wool is so popular with backpackers and hikers—not only is it moisture-wicking and breathable, but it’s also much more odor-resistant than synthetic fabrics.
Right now, Proof’s 72-hour merino wool short-sleeve polo is discounted at Huckberry. The $98 shirt is $30 off, dropping the price to just $68. It's earned more than 200 five-star ratings and remains a favorite among shoppers. Like Proof’s bestselling 72-Hour Merino T-shirt, the brand's polo is available in a wide range of colors, several of which are still in stock in most sizes.

The same attributes that make merino wool popular with hikers apply to travel, too. The moisture-wicking, temperature-regulating properties are ideal for airplane cabins that are simultaneously too cold and too hot. Plus, Proof’s polo is designed to pass the smell test after “72-plus hours of constant wear,” according to Huckberry, making it a suitable option for carry-on-only travelers who pack light. Even if you do plan on washing your shirt at the end of each day, the odor-resistant properties come in handy on those long travel days that feel like they’re 72 hours long.
Proof’s polo is made from 87% merino wool with 13% nylon, which adds abrasion resistance and durability and makes it easy to wash. The shirt also has a UPF 30+ rating for sun protection. The two-button polo placket makes it dressier than a T-shirt, so you can easily wear it with a soft-shouldered blazer or pair it with dark-wash jeans.

Huckberry shoppers didn’t just take Proof’s word for it—they put the 72-hour polo to the test. One shopper wrote, “I was told that just because it's a three-day shirt I shouldn't wear it for three days. But I did, and it maintained its shape and didn't get stinky.” Another wrote, “Wore it on the plane and for several days without a wash.” One shopper summed up the shirt’s appeal, writing, “These merino shirts are being touted as a game changer for travelers. In this case, they’re not exaggerating.”
Shoppers also appreciated how easy the shirt is to style, with one calling it “perfect for a day at the office,” adding that they can “still wear it out to dinner after.” Another called the polo “super versatile” for outfits ranging “from casual business to jeans or shorts.”
When popular products go on sale at Huckberry, they tend to sell out—that's been the case for several colors of the Proof 72-Hour polo already. If you've been looking for a polo that's well-suited for travel and everyday wear, this is the one for you. But act quickly, because we're expecting sizes to sell out soon.
