Hiking Underwear - The Best Underwear For Hiking

[@EwanGoesHiking]

Not for the first time - I'm talking pants. Do you lot wear specific underwear when hiking? Do you think regular undies will do? Is there a brand you swear by? I'd love to hear in the comments.

[@AJHart-eg1ys]

Pretty much any brand name synthetic underwear can accomplish what most higher-end ones will. But the actual elimination of back-crack-to-balls swamp butt is a game changer.

[@EwanGoesHiking]

You're not kidding there lol

[@TheEves]

Nice to see you addressing the important issues, Ewan! I don’t hike, but am a keen jogger and usually use cycling shorts under my running gear. Great channel, sent you a follow! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻

[@EwanGoesHiking]

Really appreciate that. Love your cover of A Spaceman Came Travelling.

[@chrissaltmarsh6777]

There you are, out in the weather, warm and comfortable in all your kit, delighting in the freedom , the hills, the beauty of it all. Apart from that chafing around the nether regions which, although not deadly in the grand scheme of things, puts the kibosh on it all. Is it worth stripping off three layers, in the rain, to attempt to correct this blight on the day? No! Be as careful in choice of knickers as you are with socks, which is obvious. Good stuff, Ewan.

[@EwanGoesHiking]

Thanks Chris. Appreciate it. :)

I've had really great luck with merino boxers, specifically Icebreaker but Smartwool is good too. Kinda pricey but I feel like its better to have 2-3 pair of good, fast drying underwear while hiking than a whole pack of cotton undies

[@scottkingofska]

I got myself a pair of smart wool boxers which have been working for day hikes for months for me. I wore then for the start of the west highland way but 2 days in, friction started occurring. I was lucky i bought myself a pair of sweat wiking sport shorts from lidl before setting off, I wore them for the rest of the hike and had no problems at all.

[@EwanGoesHiking]

Some people swear by the smart wool ones but they're just not for me. Guess everyone's different and what works for you works for you.

[@dougmiller4567]

Great video, never thought of bamboo for hiking underwear. In the US I've never heard of the brand, but will check them out

[@andyclarke7265]

They are great pants, i purchased one pair a while ago after an issue with chaffing, like you i saw the advert and thought i would give them a try. i have since purchased another 4 pairs, which they are not cheap, normally £17 each or 4 pairs for £60 , but are well worth the cost considering the comfort and no more chaffing..

[@EwanGoesHiking]

I buy them in the multipacks too. You're right about the price...but then if you compare them to say designer underwear where you're paying for the brand alone, they're definitely worth it.

[@thebeardedwunderer1503]

I swear by step one! Your right there simply the best!

[@johannesvandemerwe]

Be careful ordering from Step One if you are outside the UK, like I am (Netherlands), for after seeing this great video I have ordered the same underwear with Step One. Until today I haven't received anything (ordered over a month ago). I had a few responses about shipment was lost and resending, but with no result up today. I really got enthousiastic about your video and I know you, Erwan, can't help this for you are a customer like I am, but recommending something of company failing to deliver doesn't create happy customers of Step One. But I really like your video. Not blaming you for anything, just Step One or rather Step None.

[@wills1110]

I hike a ton for my job and have been trying to get ready for the fire season. The biggest issue I've ever had were riding up and chafing. Looking to try some other options

[@EwanGoesHiking]

I'd definitely recommend giving these ones a try to see how you like them. I still swear by them. Thanks for watching and commenting Will.

[@snowymatrix]

Although not the trendy choice nowadays but in my experience you can't beat a pair of merino briefs by EDZ or some more expensive brands. I don't like boxers in everyday wear or for out walking in but that's my 2 pence worth!

[@EwanGoesHiking]

Whatever works for you is the right choice as far as I'm concerned. 😊 Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@nickchurchman6536]

Haha love it 😂 - going where no one else dares to go - but definitely a much needed review. Thanks - going to try them now 👍

[@EwanGoesHiking]

Appreciate that. You're gonna love them.

[@bothybill]

I've been using the step one boxers for atleast a year there the best boxers I've ever had a did have doubts about durability however ive 5 pairs and not one pair have given up a top product 100% agree with the video keep up the good work fella yer videos are spot on

[@EwanGoesHiking]

Awesome stuff. Glad I'm not the only one who rates them. Thanks for watching and commenting mate. Much appreciated.

[@humandrattle]

These underpants are insane, I’ve just caught on and now I’m hooked, great vid’ ✌🏻

[@ianrudd7442]

Ewan well done for this. It is a topic that should be covered but isn’t. Currently for trips I use a variety of trunks. My go to are Icebreaker but I will also use synthetic pairs by either Rohan or Paramo. I have never used bamboo although I am looking to. I have never heard of this company but I will look them out now. I hope to do the Highland Way next year, if we ever get out of this pandemic and pants are very important so thanks for this video. Keep it up.

[@EwanGoesHiking]

Thanks for the comment Ian. Appreciate it. I never tried Icebreaker but have seen a few folk recommend them now. Good luck with your West Highland Way trip. Hopefully next year will be a better one for us all travelling. 👍

[@NickandRachel]

Awesome video man! Thanks for sharing

[@EwanGoesHiking]

No problem. Thanks for watching and commenting 😊

[@NickandRachel]

@@EwanGoesHiking you're welcome! We really enjoy making outdoor content also

[@EwanGoesHiking]

@@NickandRachel just gave you guys a wee sub 😊

[@NickandRachel]

@@EwanGoesHiking thank you we appreciate that!

[@istp1967]

A Thousand Thanks; I'll be ordering them for now on 😎👍👍👍

[@AlyaSivets]

hahahahaha the introduction 😄

[@D9everything]

Thank you for this review - I hate that I end up wearing a g-string and might as well do the dance from _Silence of the Lambs_ when I'm two miles out. God knows I've worked out a ton of adjusting moves to not look so obvious (not that anyone's going to call me out for it that I don' t know). Going to give these a try and maybe save a sheep in the process.

[@benjaminbrewer2569]

Very helpful. Thanks from Atlanta. Ummm… there’s a mesh window above the butt crack so you can kiss swamp ass goodbye… excellent but I think I’ll just wave.

[@brianracer6868]

You had me on the first line.

[@EwanGoesHiking]

* blushes * ☺

[@charlykatbat4468]

I have to admit, I'm slightly disappointed you didn't start with a joke about how you're Scottish and therefore not wearing underwear 😅 Anyhow, sending love from Svalbard, stay safe

[@EwanGoesHiking]

Haha only when I'm kilted. 😂

[@GavinEatingButritos]

Love the first line. Thanks for the info. (;

[@BrokenBackMountains]

Need something to stop yer bits clanging together😁 I got some no ride up long leg boxers from Amazon and they aren't too tight Great for long distance. However the best and most comfy with great support have been bawbags. They also let me fly the flag😁

[@EwanGoesHiking]

I've heard good things about bawbags (theres a sentence I never thought I'd type) XD Hope you're well mate. Gave you a wee sub on here.

[@BrokenBackMountains]

@@EwanGoesHiking All good here Ewan. Hope all is well with you. Waiting for Ireland to get out of lockdown and try to get up the hills again.

[@EwanGoesHiking]

@@BrokenBackMountains I know exactly what you mean. I'm getting slightly bored of walking the same local route over and over again.

[@Haze1434]

6:37 - I specifically walk long distances looking for someone to rub my junk. Haha, seriously though, great video, thanks..

[@EwanGoesHiking]

Haha yeah that just kinda slipped out 😂 Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.

[@6foot8jesuspilledpureblood82]

Still using these?

[@orangew3988]

So did you pay full price for them?

[@EwanGoesHiking]

I bought them in bulk (pack of 9 I believe). The more you order the cheaper they work out per pair.

[@mike_outdoors4918]

Earlier this year I converted to bamboo underwear, namely trunks by Danish Endurance, so comfortable 🤗

[@EwanGoesHiking]

It's so good eh? Never thought I'd be replacing Merino wool.

[@jetstreamx15]

Carbon footprint..ha..ridiculous
