Men's underwear

[kerry]

What were the underwear being tested recently on the space station? I think I heard they could be worn for a month without laundering or alienating one's shipmates.

Ok, thanks for answering my "semi-personal" underwear question... I bought 3 pairs of ExOfficio and wore them yesterday...they are NICE!:elkgrin:

Again for the exoficio I use the boxer briefs. I find the sizing is very generous though, wear a size smaller than usual.

Uhhhh, speak for yourself on that one.

I can say that I've been dissappointed in how fast some of my REI have worn out. Maybe its just the newer ones. Here's what I really want: something besides grey, blue & black solids. I had some fun polka dot patterns from REI several years ago. Is it too much to ask? Synthetic, wicking, JAZZY, boxer breifs??

Underarmor all the way. Different lengths, fast drying and hadles the heat extremely well. :ar15:

I got some microfiber boxer briefs, made by jockey, at wal-mart. They were having a special, 2 pair for $7. Good comfort, wicking material, seem OK for the price. I also have some under armors that frankly are too slick - my pants fall down :Wow1:

:iagree:, these are great. They are normally $7 each, bought a bunch at the 2 for $7 price. They are Life brand, by Jockey. I use them for hiking, running, swimming trunks..., there are a couple of different styles and materials. I think they do run a little small, I use a size larger than normal.

I just got some underarmor from backcountry.com for $14.95 with free shipping, it was the best deal I could find

Unless you're a firefighter, then you do want cotton.

Merino Wool. I'm not joking. They are very comfortable, wick better than any other fabric and dry faster than cotton or synthetic. Being a natural protein, they have an enzyme that inhibits bacteria growth so they don't develop the odor that synthetics do, even when clean. I have the Justin Charles brand. They are not cheap.

Wool or cotton boxers for me. I've got a drawer full of Duluth Trading's made from plastic milk bottles; getting ready to get donated. Way too damn clammy for me. I guess if its made from fabric that came from a milk jug then it might be reasonable to assume it doesn't breath very well...I fell for the marketing shizzle.

Patagonia started offering their cotton boxers again after a 5-year lapse into poly. My fav's for the buck are from Old Navy.

"Go Commando! "



around town no issues, but when travelling,

tummy bugs are a constant concern

Being that the rear valve controls solids fluids and gas........

this sometimes malfunctions after a rat burrito

Cotton / natural fibers....
