Rockwood Underwear is ready to rock the Underwear World!

No Comments

1176317_577367095660604_1297625948_nRockwood Underwear has come on to the underwear scene. They are doing something I think is pretty cool! We got a chance to interview Rick the owner. This is what he has to say about the company!

We wrote up Rockwood up a few weeks ago but tell our readers about your brand? What made you make Limited edition underwear? 

First, I’d like to introduce myself.  I’m Rick, the designer for Rockwood.  I started Rockwood after I decided to follow a dream.  I heard the quote “If you enjoy what you do for a living, then you never have to work a day in your life.”  This quote made sense to me so I set out to find something I enjoyed or had true interest in….. underwear happened to be it!  For Rockwood, I want to produce underwear with bold colors, crazy prints and all things in between.  A lot of brands do the same thing so I figured I had to set Rockwood apart from all the others.  I do this by making every pair Limited Edition.  Only 500 pairs will be created for each style across the sizes.  This is not 500 pairs per size, but in total.  By making every style Limited Edition, that cuts down the chance of finding someone else with the same pair as you.  It’s the exclusivity that we want people to experience….that “I have these and you don’t” feeling.  LOL

Another thing I want people to know about Rockwood is that I want to keep it real with my customers and followers.  I’m a normal guy, just like them, who had a dream and worked to make it a reality.  I want them to see a friend in me so I have since started a blog.  There you will find postings about what’s going on with Rockwood along with personal postings about what’s going on in my life.  You can also find what’s posted on our Instagram account @rockwoodunderwear.  I encourage you all to check out the blog at  http://blog.rockwoodunderwear.com/ .  Follow along and check back often.

How often are you going to change the pairs?

I know most designers follow the Spring/Summer Fall/Winter design seasons, but I want to keep it more revolving.  When we get something produced, I want to release it.  I don’t want to keep our customers waiting for something new.  Besides, we wear underwear all year round so it makes sense to just keep it revolving.

In the pairs you have created do you have a personal favorite?

Aside from the obvious answer of “I love them all,” I do have a personal favorite.  I love the Electric Orange Trunks that we have out right now.  At the moment, I’m more of a trunk guy so I fell in love with the fit.  The bold orange with the kickass printed waistband just makes it all the better.  Then to top it off, printed on the inside of the waistband is a playful tagline that you may want to show off.  I recommend you all to give them a try!

Any styles or colors you have found have been best sellers?

The first style that sold out was the White Boxer Briefs.  It’s a staple for anyone’s underwear drawer so I can see why it sold out so quickly.  We thought people would stick to a certain cut/style when placing an order of multiple pairs.  However, we have found that a lot of people mix it up.  We find a lot of people order briefs and trunks, prints and solids, and any mix in between.  I think this is great because it shows me that people are down to try different styles.  I know from personal experience, I want to wear a certain style when I’m doing different activities.  This seems to hold true for most others.

What’s coming up for Rockwood?

LOTS!  We want to take Rockwood as far as we can.  We’ve got ideas for new designs and styles running through our heads and we can’t wait to share them.  This is why you all should check the blog out to find out what’s new.  We also encourage people to check out our Instagram account.  People are able to easily give feedback and we encourage people to interact with us on Instagram.  My favorite thing about all of this is connecting with people.  This is why I love it when people Like and Comment on our posts.

I’m grateful for being able to participate in this interview with UNB.  I just want to spread the word about Rockwood and keep it real with all our followers.  I want them to see that “friend” in me and join me on this journey.  As I mentioned before, this is why I throw in personal postings on the blog.  I make no promises on proper grammar though….I guess that’s just part of keeping it real with you all. Haha!

Style Brief Extreme Master Bodysuit from UnderGear

No Comments

AM331_BLM_E13 This is a bit of a mash up for a Style Brief and a review. The Extreme Master Bodysuit was on sale for $10 in a two-day sale on UnderGear and I decided to buy it. I have a friend, (shout out to Kevin) who bought it a while back and he looked awesome in it and I had to get one. So, when the 2 day sale had it for $10 I jumped at it.

The bodysuit is like a jockstrap with straps that go over shoulders. Therefore the front has a pouch and the back has straps like a jock that go up over your shoulders. Let’s face it if you love fetish wear this pair is HOT. More and more guys (gay and straight) are buying fetish wear. I will admit I have loved it for years but don’t have anyone to wear it for, so it kind of gets lost just wearing it alone.

This is not a pair I think you can or would want to wear under clothes. I say this because the straps criss cross in the back. Granted it took me about 15 minutes to figure out how to put it on. First, at my defense I was a bit tired and it was late. Second, it’s not a pair you just slide on.

