Best underwear for both hot and cold.

Asking this questions as have just come back from on holiday in Europe via Singapore.
Temp range 9c-30c.
Suffered in Singapore with the heat.
Have always worn cotton underpants mostly presents Birthday and Xmas I am past well hating getting them for for a present.
Especially when you have to pay for them yourself so needs ideas on what to hint for.
I have found them ok NZ hunting North Island bush dri back pants in the winter and with such as rugby shorts cotton or nylon in the summer.
What do you guys and gals wear that works for you.
Ie dries quickly,doesnt stink too much, doesnt scratch,holds its shape,not too hot not too cold.
Cheers erniec.

But buy a few, they dont last that long.

Anything other than cotton too hot for me! If cold conditions, layering over w poyprop long johns does the trick.

And Scottish, wear a kilt

Summer time anything that doesn't give you a rash when wet or damp from sweat

Don't wear any. That free and easy feeling is great. Wot a strange thing to ask....thought it would be kind of personel.

Marino, Redram

Ice breaker or free as a bird in summer:thumbsup:
Just have to make sure if you have a mate that you go first up the steep parts....

Had a mate coming down a hill behind me. He started laughing so I turned around to see he ripped his shorts. Never knew he went commando till then

Did u laugh ??.....

Well we swap info on everything else.
Boots socks rifles etc but the only info you get is manufacturers saying theirs is the best.
My brothers a shearer and he goes commando reckons it beats the sweat etc.
But not really an option for me.

Under armour are good:)

^...snap.

Under armour.

Sheesh I hate free balling, its like playing double hacky sac with a couple of hairy sweaty....well ya get the picture:sick:

Shit my old warehouse gruts seem like a bloody fig leaf compared to all these merino and ice breaker set ups:wtfsmilie:
Do me fine anyway...

Ice breaker works, but can be a tad warm in summer, when I was a cycle courier I went au natural under my Lycra, never got a rash, well not from cycling...

Got some under armour from an outlet shop in California for less than $10 each. Still trying to decide if I like them. Quite hot.

Yes, the powder dry was a good fabric, it had some silver something in it that was a deodoriser. I'm wearing a powder dry top right now and still have some of the gruds but when I couldn't find more, I bought the Under Armour and prefer it.

Jockey Performance Dry Mesh trunks or briefs. Very breathable, light and great for active use, and very very comfortable, no chafing either. I wear these running, hunting, actually its all I wear now. Get them from farmers when they have a sale and the cost isn't bad.

I also agree with the Under Armour statement. The tight fitting tee (what Dwayne Johnson wears like a boss on F&F 5) is a great base layer, wear them in winter and summer as a next to skin layer. Keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter, wicks moisture from body. If it gets cold enough I put a merino top on over it in winter.
