Non-cotton underwear
I wouldn't think about using cotton as my first layer on top; I use a good
wicking synthetic or silk. Same for long underwear bottoms. Some how, though, it never occurred to me to wear anything but my regular cotton briefs. They do get sweaty when I ski. SO, I'm thinking perhaps I should get some other sort. Anyone have any views on whether its worth the money to buy new underwear out of something more wickable? |

Anyone have any views on whether its worth the money to buy new underwear out of something more wickable? I've thought about doing so, but I never quite got around the $15 or so price tag *per undie*. (Anyone have better prices on women's wicking undies? IIRC these were spotted at REI.) I would imagine they would be more worthwhile for women than for men, as wet underwear tend to lead to itchiness and infection in women. -- monique Longmont, CO |

I have a couple of the Wickers brand and like them. gr |

It's not like they cost that much. Go to sierratradingpost.com and look
at the Wickers underwear. -- Mary Malmros Some days you're the windshield, other days you're the bug. |

It's "only" double what I pay for victoria's secret undies, and almost certainly a lot more than a 3-pack of whitey tighties that your typical guy buys =P But thanks for the link. Now to guess which size applies ... BTW, do you like the Wickers brand for other stuff (long underwear, etc)? -- monique Longmont, CO |

But thanks for the link. Now to guess which size applies ... BTW, do you like the Wickers brand for other stuff (long underwear, etc)? Yup. Can't be beat at the price. I have a few things in other brands, some of which have nice features, but you've got to spend a bunch more money to get anything better. -- Mary Malmros Some days you're the windshield, other days you're the bug. |