I discovered you have to put one side on at a time. The strap on the right front attaches in the left back and vice versa for the other side. Once you figure that out it’s a very hot pair and fit pretty well. Granted I didn’t like the way I looked in it but hoping to lose some weight to look as good as my friend Kevin in it!

Where would you wear this pair? Well, to me there is only one place you would wear it, and it would be in the bedroom. I don’t see this under jeans, a suit or any other area. And, since we are all underwear lovers there is nothing wrong with having fetish wear just for the bedroom. We all have undies we save for special and romantic occasions.

My take on the Master Bodysuit. I think it’s totally hot. I am letting my wild side out with it. It’s not recommended to wear under clothes, I would say save this for someone special and enjoy an evening with them. Its underwear and isn’t it supposed to be sexy and fun!

The Master Body Suit is at UnderGear for $25. You can find it on sale but remember the first time you put it on it may take you a minute to figure it out!

Review Blue Collar Underwear The Skateboarder

No Comments

UNB SkateboarderI’m kind of sad this is my last review of Blue Collar Underwear. I have really enjoyed wearing them. They are a really great underwear company you guys should check out. I saved the Skateboarder Trunk as the last pair. As you know I’m not a big fan of trunks/boxer briefs and this one didn’t have the really great pouch. So I figured why not (and I temporarily misplaced it is the real reason). What? Yes I do misplace things.

The first thing I LOVED was the waistband. Green is my favorite color in everything and in underwear it really draws me to a pair. So the waistband and green stitching I loved. Although the lack of pouch really had me worried. I never do well with pairs that are flat in front. It doesn’t hold things in place and after a while it drives me crazy. I mean so crazy the pairs have to go and I usually bring an extra pair of underwear to change into.

I hesitantly slid on the pair and hoped for the best. The first thing I noticed, unlike many other pairs, it did fit me pretty well. There wasn’t any worry of things moving where they shouldn’t. Granted I didn’t know if this would hold up but was hoping for the best. These are made to be an “athlete’s dream trunk” as they say on the Blue Collar site. I would agree with this statement. They would be great for working out or being active.

I really was surprised how well these held up for the day. I don’t know how it created a pouch. There is no defined pouch like previous pairs and it looks just like a regular pair of trunks that I am not a fan of wearing. As I have said before that Blue Collar is making underwear for real guys. They are one brand you are going to have to look out for in the year to come.

Sizing on these were perfect. Unlike the Snake Charmer, these fit great. As I have said I’m 6’4’/245 and 38 waist. These fit 36-39 and really were super comfy. They didn’t ride up or bind at any time. The one thing I hate about trunks is they ride up in the legs. I don’t know how they made these but it’s a win-win in every area.

Pros:

  • Green Waistband – love green
  • Created a pouch – when I didn’t think it would
  • Breathable material

Cons:

  • This pair I can’t think of any other than it may make me rethink my dislike for boxer briefs

Ratings:

  • Daily Fit – 9.5
  • Sizing – 9.5
  • Construction – 9.5
  • Styling – 9.5
  • Daily Performance – 9.5
  • Overall – 9.5

Garcon Model New collection Interview

No Comments

Garcon-Modell_Underwear_Tyler_Kenyon_Mansion-Brief

So tell us about the new collection. What sets is apart from the previous collection? 

This season it was important for us to hold on to everything that made the success of our first collection. Ultra soft fabric, perfect fit and a bold aesthetic. With this new collection we wanted to celebrate spring/summer with a bold approach. We have really brightened-up our offering by introducing these fresh new colors inspired by the energy of Miami. There is something really celebratory about this collection!

You did a crowd fund strategy, who did that work for you guys? Was there any thing that surprised you doing the campaign? 

Our Kickstarter campaign was done by us and we had a blast! The concept is brilliant. What better way to connect with our existing customer base and new ones at the same time. What made it work for us was really the interactivity of our campaign in which we ask backers to select their favorite designs in an array of options.

Will you do another crowd funded campaign ? If so what did you learn that will make it better?

Kickstarter is the best way for us to consult with people beforehand and make sure we bring them what they need. The main aspect is to really try to innovate, bring a value added to the backers. You want to take them on a journey with you and make them become part of the team.

Do you guys have a favorite pair in the collection? 

It really depends on which mood I’m but right now it’s the Mansion brief (bright pink with titan grey)! I’ll have to check with the rest of the team to get their favorites as well!

What do you think sets Garcon Model apart from other underwear brands? 

