genuinely: why would you want wool underwear in general? underwear has to be washed frequently. even though wool is antibacterial, the amount of ass/ball sweat picked up by a pair of boxer briefs needs to be cleaned eventually. and then you have to wash it without felting it, which is going to be increasingly difficult for more delicate & expensive wools than merino. and if you get cheaper then there's the question of an itchy natural fiber that many people are mildly allergic to all up in your dick & asscrack area. just feels like a bad idea all around.

Merino underwear (not 100%, with a few % nylon for durability) is great.
Moisture wicking. Doesn't smell. Comfortable.

If I put manmade materials on my skin (especially in areas I tend to sweat) I reek

>>17959931
i mean i can see why merino would work out but i just can't imagine something like cashmere or shetland having the same or better durability + comfort level + ease of washing all at once for this specific function

>>17959898
Merino is the best material for under layers because its breathable and moisture-wicking. And it can be woven into a soft, stretchy, non-itchy fabric. Maybe they theoretically could weave other varieties of wool into a jersey knit, but merino is just the best choice.

>>17959916
Lightweight merino wool is amazing. I live in southeast Texas and do labor, the ones I have are great, ball sweat is kept to a minimum and my balls were actually cool after getting out of the sun.

>>17960079
Would you recommend any brands?

>>17960138
not him, but icebreaker are very good.

>>17959898
jesus bro just wear panties

>>17959898
because merino wool is a combination of cheap, not coarse, and superwash treated so you can machine wash it.
>>17959916
don't under estimate the anti microbial properties. thousands of people a year do 3000 mile thru hikes across america in a single pair of wool underwear they're lucky if they get to wash once along the way.
>>17960138
icebreaker and brynje are the best for wool baselayers IME. depending if you want knit or woven mesh. icebreaker for underwear. worth the price premium in how long they last over other brands i've tried.

>>17960427
Why do they not bring an extra pair of clothes? It will not weigh them down at all?

>>17959934
$30 for one pair of merino wool underwear? Are they that superior to cotton?

>>17960182
I am not a disgusting tranny

>>17960585
people spend $30 on ck cotton/elastane undies

>>17959898
>Not exclusively wearing silk boxers

What are you all? Poor?

>>17961224
Are there any generic wool underwear? I pay $30 for a 5 pack of 100% cotton undies

>>17961231
Tom Ford ones are peak . inb4 i dont wear a mans name on my dick.

most long distance hikers only bring the bare essentials, maybe 1 luxury and leave everything unnecessary behind. a few pounds of clothes is a lot of weight when we're talking about people who shave the handles down on their toothbrushes to save weight.
the idea is to spend more time on the trail and less at camp. your gear doesn't do anything but weigh you down and slow you down until you've set camp up. bringing less shit trades off having a shittier camping experience for having a better hiking experience, up to double the miles per day, less injuries etc. more miles per day = more allowance for unforseen delays = higher chance of completion.
you still see boomers with 30+lb packs but you rarely see anyone younger packing like that on hikes over 300 miles.

>>17961237
you will never find merino underwear below about $30 because that's what they cost to make. even the taobao shops want around $22 a pair. your best bet is to buy merino underwear in bulk when they go on sale at outdoors retailers around the end of summer. you can get $15-20 which is the absolute lowest i've ever seen.
you get what you pay for in lifespan, its really more worth it to just buy icebreaker/brynje.

>>17959934
>can't imagine something like shetland having the same or better durability
Merino is the silk of the wool world, It depends on the sheep, and the weave but it can definitely be stonger

>>17960149
>83% Merino Wool/ 12% Nylon/ 5% Elastane

>>17960149
icebreaker are very good
Just repeating what everyone else says huh
There half zip tops don't even have a wind blocker behind the zip, I can get a 200gsm top for £55
a different company sells leggings at 210gsm for £49.99 with fly in multiple colours

>>17961269
They are fools

>>17960594
they comfy tho

>>17960138
The pair I have is First Lite's Boxer Brief, they go for 50 but try to wait for a sale if you can. Other than that I love them, they're the comfiest pair I got. I'd reccomend looking through surplus stores to see if they sell any.

Taylor stitch is the best wool underwear period. I've tried every brand
Anyone remember when outlier made socks? Taylor stitch wool underwear is basically that tier

>>17959898
I’ll sell you a used pair on my onlyfans account bro

You a size xxxxl?

>83% Merino Wool/ 12% Nylon/ 5% Elastane
Yes faggot
Pure merino woll underwear would fall apart after a few weeks of heavy use. Properly made merino clothing where they wrap the meriko around a nynon inner fibre for strength and stability is fine and desirable. Once it gets over about 20% nylon then you know it's just cheap filler. Obviously some of the shit that smartwool makes that's only 20% wool is trash but 83% wool is fine

>>17962282
Polyester= poison for testosterone

If I use a second pair of 100% cotton underwear over 100% merino wool underwear would that prevent holes and lengthen the lifespan of the underwear? I received five pairs of wool for the gift giving holiday of last year

>>17962346
>Nylon has the same bad effects as polyester

Both nylon and polyester are made from petroleum.

ive been wearing the same pure merino long johns for years and they definitely never started "falling apart after a few weeks". do you have actual experience with this issue, or are you just repeating marketing copy?
>>17962434
i dont think that would do anything because theyd be rubbing against the cotton underwear, and theyd still be continually stretched & contracted by your body's movement

>>17962539

>>17964500
Squats and deadlifts are all I need for abs

>>17959916
You're right. Merino for backpacking or LARPing in the woods, micromodal for everyday wear.

>>17966116
Absolutely a no-no. Baggy pants reduce the flow of energy through the chakras and inhibit the transfer of metachlorites along the duodum. The tighter the pants the better

>>17962344
good i like being woman skinny

>>17966167
You like brittle bones too, boy? Because that's what will happen with low testosterone and above the age of 35, so get you some loose 100% cotton pants that let your testicles breath and start drinking your 12 egg shake in the morning and evening.

>>17966172
Already have baggy pants but eggs are bad for your health so I won't be doing that

>>17966954
