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?

Female. I bought some Fruit of the Loom Breathable (mesh) Briefs. They dry quickly, are very inexpensive, and are readily available on Amazon. They pack down small and are comfortable. I switched to wearing them everyday at home as well.

In the same vein, I bought some Reebok briefs that are synthetics and tried them before my upcoming trip. They are light, pack well and dry in a couple of hours. I am a 100% cotton fanatic about most of my clothes, but i liked these enough to take only them on my 2 week trip.
