    Boxer Briefs,,

    They are the most Comfortable and help prevent Chaffing of inner thighs,, I learned about Boxer Briefs In the Fire Department,, Wearing "Nomex" that does not breath well, One tends to get sweaty in all the wrong places,, Cotton Boxer Briefs help a lot....

    See, I did boxer briefs for a while, but it always seemed to me like the legs tended to ride up over time, and bunch up and pinch. What's the secret?

    Boxer brief suspenders???

    Default Capilene boxer shorts

    Patagonia silk weight capilene boxers (Active Classic)

    http://www.patagonia.com/us/product/...0-079&pcc=1128

    I like these because they are very light weight, durable, and dry quickly. The lose fit allows air movement. They are easy to wash and dry in the field.

    Yes, I can see that as valid. I guess for me if the question was about longjohns I would be more accepting. Maybe it is just me. I wear cotton briefs, and I buy what ever "Sam's Club" is selling in bulk pack.

    Capilene is way out in front my first choice, but I often use flannel pajama bottoms because they are $.25 at the Salvation Army store.

    What's "capilene?" Is that the stuff they make Underarmor out of?

    Light weight cotton. It is because of laundry chores. I don't wash outer clothing much in field but underware is easy to wash and easy to carry extra. I change it often. If you stay out longer the advantage of this becomes obvious. When you only have one or two changes of clothes they wear out much sooner and the more you wash them the faster they wear out. Washing clothes is womans work just like gathering wood and hualing water but I still try to make it easy for her.

    What I said was not sexist. I have great respect for women and thier abilities and you need to take advantage of each persons ability to contribute. My wife can run a dozer because it became obvious she had trouble humping logging chains in mud up to her knees so she operates while I set chains. What she does saves my back for other tasks. It's just the way it is. She won't eat my cooking either!

    For the field I like anything that dries fast. Generally I use a nylon mesh that breathes very well, but sometimes I use something similar to coolmax. And, I think they are boxers. They aren't tight against my thigh. I don't like that. I like loose.

    Well, let's see. Sometimes I work and hike in hot, humid climates. Sometimes I work and hike in cooler, drier climates. Sometimes I am in very wet environments. So, I suppose .......... Depends.
