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 was requested to copy a comment I made from the crosspost of this, for anyone looking for resources.


Since it's been a couple of days with no first hand responses, I've got a second hand one.

There's a brand, en femme, that does a poly/lycra blend that is pretty much the default for a couple of people I know. The fabric is designed to wick and dry quickly. Thing is, the people I know that have undies by en femme are more gym/yoga oriented than hiking/outdoors, , so it may not be right for that, comfort wise.

I know the polyester part isn't what you asked for, but when the fabric is made right and blended it can actually work right. Some of my shirts back when I was lifting a lot used a poly/lycra blend, and it really does wick very well, which is key to staying both cool and not giving odor a chance to set up shop. But that may not apply to undies for hiking, so I'm not certain if it would fit your needs.

I'll give these a shot. Thank you very much!
