Look Good on Your Bike Commute
Oh yeah, and the stuff's more comfortable, too
This kit delivers all the features you like in the backcountry with style that works in the city.
Outdoor tech meets urban apparel.
Proof Oxford Shirt ($98)
The tech mix of nylon and Lycra with good old-fashioned cotton give this traditionally styled button-down some stretch for a cross-town bike commute and dries sweat or rain in time for your 9:00 meeting.

Baro Brockton 3L Jacket ($232)
The Brockton draws inspiration from a classic military parka but is more tailored for urban maneuvers. Taped seams, a DWR-coated shell, and a breathable membrane layer make it virtually impervious to the elements, and generous front pockets keep your everyday essentials secure and dry.

Baabuk Wooler Shoes ($109)
Constructed in Portugal, these felted wool kicks provide year-round comfort, even when worn without socks. Elastic laces are “set and forget” practical and the rubber outsole is durable and grippy, while a merino wool lining is anti-bacterial and stink-proof.

Proof Nomad Pants ($98)

Running for the train is easier when your chinos have four-way stretch. The Nomads are also stain- and water-resistant and the tailored styling disguises their versatility. A hidden zip pocket holds a passport or cash for when you need to make a quick escape.
Master & Dynamic MW60 Wireless Headphones ($549)
Exposed stainless steel hardware and lambskin pads give the MW60s serious design cred, but audiophiles will also be impressed with the warm, rich sound these over-ear headphones deliver—as they should with that price tag. Bluetooth connectivity and a rechargeable 16-hour battery keep you streaming podcasts or playlists for a week’s commuting.
