When buying hiking underwear, I always emphasize on the following considerations;
Style
Hiking boxer briefs or underwear should fit tightly- not too tight, for more effective sweat transportation to the outside. They also prevent thigh chafing, and here, I recommend longer types that go up to the knee-length.
Material
If you are looking to get more comfort during hiking, I recommend comfortable underwear material free from chaffing or rubbing. Go for natural ones like synthetic fiber or merino wool that are highly breathable, quick-drying, and moisture-wicking to keep the normal body temperature.
Antimicrobial types
Did you know that antimicrobial underwear can serve for days while leaving you fresh? Yes, buy Merino wool materials that contain natural antimicrobial properties, for better hygiene.
Men’s underwear
Boxers
Boxers are good for reducing chaffing. Go for your perfect fit to prevent bunching and discomfort.
Boxer briefs
These ones give a win win in limiting thigh chaffing and offering great coverage. Men find them more supportive and comfortable for hiking.
Briefs
While they may not be good for coverage, their fit and support goes a long way in hiking. I recommend them to people who do not experience rubbing.
Women’s underwear
Bikinis
The body suit or bikini is significant for coverage to protect against thigh rubbing. It is also thin and has a waistband for exclusive comfort.
Sorts bras
Comfortable sports bras are seen in their strap, design, and features. Finding the best fit can support the bust, helping put everything together for uninterrupted sports activities like hikes.
Thongs
Thongs may not cover properly but are lightweight with a higher leg cut. They also have a low-rise waistband for comfort.
Sleep specialist
Using the acquired academic and professional experience, I advise patients with various complaints about mental health - depressed mood, nervousness, lack of energy and interest, sleep disorders, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts and anxieties, difficulty concentrating, and stress. In my free time, I love to paint and go on long walks on the beach. One of my latest obsessions is sudoku – a wonderful activity to calm an unease mind.
