Imma go ahead and say it....I AM COMMANDO!!! I got a horrible case of jock itch in basic and a DS suggesting it changed my life. I run really hot all the time and sweat is always and issue. The air movement and lack of one more layer to get twisted and hold heat are great for me. If it is really cold AND I am going to be sitting I will put on some old issue polypros. I find they work well....especially since I have 10 full sets and they were free

I have several black ovis. They can be found cheap on camofire fairly often. I'd recommend going up in size as they run small.

The answer to the OP question is No guys can't talk about underwear without going down a ton of rabbit holes and making all sorts of comments.
That is why I go commando!!!!!!!!!

Seriously. When originally reading through this thread, "Oh, First Lite seems to be good. Lots of guys recommending . . . maybe I'll check it out . . . . HOLY Crap! $50/pair for underwear?? I can bring extra cheapos and just burn them every day if I need to!"

This is fear number 1! There’s no worse feeling that or chaffed butt crack. Maybe I need to take a trip to Victoria’s Secret after all
The worst part was the application of "taint cream" we found in Malta, Montana. In an 8x10 tent. We have been friends for over 30 years, but some things just can't be shared. On a positive note, the Albertson's in Malta has taint cream. mtmuley

Damn dude...10 full sets? No wonder underwear don't fit you right...I just came equipped with 1 full set...you got some strong genetics there. Then again, with all the trouble I've let my one set lead me into, I probably wouldn't have survived having that many.
