Best Underwear - Not the thermal kind

[duckhuntr]

As the title says. . . What kind of underwear are best for hiking that won't bunch up and give you a wedgie? I've tried briefs and boxer style they all wiggle around and end up in my crack or bunched up in my crotch. The only thing I haven't tried is compression style shorts, but never liked wearing those before, or does someone make a longer style?

Is it just me or do others have this problem? I just deal with it and readjust a million times, but wondering if there is some magic product out there I haven't found.

Boxer briefs are the best for me. Boxers are loose and bunch up, but boxer briefs are snug enough to stay in place. You might need to try a few different brands to find one that doesn't ride up, depending on how big your thighs are.

try Jinshi. Their bamboo is straight money

Duluth Bullpen and Tommy John have been my favorites.

9" Under Armour boxer jocks. They keep your thighs from chafing and stay in place. I've got a few pairs that are over a decade old and still going strong. A little pricey but I just buy them whenever I find them on sale for near $10 each.

Tommy John have the best design for daily wear by far. Been wearing smartwool this year for hunting and they have been nice for hiking if you get a size smaller than normal.

I just picked up some XOSkins Xounderwear that will get their first six day test next month. I've only done a couple of test hikes, just day trips, but they held their shape and didn't hike. Definitely longer than I usually wear. Not for those with a light wallet, though

Stance brand long boxer briefs, I normally find them at Ross, Marshalls, they are funky patterns but don't ride up and I have had no chaffing with them. The Under Armour mentioned above are good too.

Give the Smartwool boxers a shot. Ive had really good luck with no bunching and they don’t get clammy. Plus they are on sale pretty regularly for around 15 bucks.
I tried some Lululemon and wanted to like them but if you’re doing multi day trips I didn’t find they worked as well…I’ll leave it at that.

UA boxer jocks

Outdoor vitals makes a really good boxer brief that does not bunch up and is good for multiple days. Also the UA option listed above.

Just go commando then there is nothing to get bunched up.

FirstLite Wick long boxers are my all time favorite for all those reasons

Probably highly individual. However, I just stick with the simple Puma synthetic boxer briefs. I've tried most of the big brands and these still fit me the best. The wide-waistband New Balance fit me well too. I like these over the more expensive brands I've tried.

I almost hate to admit it given their cost but I recently switched to SAXX quest mesh… they are amazing

Yep… they had them marked down to $20 plus 15% off so I snagged some… too dang spendy otherwise… heck, even on sale they are spendy
