men's underwear

[Reverse]

So, going through both my husbands and my hiking cloths today. I discovered all his underwear are cotton. He wears a brief style speedo type underwear. I am trying to find him some that would 1 not chafe, 2 dry quick 3 retard stank. So in the running are wool and exofficio but both are like buying gold. Please suggest as I do not usually buy mens underwear.
Thanks guys

Well when you're hiking they are worth gold...... :-) I tried the Exofficio but ended up with Under Armor and love them for long distance hiking. 2 pair gives you 4 days of clean undies....

Go to target and buy him Jockey boxer briefs. Nylon and wicking, and extremely comfortable.

I second the under armour suggestion. Best undies I’ve ever worn! I wear them daily now.

You might also want to look into the Duluth Trading Post's "Buck Naked" underwear. There are a variety of styles and all available in quick dry materials. I've been wearing them for the last couple of years and found them extremely comfortable.

That's all for now. Take care and until next time....be well.

I use the Ex Officio briefs. Same basic style I normally wear, just different material, but feels much the same. Hike with two pair; at the end of the day, change to the "clean" pair and rinse the one I was wearing. Usually dries in an hour or so.

I've had good luck with Haynes X-temp line of undies. 100% polyester. Not very expensive.

I’ve used both US and Exofficios. I prefer Exofficios.

YMMV

I usually wear some kind of cheap compression shorts from Academy or Walmart. Never had no issues. Does a good job sealing off the nether regions from ticks too.

When my son was playing sports in high school, football and Lacrosse and track, I learned this was all any of the high school athlete boys were using for underwear as well

I got Columbia Men's Cotton Stretch underwear. I believe they come in briefs. They are 58% cotton, lycra, and spandex. They are super soft (more like very soft cotton) and somewhat stretchy and about $20 for two pairs. They dry as fast as Ex-Officio. I love them. You can get off Amazon (got them cheaper at Sierra Trading, but not sure if they are still there).

If price is the issue, try these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I bought some a coupe of months ago. Fine so far. I have also purchased Ex Offico boxers in the past. The boxers -- not boxer briefs. I do not recommend them.

Since no one has mentioned them, I like the REI Boxer briefs...tough as nails and comfy.

[FreshStart]

Exofficio all the way. I bought one pair to try for hiking years ago and now own close to 20 pairs. I still keep two in the hiking bag but wear the rest daily. They are great. Expensive but worth the money. No chaffing ever.

Ex Officio undies and Darn Tough Socks... not that often we get a solid consensus on 'best' but these two product come close.

Specifically- ex officio makes the 'give n go' line. This has recently been updated to include a newer 'sport mesh' model.

The older give n go can be had for as little as $12. Though mid teens is about right.

The newer model is the Sport Mesh, it was more expensive... but as I look seems to be evening up in price.

It is silkier and smoother, but similar.

They last years and like most, have slowly replaced all my underwear for daily and trail use.

If buying on Amazon... you have to hunt and click around a bit on colors and sizes as prices vary wildly on these.

[linus72]

used these for years with zero issues. worth every penny.

Any sport-type poly/spandex boxer briefs would be great. I've found the higher compression stuff causes chafing after long days. Even though the seams are "flat-locked" or whatever you want to call it, they eventually rub. So I seek a looser fit. I've also done alot of commando recently and really enjoy it.

[show me the monkey]

If the chafing is between his thighs, then almost any wicking boxer brief will work for this purpose, the longer the leg the better. Keep in mind that these garments come with and without the... ahem "front pouch". Surely more comfortable with than without.
However, if the chafing is elsewhere, in the crotch or crease for example, you might want to look into diaper rash ointment such as triple paste or butt paste. Seems to be the only thing that works.
