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.

I rock climb as my job (route setter). I find full on tucking to be really rough for being active multiple days in a row (4 day 10hr shifts work week). As such I layer comfy underwear of choice (in your case something geared toward hiking), then “booty shorts” or whatever. Like spandex type things and then a pair of snug but not tight joggers from Prana. If I want to add leggings for warmth, I’ll put those on first and then still layer the shorts and pants as I find my gear and friction on my legs will try to slide the leggings down. If I want to do just leggings I can get away with putting the shorts under the leggings but for climbing and hiking it turns into a lot of adjusting.

I guess it’s worth noting that I am generally not a super sweaty person, like definitely well below the average. Especially coupled with my smell getting even less offensive on hrt, I’m sure I’m able to get away with a lot tucking wise and just smell in general.

I like Prana’s clothes, even though they can be a tad pricey, particularly their more technical pants. I don’t think they do underwear, and the only other spots I can think of aren’t really companies I love supporting anymore (Patagonia and REI). I’ve found Popflex leggings and shorts because they don’t have a front seam, which is a dream for tucking.
