Sometimes decent moisture wicking is all you need. I don’t like clothing that feels too “travely,” and that includes underwear. Uniqlo’s Airism travel underwear definitely feel silkier than the ExOfficio line of travel underwear, but that’s a good thing. Pretty resounding endorsement, and for $3.90 a pair (sale price), you can swap out your entire roster of outdated He-Man underoos and that leotard you keep insisting goes with everything. Everything you need for a pair of travel undies.īeyond that, though, these are 1) the best-fitting pair of undies I’ve ever had, and 2) the best-looking pair of undies I’ve ever had. As far as your budget options go, Uniqlo is almost always going to come out on top.Īs one 5-star review from 2013 simply says: I’ve been a fan of Uniqlo tech garments since before I started rocking their stretchy men’s jeggings (heck yeah, they’re a thing). Uniqlo Men Airism Low-Rise Boxer Briefs Travel Underwear ($3.90 – $9.90) They are super comfy though, and the range of colors and designs is fantastic, so maybe treat them as a budget supplement to your hardcore travel underwear. It’s tough to give MeUndies a strong travel recommendation since I’m unconvinced the modal fabric will dry as quickly as other more advanced travel underwear. Conclusion: Good for Everyday, Not Awesome for Travel The waistband is also extremely snug, something that will hopefully fade (but not too much) in time. True, MeUndies aren’t marketed exclusively as “travel underwear,” but the implications of lightweight, comfortable undies that wick moisture is undeniable. I appreciate the comfort of traditional boxer briefs, but I guess I was hoping for a little bit more.

MeUndies feel like cotton underwear, which is good for anyone that’s not a hardcore traveler. Honestly, aside from the comfortable materials (92% modal, 8% elastene), I’d barely categorize MeUndies as travel underwear. MeUndies are definitely the least “techy” of all the travel underwear. MeUndies Men’s Boxer Briefs Travel Underwear ($20) I’m going camping this weekend, and these are the only underwear I’m bringing. Not particularly stylish, these underwear do the heavy lifting. Conclusion: Buy One Pairįor $20, you won’t want to replace all your underwear with these bad boys, but you’ll definitely want at least one pair, possibly two.

I’m 6’1” 170 pounds and even though the sizing chart says a 33-inch waist is a “medium.” I wish I had the large. If you’re a little on the husky side maybe bump up a size. They are a little snug in the waist (that reinforced waistband is a double-edged sword).

However, Ex Officio offers the full range of men’s travel underwear. Boxer briefs are also a great stand-in as a makeshift bathing suit in a pinch.īoxer briefs are the Goldilocks of men’s travel underwear, that’s why I opted for this pair. I like a pair of underwear I can walk around a hostel in if I have to, or a pair I can feel comfortable sleeping in without showing off too much sexy man thigh. “Tighty whities” will always make you look like you’re still in junior high. Briefs, however, are just too damned small. Boxers are too big and bulky-especially in hot climates-and while it might not seem like that big of a deal, any extra fabric is exactly that-extra.

I’m a long-time boxer brief fan, especially when it comes to travel underwear. ExOfficio Men’s Give-N-Go 3” Boxer Brief Travel Underwear ($20)
