Backpacking gaunch! What'dya wear?

[bruin]

I can't find a pair that works. They either chafe, are too hot, or give me a crotch wedgie from hell! Any tips (don't say tighty whities)

[huntcoop]

Go to Zellers and get some Stanfield's Ascot. Specifically made for Zellers by Stany, they are a boxer brief, comfy and inexpensive.

[yukon john]

Nothing. Fleece pants and thats it.

I bought one of each of these for my 19 day stones sheep hunt. Ended up using them on almost every hunt. Wicked for weight and for comfort. I would recommend them. Plus they don't get to stinking. Read reviews on the links.

[BearStump]

try these they're awesome. they keep yur nuts off your legs. no chafing. a little pricey though

[bigwhiteys]

MEC used to sell really thin synthetic stuff, $10 a pair, it's always worked well for me... Willy Wickers is another brand, Misty Mountain is another... I like tight fitting boxer/briefs and am plentiful on the gold bond.

[Glenny]

Thats what I do. But if you gotta have it the ginch try silk ot satan boxers. You might also wear them inside out too. No kidding, the stitching and seams wont did in, real smood like.

[Jim Prawn]

I like the "Dri-Wear" stuff from Mark's Work Warehouse
JP

[huntcoop]

Tried that MEC synthetic stuff and I almost died. The chafing was insane, just wanted to cry. Never again, nothing beats tight boxer briefs, need to keep the boys secure.

[The Dawg]

GOLD BOND, green bottle. You'll NEVER go back!

[huntcoop]

Daily or just before hiking?

[The Dawg]

I use it daily. Never had a problem with chafing since. Its become a ritual. Shower, dry, squat and dust the boys.

I didn't realize Icebreaker made ginch. Definitely interesting. I've got hiking thighs and probably my problem is the crotch wedgie!
Thanks for the info, I'll have to try out a few of these pairs and repost.

Glad to convert another to the Green Goodness.

You think its good now? Just wait till the heat of summer and then they get the fresh spritz and chill....my....god....

[WaderGator]

If i can make one complaint its that it kinda makes me smell like an 85 year old Del Boca Vista resident. They need to do what Old Spice has done and come out with some new scents and market this to the younger generation. Chilled balls for future generations

You got that right bro

[Stone Sheep Steve]

Underwear has always been a weak point for me too.

I tried using Misty Mtn briefs but after close to 2 straight weeks of wearing rain gear on a caribou hunt, a had some nasty stuff brewing down below. Let's just say moist conditions and synthetics aren't a good combination.

There's a reason that Raggety Anne has a cotton crotch.

I think I'm going to try the ones mentioned by Big Bore.

SSS

[swampthing]

I boght some misty mountain and they are my favorite so far. Never had to where them for more than 5 days though. Tried under armour. They feel good but like any of that stuff, it stinks after an hour. I bought a $60 pair of "beast" merino wool. It looked promising until I found out there largest size wasnt big enough. I am not that fat!

[boxhitch]

Have been using the Mark's Dri-wear since the first try, shirts and ginch
But will be checking out the Saxx, maybe more room where it counts.

[Hunt'n Guide]

I've used a few different types of boxer briefs over the years and haven't had any major complaints. The current batch are from MEC and the ones before that were REI. I look for decent length legs to stop them bunching up and change them out. Who wears the same sweaty under wear for two weeks on a sheep hunt? You climb and sweat, the water component of the sweat evaporates and leaves the salt which crystalizes on the fabric and causes your chafing. Swap under wear every day or two and rinse the used ones and let them dry is my routine conbine with a little gold bond powder and it has kept me chafe free for years.

[digger dogger]

You'll never go back. Its like 10 000 little elves, dancing on your nuts.!

Swap under wear every day or two and rinse the used ones and let them dry is my routine conbine with a little gold bond powder and it has kept me chafe free for years.

