Under Armour with my Kilts...Who'd have ever thunk it?

[Riverkilt]

So this summer, planning for the raft trip down the Grand Canyon I knew I'd be with about 2 dozen teenagers, most female. Went to my local sporting goods store to see if they had any quick dry black underwear. Knew I'd need underwear with my kilt on the river to be safe in the whitewater and mounting and dismounting the raft. Salesman recommended a pair of Under Armor compression heat gear shorts. I wore them with my kilt on the river and had no problems with "wet butt itch" or accidental exposure.

I found I kinda liked them. Of course I prefer underkilts and FREEDOM....but sometimes its best to be cautious. I found I really liked the feel of these undershorts and when I needed to wear underwear with my kilt I'd choose them over my boxers or jockeys. They're 84% polyester and 16% something called elastane...which must be the stretchy part.

What I like about them is I don't feel "bunched up and contained" when I'm wearing them...they are long legged so offer good protection for the kilt from my skin. And with other underwear it takes away any fear of accidental exposure - especially if children are about and they are a solid defense against false accusations of exposure since the black fabric goes so far down the leg anyone "peeking" would see black rather than flesh and not confuse thigh meat for something else.

Was wearing them with my Arizona tartan kilt today out on the reservation and realized how comfortable they are. When I got back to town went to the sporting goods store and bought two more pair. Wanted three more, but they only had two pair in my size. So now I have three pair for trips where underwear would be needed.

Course, I'm guessing most of the rabble is way ahead of me and I'm just discovering these wonderful undershorts.
