SAXX BOXER SHORTS £25

I don’t like the idea of ‘going commando’; it seems unhygienic to me. But boxer shorts can chafe during the sweaty exertion of hillwalking, and men’s nether regions offer a lot of opportunity for chaffeage. Saxx boxers are available in a range of colours and wicking performance fabrics, but they all have one thing in common: the Ball Park – an integral mesh ‘hammock’ that cradles the undercarriage and prevents unpleasant rubbing..

VERDICT The most comfortable boxer shorts a man can wear.