That's why I like the paper thin synthetic ones from MEC, they don't sell them anymore though. The $10 bargain bin ones, they were tight fitting, and have good length and were super thin... I don't think they even weigh 2 ounces a pair, so I always take two. A quick rinse like you say and they are good to go, and take 10 minutes to dry. I've been chafe free for a long time.

[BackPackHunter]

I've been using Bamboo underwear from Marks.... there ok, for smell, but they ride up your
a$$ a lot.... Im trying Sitka core underwear ...(should have it in a month)

ps... im off to the store to get gold bond! think it worth the risk ($10)

[Blockcaver]

Icebreaker merino boxers work without (much) stink for me. Two pair gets me by two weeks.

Chamois Butt'r skin lubricant for the crotch and butt really keeps everything working as designed, without perfume type odors too. Designed for biking and any other activity that leaves you chafed. Comes in an 8 oz tube or small 0.3 oz tear open packs. I got by with two of the small tear open packs for two weeks.

[grizzlydueck]

Im a goldbond guy aswell and my wife works at shoppers in the beauty section =i told her and her coworkers if you want to sell that smelly girly shit sell it to the women but don't wast your time with anything but goldbond for the guys ! Their feedback from the guys has been great ! Even in guide camp most of the guys all use GB for backpacking and for the saddle chafe =i use the cream it feels sooo good and no scent I have E.B.B and have to wear tighties I have tried lots and the under armour is chafe free for 5years now!

[troutseeker]

Ex-Officio boxers for me. I use them daily, hunting or in the office. They handwash quickly and dry overnight, or in a couple hours in the Okanagan and Mexico!

[Hunt'n Guide]

I've got a few pairs of those as well, and like them for the same reasons.

[MB_Boy]

I agree withh BearStump..... had a friend who plays in the NHL tell me about these and they are great. The Icebreaker stuff is pretty darn good too.....have both of these brands for hiking/skiing etc and they're both great.

I was gonna say just them!
once you go Saxx you wont go back. They cost money but everything else after them,,,,,,, you will wonder how you ever were comfortabl.....
Seriously

[Singleshotneeded]

Fruit of the Loom 100% cotton briefs, if your package isn't comfortable in those then you need surgery!:-)
If it's cold I then put on my Stanfield Merino Wool long johns(over the cotton briefs) and undershirt...comfy!

[835]

Fruit of the loom dont got the Sack hammock. If you dont know what that is you need to buy a pair to put your pair in. They are made out of Bamboo. Which wicks the moisture away..... :)

You just got to get over the 35 dollar price tag. But im blue collar and i have 6 pairs. you will never go back.

[Husky7mm]

Disposables from saan. Turn them inside out after a couple days, then into the fire.

I don't think you can beat Gold Bond powder on your privates, and then cradling them in Fruit of the Loom 100% cotton briefs!
If you're not totally comfortable with that combination, then you need to become a woman...go see your surgeon and tell us all
how it goes over with your wife when you break the news to her! :-)

[cdnshooter13]

Leopard print banana hammock ball hangers all the way! Cause I'm sexy and I know it. This gold bond does sound like fun though!

[Bistchen]

I use Umbro compression soccer under-shorts. They work great and stay cool or warm depending on the weather.
They dont stick or stink after a multi-day trip.

Great product, heres an example:

My gf bought me lululemon boxers for christmas,I was skeptical due to the fact that I'm not a chick that does yoga lol but I've never had a pair of boxers I wash just so I can wear them again the next day,no sweat issues,if they get wet they're dry in 2 mins and it feels like you're wearing nothing at all,nothing at all nothing at all.... Lol

[rocksteady]

OMG... This is such a classic thread :razz:

Big, tough, outdoors, manly hunter gatherer types telling their secrets about what panties they wear and how to keep their pills dry.....:shock::shock:

I just about pissed myself reading the comments....


Gotta wonder though..the comments about the gonch stinking....Do you actually take them off and give them a whiff...or do you just go on the word of your downwind hunting partner....:oops:

[Singleshotneeded]

I dusted the lads with Gold Bond and wrapped them in Fruit of the Looms and went for a hike...yeehaw!
Noahdawg, I owe you a few pints for that Gold Bond tip!

