Sore topic for some... undies

Bushwalking gear and paraphernalia. Electronic gadget topics (inc. GPS, PLB, chargers) belong in the 'Techno Babble' sub-forum.

TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Any other votes for Skins? Are they uncomfortably tight, being compression wear?
Failing Skins, any other lycra style short recommendations?

I'm throwing the MyPKG hat in the ring. It's a gimmick that's supremely comfortable.

A warning - if you buy one pair you better buy seven because they'll run every other undie for you. I

Always wondered about the potential of edible undies. Less food to carry in. Less laundry to carry out. And quite an extensive range of flavours too, from what I've heard. Cherry, Pina Colada, Strawberry and even Chocolate. :)

Thought I'd better update the thread.

UnderArmour Heatgear Compression Shorts ended up being just the thing for me. I've used them now on a few walks and haven't had any inkling of chafing. I also bought a cheap pair of Chinese compression shorts off Aliexpress to see how they stacked up, and they were just as good. So for me it looks like it was the length of the legs which made the difference.

Lululemon Surge shorts (AKA activity shorts) with the built in jocks, or without if it's hot. They also dry quickly, so if there's somewhere to swim at the end of the day you can combine showering and clothes washing into the same activity, and still wear them to bed!
