New underwear ideas??? - treat yo junk right!

[Desk Jockey]

So I usually wear under armor boxer briefs working out the 6 inch boxer jock and me undies boxer briefs for everyday.

For hunting and multiday use, the UA boxers aren’t working. Sweat, chaffing, bad juju.

So I need some new skivvies. What do you recommend? I plan to experiment a bit with my junk during hiking season and then buy a few pair of what works. So far I have tried:

- I tried the old first lite wool versions, no good
- sitka seems OK
- Patagonia capilene works OK

What else should I try?

Honestly, I like Russel (the Walmart brand) boxer briefs. They are a similar style to the UA boxer jock ones but I have had significantly better luck with them. Just make sure you buy the athletic ones. Plus, they are much cheaper than UA. I have had some issues with UA chafing, but I use the 9" inseam. The 6" ones chafe really bad for me. UA 9" and Russell 9" are my two main ones.

Start counting ounces and you will go without.

If your looking for multi day use and your skin doesn’t get irritated by wool, I’ve used the black ovis merino boxers for last 2 years (hot and cold) and they’ve been great. Still sweat and what-not but no stink/funk

I wear Saxx Blacksheep and First Lite.... both merino wool. IMO, hands down best for multi-day use. Both are comfortable and soft.

Exofficio, UA start to smell on me after a day or two. Exofficio are good to go. Nice and dry. First lite merino will chaff me in half a day max and then I need a shower to get all the broken 1/16-1/8" merino fibers off after they get wet and stick.

Exoficcio all the way

ExOfficio works for me as well. Tried UA, Patagonia Capiline and several different merino options before discovering the Exo's.

I have transitioned to all exofficio and saxx. Find at Sierra trading post discounted.

i got tired of merino and went back to regular hanes boxer briefs in a poly blend. 3 pack costs about $10. they don't ride up more than other brands, breath well and dry out quickly.

I can't stand synthetics over an extended period of time, so I've gone almost exclusively to Smartwool 150s in the boxer briefs and the boxers. Everything from Qatar in the summer to South Dakota in the winter. They're my daily wear as well as my go to for anything outdoors that doesn't require a pair of cleats and they last a lot longer than the FL did. I've only had to bid farewell to one pair so far due to terminal crotch blowout.

I usually stick to merino (Smartwool 150, Kryptek Hoplite) when backpack hunting since you can get by for a while without the smell, but for everyday use I’ve gone to almost all ex officio. For warm weather, I like the Pair of Thieves brand at target which have been great for the last year or so that I’ve used them.

I really wanted merino boxer briefs to work for me as I wear merino socks and t-shirts most every day but durability and/or comfort were still an an issue 5 brands later.

Cool 32, Costco (if you can get in there). They’re great!

Exofficio mesh boxer briefs. Keeps em cool, no funk. Those and Body Glide anti-chaf and I am good to go for a week or more in the woods.

 

[Jherek]

I've been running the Jocky boxer brief spandex for probaly 10 years, everyday year round and they are bullet proof and dry fast the best I've found, and I sweat like CRAZY. But I haven't tried alot of high end brands, and haven't worn them for more than a few days at a time.

 

[huntcoop]

Saxx all day long with their Black Sheep merino for hunting.

 

[taggart_lumpy]

exoficcio here as well
no complaints with them and i have a couple pairs that are going on almost a decade.

 

[Chordeiles]

I picked up a pair of Exofficio last week. I’ll put them to the test in a couple of weeks, chasing turkeys.

I’ve been using UA and Terramar but they don’t handle the funk too well after walking and sweating all day.