[firstshot]

I have one pair of saxx they feel really good and they prevent "things" from sticking! However more often then not after wearing them for a while during sports or hiking ect, I get a mad wedgie. Maybe it's just me, I don't know haha.

[ufishifish2]

What a thread. Most educational.
I have been using the Green bottle of Gold Bond for years. The guys in the firehall were using it years ago before heading out training or going to a fire call so I tried it out. Awesome!
As for the underwear, I've never even bought my own before. The women have been doing the buying for me my entire life. Well, that stops today.
Enough of the Costco bulk cotton packs of boxers. Time to buy my own. I am putting my foot down! :)
Just ordered Saxx and Under Armour for starters. I am one step closer to becoming a man.
Thanks guys. :)

[Brambles]

I gotta resupply with some better undies thats for sure, I've tried a few different pairs of synthetics over the years and like polypro long underwear you can't stand your self after a couple days, and the synthetics seem to be a little tighter and squeeze the "wedding tackle" into uncomfortable locations. Definitly a worth while thread.
I tried the goldbond green extra strength one year and it was the first time and WHOAH...that menthol really makes the boys feel weird for a little bit........

[BromBones]

Used some of the Underarmour compression shorts last year. Awesome for hiking in but they f'n stink after a day or two.

Merino wool is the only way to go.

[bigwhiteys]

Merino wool is the only way to go.

Hahaha... if you want your nuts to bake in an oven all day... lol. I haven't found merino ginch thin enough for me yet... First Lite is next-to-skin comfy but waaaay to warm and comes down to your knees. I like my MEC $10 synthetics because they are so thin. It takes maybe 3 days for my merino wool anything to start stinking.

There is a lot of non-stink stuff marketed now with silver particles, silver threaded in, merino's anti-bacterial and IMHO it's mostly bullshit. Or I just really stink.

Lululemon rocks as they fit great, a great material, and have no seams between your legs. If you dont like to shop there you need to get over it as these are well worth it.

Heh heh.

The merino stuff certainly does start to smell after a few days, but never seems to get 'bad' smelly. IMO it's much more bearable than the stench that comes from synthetics reacting to a gallon of ball sweat. :) Same for me with the smartwool shirts - wear for a week and I can still put up with it. If I wear an underarmour synthetic for 2 days, it stinks so bad the dog tries to roll in it.

The wife and I bought a couple of pairs of Tilley Endurables for backpacking in Europe 7 years ago. The Tilley store was on Granville Just North of Broadway in Vancouver when we lived there. That is the only Tilley garb that we have so it's not like we are safari snobs or anything. They were a bit pricey...I think $20+/pair, but I still use them. They never chafe, you don't sweat in them and they keep things quite cool.

Be careful with the GB on slightly chaffed skin or you've got 10,000 little elves with pick axes on your ass!!

Just curious, how do Bears like the GB baby powder smell???

Baiting bears is illegal. And from the sounds of it, what you want a bear in your shorts for might be too.

You guys must have snatched up most of 'em...

My dad taught me as a young lad just starting out in hunting, always keep carnivorous critters away from your privates...
Wackman, find yourself a big hairy lady, it'll be much safer for you! :-)

Okay here goes... another VERY important item to take along on backpacking hikes are Pampers Baby Wipes, non scented variety. No will-nots, squeaky clean, clean up the entire region, no fuss, no muss, and fresh as a flower hour after hour! Wipe willy, the boys, and the ejection port, slip back into the merino and good to go go go! Going to have to try the GB I guess... would it work as a wind indicator too?

[waistdeep]

haha some deer or bear would have a ichy nose for sure down wind :)

If you really want to clean up well, pick up a bottle of muriatic acid at the hardware store and douse the Mr Clean wipes with it!
I hear the Aussies in the outback use 120 grit sandpaper, you can try that too! :-)

[deer nut]

Make sure your garters aren't too tight! (Just kidding) ;-) I use synthetic boxer briefs from MEC. They're not actually boxers - they fit tightly on the legs and keep the 'package' in place. So far, lots of miles with no chafing!

