undergarments to wear while hiking kilted

of course....any kilted hiker who leaves the house without body glide should have his sporran checked!

If you must wear underwear while hiking, I'd recommend a pair of boxer-briefs in polypro - either REI or Sierra Trading Post would have excellent choices. By choosing boxer-briefs you don't need the Body Glide.

However, I'd still suggest - when you can, because I understand your concern about hiking with children - that you air out the boys when you can.

I have to agree with Andrew, but an inexpensive alternative, and what I'd personally recommend for the venture you pose, is the Old Navy Men's Boxer Briefs 2-pack. At just $5.00 a pair, the price is hard to beat. They last a bit longer than el-cheapo undies (like Joe Boxer, Hanes or FOTL) and cost much less than their more-expensive competition (Ralph Lauren, et al).

The Old Navy boxer-briefs are going to be cotton. I'm not a big fan of crotch rot.

How 'bout some swimming shorts? They usually have a comfortable liner inside. And they're acceptable to the public eye.

Never had that problem.

ahh, definitly keep the boys aired out. if not for the near verticle climb of a few of the hills we tackle.

The advice will be put to very good use..

thanks

I'm a big fan of micro-fiber for my modesty garments (underpants). I found some great ones at Target that are made in Isreal. The fabric is so incredibly comfortable and formfitting that I easily forget that I'm wearing anything under my kilt. And thankfully, they have no crotch slit that most American-style underwear (and yes, these are men's garments because they are definitely fitted for a man's anatomy). I just hate having that slit there for some reason.
