not your typical favorite thread!

So...what is your favorite choice of underwear while skiing/riding? Being old school I still like those comfortable shorts from Fruit of Loom. I did change when they came out with the colors as they are much easier to find in snow than white.

Under Armour Boxer Briefs

We must protect this house!

I usually go with a snug synthetic fabric boxer/breif (though more to the boxer side). Anything else bunches up under the long johns, and that's just not comfy. PErry Ellis actually makes a really good short. I can't recall the name, but I think it has "Technical" in it, or something.

Patagonia med weight capalene. 40 or 40 below. I do put on a wool sweater or fleece vest if it's below 0.

What's a capalene? Do you put the wool sweater or fleece under your underwear or over it and I assume the zipper variety makes it easier to.....you know1 :wink:

Underware threads?

Have we finally reached the limits of Summer discussion?

I love the Smart Wool long underwear. But for really cold days, nothing beats Patagonia Expedition Weight Capilene. If it's really, really cold (below zero), I'll layer the Smart Wool and the Patagonia. Works great.

one pair of expedition weight long underware. If it is reall cold I add a pair of 100 weight fleece tights.

Rarely. But when I do, it's typically something lace or leather, french cut bikini brief when I'm in the mood.

Chilles.

Hahaha yeah I think/hope we have.

Does anyone besides me find their underwear twists around to the left when they ski if it is something loose? I think it's because I always slide to one direction on the chair.


But if I'm not going commando, it's usually bike shorts. Can't have the jewels getting all bruised down there smashing around into things.

Does anyone get batwings when they spring ski?

Pipe down, pierogi boy, we're have a serious discussion here.

How do you clean leather? I figure spandex briefs would be more convenient.

You know, that's pretty tough talk for someone with the build and personal presence of Pee Wee Herman.

"Slim and the twins" have always been partial to my circa 1986 Helly Hanson Polypro union suits. (My wife likes them because knows no woman can inhale within 20' downwind of me and survive.) Lately, I've taken to hanging "Ernest and Julio" in Mountain Equipment Coop's fine synthetic union suits.

A good first layer makes or breaks the whole ski experience. IMO.