[zogg54]

Ahh...............good old GB. It's like a breath mint for yer nuts!

[The Hermit]

Well I had to try the GB... went to the pharmacy and a cute young thing asked me if she could help me find anything... I said " ahh yes, Gold Bond body powder please" and she handed me the GB cream so I said " oh, ahh, no, not the cream, looking for the powder" to which she replied... "Oh my boyfriend really like that stuff too" and damned if she didn't wink!

It seems okay but sure makes a mess... feels good on the big head but not the little head!

i use the baby wipes, and they are great:-P my buddy told his wife to get him some for the next time we went. she did and he said his ass was burning:sad:

he looked at the container and they said lysol wipes:shock:

somethings you just gotta get yourself.

[RiverOtter]

Good thing A5-35 don't come in wipes, cause you just know some poor bastid would have his wife "hook" him up........:shock:

[Stone Sheep Steve]

try these they're awesome. they keep yur nuts off your legs. no chafing. a little pricey though

Oh ya! I'm a believer! Picked up 2 pr of the Pro Elites and I must say they are wicked!!
Put on 32kms on with my misty mtns and started to chaffe. Picked up the Saxx the next day and put on another 22kms. Despite not having anytime to heal, I felt great!!
There are 3 stores in W Kelowna that carry them.
Might have to go buy some more.

Can't say enough good about those Steve!!

I heard about them 2 years ago as a buddy who plays in the NHL (was sponsored by Saxx) was fishing with me up in Kyuquot.....we were having a "man's" discussion about skivvies out on the deck one night and the gals inside were questioning if we were becoming "soft". Apparently 3 guys having a scotch and a cigar talking about "briefs" seemed odd to them.

We have been wearing merino for a long time and couldn't imagine wearing anything else on extended alpine hikes and hunts.

If you thought the "elves" were great.......I almost shot my eyeballs out of my skull yesterday in my new truck. :shock: Wearing a pair of Saxx.....also "bonded".....I jumped in my truck with air conditoned seats. :grin: Absolutely life changing. ;-)

Hahaha, Trent's a buddy, can tell you the 'sharks' missed the bus on that one in a BIG WAY. What a story.

Or is he a rep? Do tell the story.

Sharks...as in San Jose? I'm outta the loop.

"Sharks' as in Dragon's Den. They pitched their wears on the show.

OMG this stuff is great. What with it being so hot at work these days, I usually shower before going to work. Now after I get out of the shower and dry off, I give the future generations a dusting and in no time at all, you get this REALLY cool feeling where it matters the most.

[303Brit]

Real men hike in a pink camo banana hammock….

Seriously though I like the merino stuff, the poly pro stuff is nice but disgusting after a couple hours like most have said. So Ice breaker, first lite, helly, mec, etc, it's more about how you like your ginch to fit. The gold bond thing has been part of the routine for at least 16 yrs, pretty common with military folk. As a couple have mentioned gold bond is preventative, if there is skin damage DO NOT apply gold bond as it will feel more like A535 at that point.
Chamois buttr is a good product, but penaten diaper cream is more readily available at the same places you can get the pampers wipes ;). The nice thing about penaten cream is it tends to stay put better during heavy activity, and I'm not talking about just around the gear. If your a guy that gets upper thigh chafing this may well be your answer, it can be used both preventative and post incident.

As for smelly sock, outside of a 2 part sock system and foot powder swap out your sock soon as you hit camp a quick soak and let'em dry other than that wash your feet. Not much point in doing the other to only to put a smelly foot into a clean sock.

Icebreaker Merino - very expensive, super fine, no scratch, soft and breathable.

[Fella]

If you're worried about chafing, go for the Saxx.

[Brambles]

Just bought two pairs of Saxx pro elite and two pairs of icebreaker merino wools so we'll see which is better!!

I bought a pair of underwear last year called 'My Package' I love them as they keep the junk front and centre and not squished between your legs.
