Speaking of underoos
A bit back, I noted the lack of quality in most store-bought drawers. I settled on some tactical underwear and it held up well. Going on just shy two years now and the several pair that I bought are still like new. The elastic is still good, unlike other brands that I criticized before. And the fit is still snug. Keep your friends close and your junk closer.
I highly recommend the ExOfficio Give-N-Go.

They aren’t exactly store-bought drawers, but I do know of a gentleman who sells Ballistic Under Garments …

I was under the impression that tacticools went commando.

I knew someone in the clothing business, she told me there really is a difference between the stuff the brand names sell to Big Box and the higher end stores. Started buying mine at high end stores and it does indeed seem to last longer. Hmmm, you get what you pay for??? what a concept, doubt it will ever catch on but…

You gotta go commando.

My cheapo Store-bought britches get one last wash when the elastic is gone, then they get cut into gun patches!

I get Ralph Lauren boxers at Macy’s that are good for about four years…

Off on a tangent. A person of my acquaintance recently showed me a $300 bra.
“Does it make them bigger?” The answer was no. “Does it come off easier?” Again, no. “The most comfortable bra you’ve ever owned?” Not really. “So why is it such a great bra?”
“Well just look at it!”
“I don’t think you understand how this works.”

Spending as much time on a motorcycle as I do, I have had to go through a large variety of underwear in the interest of comfort.
My recommendations would be any underwear from Wickers.com, or Champion Brand Duo-dry underwear. Both have lasted quite a long time, stay dry on the hottest days, and are comfortable enough that I don’t even notice that they are on (I.e., no binding, pinching, etc)

2 years? My Hanes are 10 years old and still going strong!
Of course, I only wear a one pair a day, then it goes into the hamper, but if you want to keep your skivvys on your body for 2 years… ; )

My hanes used to. Now, they just don’t make them as well.

I decided on an underwear purchasing strategy, a few days ago. The brand you mentioned, and a couple pairs of ice breakers for backpacking.

I still like my ExOfficio ladies underoos. Too bad they’re kinda ugly.
