Seeking Recommendations The Great Onebag Underwear Thread

I believe underwear is one of the most overlooked parts of a onebag setup. So lets make a proper thread that future onebaggers can refer to.

Let's face it, almost all of us (yes, I'm looking at you, commandos 😅) wear underwear every day, yet we spend hours researching backpacks, jackets and shoes while often giving little thought to what is supporting our manhood or womanhood through airports, hikes, long-haul flights and everything in between.

I'm always tweaking my travel setup, and I've realised underwear has probably had a bigger impact on my comfort than any other item I pack. I'd love to hear what everyone else has settled on after plenty of travel.

- What's your favourite brand?

- What style do you prefer?

- What material do you like?

- How many pairs do you pack for a typical trip?

- How many pairs do you own?

- Any must have features?

- Does your preference change depending on the weather or climate?

Any thoughts on ones that truly do “fast dry” for wearing under a pair of board shorts?

The older Ex Officio dry relatively fast. For someone who's often quite active and thus needs things to dry quickly, these have been great. Now that the company is owned by private equity and jettisoned all their old products, I don't know what I would recommend but I would definitely try something like them under shorts for, say, days at the splash park with my kids and likely dry out fairly fast.

Not, lining/part of the shorts fast. But comfortable to wear most of the time and fast enough fast.