We’re definitely in the business of making men look sharp and fitted. At the very core of our values we believe everyone should look stylish in whatever form that takes. Our goal is to provide men with tasteful underwear that brings a little fun and stylish edge without going overboard. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

Waistband are super important to me, so what made you do the #flashyourwaistband ? 

Waistband is the most visible part of the underwear and it’s the one element that people will get a glimpse off. Our infinity waistband has been hugely praised and has now become a signature style. It’s also a statement of who you are. The brand of your underwear can tell as much about you as a whole outfit can, so you might as well be proud of it and flash it!

What is up next for Garcon Model? 

We will be expanding our wholesale distribution throughout 2014 with department stores and online retailers to ensure that Garçon Model is positioned alongside other premium underwear brands. We have lots of new products down the line that we can’t wait for people to see. So definitely stay tuned! We’ll also be introducing a brand-new look and a more muted palette of colors for the winter months.

Review Blue Collar Underwear Snake Charmer – Black

No Comments

DSC_0163__78826.1399443510.1280.1280This is my fourth pair of Blue Collar Underwear. I will say I’m impressed with them so far. The pair I’m reviewing on this review is the Snake Charmer Trunk. This pair I was super excited to get. The material felt amazing when I took it out of the bag. Super soft and felt almost rubber like. The second thing I noticed was there was a print on the pair. It was printed in black on black fabric so you really had to look to see it. It was super cool! This one was so much fun.

I slid them on and well…it didn’t fit. It was a bit too small. I was super bummed. I didn’t want to get a pair to review that I can’t fit in. Granted I don’t have a large backside, but it didn’t cover me completely at the top. I was really upset I love this pair. I decided to give them a try anyway. I figured they are on, the worst that would happen would be I would have to take them off during the day at some point. This wouldn’t be an issue because I had tons of errands to run and would be running in and out all day.

As the day went on I totally forgot that the pair didn’t fit me. Which too many I know is hard to believe but I did. I ran around and the pair didn’t slide down. I still find it hard to believe that it didn’t. I bought a pair once, I won’t name the name, but it didn’t fit and as the day went on it totally slid down. So I give them props for this and the awesome material.

The material is 95% Viscoseand and 5% Spandex. I don’t believe I have ever had a pair made out of Viscoseand before. I loved the feel. Much like the other pairs I have reviewed they had a defined pouch. They have really mastered the great fitting pouch. When you look at all their pairs each style has a great pouch. Lastly is the print, I love how subtle it is and how it adds to the pair with out making it appear over the top.

I wore these on errands like I said. So it was a some what busy day. The smaller size really didn’t detract from the pair. After I put on my jeans I never felt them being small again. I know it seems crazy but it didn’t bother me the rest of the day. I forgot midway through the day and wasn’t till that night that I remembered.

Sizing, well this one really didn’t fit me that well. I am 6’4”/245 and 38 waist. This said it fits 36-39 but I have a feeling it’s more 36. I don’t know if it was mislabeled or just a miss size. The other pairs I have reviewed never had an issue. We all can buy a one off that doesn’t fit 100% perfect. Every brand has them and I would say exchange it for a new one if you do.

Pros:

  • Love the materials the Viscoseand felt great
  • Again can’t talk about the pouch enough
  • The design printed was super fun

Cons

  • Sizing – it didn’t fit me
  • Some guys may not like the smaller trunk design

Ratings

  • Daily Fit – 8
  • Sizing – 7
  • Construction – 9
  • Styling – 9.5
  • Daily Performance – 8.5
  • Overall – 8.4

Blue Collar Underwear furnished this pair of underwear for review. You can find it at their site for $23.00. Don’t let the sizing get you this is a great pair, super sexy.

Whats HOT in the UK for May from Dead Good Undies

No Comments

The weird and the wonderful

It would appear that there’s a naughtier side to many underwear drawers across the pond. DGU have revealed that some of their shall we say… unconventional and off the wall designs are rapidly becoming even more popular with their UK shoppers. Whether this is about dress up or something a little more fetish, they certainly appear to be having fun.

Body Art Flerio Zipped Body Pant Modus Vivendi Leather Chained Jockstrap Gregg Homme Impulse Top MANstore M306 Dog Band MANstore NOS M101 Kinky Scarf MaleBasics Lingerie Tie Me Up Bodysuit

MaleBasics Lingerie Tie Me Up Bodysuit GBP41.00

This may not be what you first think of when you read “tie me up” but it will certainly make an impression. Combining a deep V-neck crop top with a sexy thong bottom that’s attached by a series of elasticated straps.

