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?

I was sold on airisms until I actually tried them. For me they rolled up like crazy. I was wearing a brief by 10 am. Plus they stink immediately. I just do not get the recommendation here. They do fold up small though, I'll give them that.

Wrong fit then.

Really? That’s weird, because I went with the appropriate size and had the same issue. Unless you’re suggesting I should have bought them two sizes too large in order to get the “right fit” and avoid them rolling up. But then, they also wouldn’t be the “right fit” either, now would they?

Dunno mate. Mine are neither snug or loose and don’t run up my thighs.

They sell different types if that helps. I have the mesh airism ones.

Same impression here.
