The Ultimate underwear?

It could very well be.

For those of you that have known me for a long time, you know that I am realtively scientific about most decisions. The more important, the more analysis. So the decision of what holsters my nuggies is a decision of almost supreme importance.

About 7 years ago, I went through an exhaustive sampling of the current offering of boxer briefs, trying no less than 9 brands and evaluating them on things such as ride, support, durability, fashion (you never know when you are going to be walking around in your underwear with observers), value, and so on. There was a spreadsheet. So, I found one brand that worked great -- Polo Ralph Lauren Sport. I bought a bunch of pairs and was happy.

Eventually, I needed new underwear, and I was harshly reminded that underwear is just as subject to fashion as everything else. Polo no longer offered the underwear. I went on another hunt but did not find a good replacement.

I had pretty much given up hope, resigning myself to the cottony comfort of Calvin Klein boxers, when I happed across Under Armour's boxer. (I am attempting to rid myself of all cotton workout clothes. I sweat like a pig, and in about 30 minutes my shirt transforms into a cold piece of seaweed on my chest unless the fabric breathes) So after two wears, I do believe I have a new winner. Now all I need to do is spend one month's salary so I never have to go through this process again.
