Tell me about your underwear!

[Bigfoot]

I got a pile of wicking briefs from Lidl last year - they were only a few quid per pair and work as well as some of the more (much more!) expensive branded stuff. I would certainly buy more and will do if I see them again.

I have several pairs of Lowe Alpine dryflo wicking briefs but they are rapidly wearing out and they don't make them anymore. I'm on the lookout for alternatives - can't get on with boxers.

You could try the M&S Signature ones like I bought. They are polyamide and seem to wick away sweat, they don't stay damp like cotton briefs. I don't get on with boxers either; I've tried different designs and styles but my bits are always uncomfortable in them.

I just wear cheap track suit bottoms under whatever I'm wearing in the winter, which double up as PJ's once in the bag.

SNAP!! you can't beat a good ol' pair of tracky's in the winter and they retain a good deal of warmth

I'm glad I'm female.
We get lots of materials to choose from. Silk, nylon, poly, and of course merino if you've got the cash.
Most of which are quick to dry.

Not that I'm suggesting raiding the wife's knicker drawer that might get you more than just funny looks

Have you tried men's boxer shorts? I find them incredibly comfy for walking with. Nothing special, just M&S own brand ones.

the same ones i've had on for the last 2 months:yikes:

Is it just men that find that impressive?

I thought I was saving on the wash cycle and being green by turning them inside out and getting two days out of one.

Lycra shorts with no cycle insert for when I am out in the hot and clammy stuff.
Now I know that RM says cycle shorts but does he wear with or without the chammy insert?

 

[lostplanet]

I wear Nike running shorts(they don't chaffe) and Ron Hill tracksters on top when its cold, then 5.11 TDU's as trousers.

I hate boxers so go for Briefs - the most comfortable I have found being Hely Hansen.

 

[John Fenna]

Normal boxer shorts. We live in the UK dammit

Ahh - but many of us play in forign climes as well

Merino: Woolpower and Icebreaker.
The former because its a great fabric. The latter because I get it at cost, otherwise I would choose another brand.

gotta agree with that... thanks to chav fashion you can get a pair for pennys!!! i sport a trendy pair in my spear throwing vid... and look like a chav in the process!!

Has anyone here tried the M & S "Thermal" Merino/synthetic mix undies - the price isn't too bad. Just wondering whether they might be a false economy.

Best Wishes

I think in the excitement most of us have lost sight of the original question...

My suggestion is to get something made up in a fleece. SWMBO has made me several things for sleep wear out of fleece and they beat the, er, pants off anything else I've worn. Not only are they easy to dry, but they're great at wicking water away from your body if you're a bit damp when you hit the sack, or if you sweat a lot -- if I'm in a sleeping bag I tend to get too hot, and often wake up covered in sweat in the early hours.

Nice that my list of new posts just showed this thread "tell me about your underwear" next one entitled "large gussetted pouch"!

 

[NordicWelsh]

Just wanted to hop in and say that Brynje are now in the UK. They have a pair of superb mesh boxers shorts with a windcover front. Just to give full disclosure here, I am the UK importer! We have the largest selection of Brynje clothing outside of Norway. I will not mention the company at this point, unless the admin comes back and gives me the go-ahead.......I don't want to get kicked off because I really enjoy the forum. You can however get in touch on an individual basis I believe?
Cheers R.L

Underwear? What is this "underwear" of which you speak?

Underwear? What is this "underwear" of which you speak?

I believe it is some kind of oppressive regime, used to keep the little man down!

I learned something new about underwear last weekend ...


Apparently chamois leather makes for good moisture absorbant anti-chaff undies ~ it seems that even my sensible conversations can be a little twisted :yikes:
