Underwear is one of the things that I struggle to use second-hand, and I’m not sure if I intend to change that (lest some nowaste people teach me mystical ways and methods :P) But the fact is that I can only use what I’ve got currently for so long, and so I turn to you.

I am not looking for specific reccomendations exclusively, and the type of underwear (underpants, brasseries, undershirts) are all welcome for discussion! But I’m hoping to find advice which will help me find something that will last, and to a decent standard (i.e, don’t use polyester socks, due to smell).

So please lend your advice for finding Bras, Briefs, Bobbysocks, and Bundershirts!

EDIT: Also advice on what materials are better suited to different climates is also well appreciated! (I tend to leave my posts personal detail agnostic so they can serve as resources for others :))

    I pretty much only wear darn tough socks at this point, and have used them down to -60F windchill and up to 110F. Obviously different pairs, but they have a lot on offer for pretty much any situation.

    I’ve used them in the desert before, hiking into the 100-110F range and nothing is super comfortable for me at that temp range but they did good. My shoes were more the limiting factor on my feet breathing there. They held up well with sand getting thru my shoe’s mesh and I didn’t get blisters or anything. I am very blister resistant normally tho.

    Bicycling in -60F they also did super well in, though that was even moreso because my other layers were pretty dialed in. I didn’t stay dry per se between sweat and snow, but I stayed warm enough between my other layers and physical activity to be relatively comfortable.

    Edit: realized after posting that I replied to the wrong comment.
