The Top Men's Athletic Underwear
Athletic underwear is the unsexy foundation of performance dressing — but get it wrong and it's all you think about mid-workout. The best performance underwear combines anti-chafe flat seams, anti-odor fabric, and a supportive pouch that stays in place through any movement.
Why It's Trending
- Premium athletic underwear brands like Saxx and Stance have reshaped expectations for performance basics
- Anti-odor silver-ion technology has made technical underwear genuinely practical for all-day wear
- The pouch construction popularized by Saxx has been adopted across the category for its functional superiority
- Growing awareness of moisture management has driven consumers away from cotton basics
What to Look For
- 1A hammock-style pouch keeps everything in place during lateral movements — this is the key differentiator
- 2Flatlock seams at the thigh prevent inner-thigh chafing during running and cycling
- 3Modal or bamboo blends feel softer than synthetic but sacrifice some moisture management
- 4Boxer briefs with a 3-4 inch inseam prevent thigh chafing without restricting movement
