Hi all,
I’m going on a backpacking trip in a month, and the only tucking underwear I’ve ever heard of is LeoLines and TomboyX, but I might as well ask if there’s anything else. Bonus points if it uses a material like merino wool.
I use both brands for normal daily use, but Leolines is made from cotton and TomboyX is polyester, both of which are not great for temperature and odor control during outdoor trips.
Tucking the old-school way sounds super confusing, so I’d rather not resort to that.
Oh, I hike day trips all the time while tucking. I don’t really notice anymore haha. I just don’t want to smell bad on a three-day trip!
ooo, interesting - well, it sounds like you have much greater insights into this than me 😄. I wonder if using the same gaff or tucking underwear you use on day-trips would work, but either bringing more (to swap out each day), and/or bring a way to wash them and dry them overnight (maybe less ideal, but for longer trips that might make sense).
This issue probably generalizes well to underwear in general, this reddit thread mentions bringing an extra pair and then alternating, cleaning the old pair and letting it dry while wearing the clean pair, then swapping the next day. It sounds like as long as the tucking underwear is synthetic and not cotton it should be fine?
Anyway, look forward to hearing how it goes and what you learn!
