Underwear choices?

[Mark37082]

I've tried most and keeping dry is the most important priority for long term comfort. I spent many years racing off-road motorcycles and have experienced the dreaded "monkey butt" too many times. Of course there different factors in play with racing, but wicking moisture away from your skin is still the goal.

Silk underwear against the skin, even on the feet also.

Depends

I really don't want to get diaper rash during my hunt!

Depends

On what?

Sorry couldn't resist.

I really like Merino wool. Comfortable, lite enough that carrying an extra pair or two doesn't seem to be a problem and lasts for multiple days. Good luck on your hunt, be safe and have a great time.

If you feel like you have to have underwear I would definitely get a couple of options and wear them a couple days each in the heat with whatever pants you will be hunting in and make sure they don't ride, bunch, or rub. I have never found short legged underwear I could trust, but all of my hunts are from back pack, not horse back. As stated, take a little time each day to freshen things up regardless of your choice in duds. Even the best drawers won't save you from brown sweat.

Been around a few places hot and cold with a ton of walking.
I'm a farmer and walk miles a day in soaking clothes or cold temps.
No seam (especially in the creases) silky nylons with lots of jock support is absolutely essential!
Hanging out there, either hot or cold is horrible for chaffing or sweating and creating problems.
Support is key! Keep everything up and you stay drier... which means more comfortable for long days!

And, carry Baby Wipes for squatting in the remote areas to prevent the diaper rash!

Great advice!

Thanks to all who responded. I ordered a few pairs of armachillos from Duluths and also one pair of merino from smart wool. Between these I should be good.

Silk underwear, then Moreno Wool, then whatever. Again, the Silk wicks sweat away from the skin, keep you warmer, I learned this from a special forces guy that hunted in the mountains of Afghanistan off of horseback. Military silk underwear if you can find it will be a great find!

Had thought for quite some time that Duluth underwear couldn't be any different than the rest, wrong, it's all I wear unless it's cold cold, then I wear First Lite furnace.
