Many people understand the importance of wicking moisture away from your skin & how aids comfort; therefore most of these people go as far as buying performance tops & trousers. However not all of them go as far as wearing high wicking underwear. The warmest places on your body are your armpits & your crotch, if you wear a high wicking top why not wear a pair of merino underwear as well. The Everyday Boy Short from Icebreaker are lightweight & super comfy. Using a 200g/m² pure merino rib-knit fabric, Icebreaker are one of only a few companies in the world that use the best quality, super fine merino fibers in their garments; this results in a non-itchy quality not normally associated with woolen fabrics. When you are warm the wool transports moisture away from the skin & the evaporation of this moisture helps to cool you down; however the merino fibres also contain millions of tiny air pockets that retain body heat to maintain you body temperature when the weather turns cold. Merino wool is naturally odour resistant because bacteria find it hard to hold onto the surface of the merino fibres, therefore it cant sit & multiply to create bad smells. These pants are great on multi-day trips as you dont have to pack as much underwear because you can wear them for a couple of days at a time. Great for active use or everyday wearing.
