[pct-l] What underwear do you wear hiking?

[CHUCK CHELIN]

Good afternoon, Nicholas,

I don’t wear boxers or briefs:  I wear athletic shorts that have built-in
jock liners.  That was based upon, 1) an interest in reducing weight, and,
2) the fact that I seemed to be able to run umpteen-miles in comfort but
when hiking in shorts I – literally and figuratively – got my panties in a
wad.



The answer to both was light athletic shorts.  They don’t have significant
pockets, but I carry a small butt-pack in front as a substitute.



I can’t advise on ladies wear, but some are probably doing it wrong when I
see them walking around like they have chapped lips.



Enjoy,



Steel-Eye