MANstore NOS M101 Kinky Scarf

MANstore NOS M101 Kinky Scarf GBP32.00

It may not be a scarf in the conventional sense or have the ability to keep you warm but for some reason we don’t think that’s the point behind this. The “scarf” goes between your legs with a small thong back and up over your head in one strip of thin material.

MANstore M306 Dog Band

MANstore M306 Dog Band GBP29.00

They say that a dog is a man’s best friend. This bondage style neck decoration is made from a strip of lacquer effect fabric with three press studs and silvery chain.

Gregg Homme Impulse Top

Gregg Homme Impulse Top GBP157.96

Have you ever wanted to be a gladiator? Battling wild animals and fellow humans to the death in the Coliseum? Well this top can help you make believe. Soft material drapes over both shoulders to form an X shape at the front and back of the torso. Faux leather and silver look buckles complete this fetish style brilliantly.

Modus Vivendi Leather Chained Jockstrap

Modus Vivendi Leather Chained Jockstrap GBP46.00

Break free from the shackles of society and chain yourself up in a much better way. It has metal chains that go around the waist and underneath the bum cheeks holding in place a twin layered leatherette pouch.

Body Art Flerio Zipped Body Pant

Body Art Flerio Zipped Pant Body GBP64.00

This leatherette onesie is given a raunchy feel with see through tulle panels down either side and a metallic zipper running up the centre. It’s a sexy twist to a classic look.

Review Blue Collar Underwear Fireman Brief

No Comments

UNB Fireman BriefI hope you have enjoyed the last two reviews I did. The City Brief by far has been my favorite. But now I’m on to the Fireman brief! I’m super excited to try a brief. Granted the other pairs were called briefs but they were more of a trunk. I admit I’m a big brief fan. It’s the style I wear most!

The Fireman brief is a nice brief cut. The first thing you notice is the pouch. It’s a very great designed pouch to give you plenty of room and support upfront. The pouch as contrasting piping in black, that off sets and accents your pouch! I found the pouch to be very supportive and plenty of room. It felt great during the day. Lastly, is the fabric it’s made out of a 95% cotton and 5% spandex. I would have loved a higher blend of spandex but it still felt great!

I wore these on a lazy day. Unlike the last pair that I put through it’s paces, this one was for a relaxing Sunday. I will admit it as super lazy and a much needed rest. When I lounge around I want a pair that is super supportive and holds everything in place. This pair did just that. I was able to just hang out in my undies and relax. We all have those days where it’s an undies only day to watch movies and relax.

The one consistent thing in Blue Collar undies has been the pouch. I love how they have paid attention to that. I definitely have a need for a pouch that has room and support. Sometimes it can be hard to find undies that fit properly. So for that my hat is off!

Sizing was very good on this pair. Like I have said I’m 6’4”/245ish on a good day. The sizing for this pair listed as 36-39. My 38 waist really felt good in these. They didn’t bind or constrict me through out the day. I can say with confidence if you pick the right size you won’t be disappointed.

Pros:

  • Traditional Brief Cut – which I love
  • Good supportive Pouch
  • Sizing was spot on

Cons:

  • Wish they had more colors – just black and white
  • Materials were great just like more stretch/spandex blend

Ratings:

  • Daily Fit – 9
  • Sizing – 9
  • Construction – 9
  • Styling – 9
  • Daily Performance – 9
  • Overall – 9

Impressing in the Locker Room

No Comments

Timoteo-Rugby-Collection-08I’ll admit it, I have a wandering eye when it comes to the locker room. But let’s face it: locker rooms, besides their obvious function, are temples to non-verbal communication. Per etiquette, glances are to be kept at eye-level (though that’s so much easier said than done), and extended nakie time conversations are to be avoided. Whether you’re gay, straight or somewhere in between, your underwear speaks volumes without you even realizing it. It can mean the difference between being respected as someone who cares about their appearance beyond the physique, or derided as the guy who’s got no game.

While I suspect that all this nakedness is less a sensitive issue for gay men, our straight brothers can be made to feel awkward. We’ve all been there or seen those guys exiting the shower, walking over to locker #34, and then sliding on their after-gym underwear while still wrapped in a wet towel. Guys, we understand your trepidation. There’s always a chance that you’re being sized up, so why risk overexposure? All the more reason to wrap that package up in something appealing for the big reveal. Eyes will inevitably wander, so show off your best.

No one should be caught in droopy drawers. You think your nakedness is over-sharing? What about those 5 year old Hanes boxer briefs with the bacon-inspired waistband and ‘vintage’ holes. If you can afford a $45 (insert ironic hipster band name here) concert tee, surely you can splurge an Andrew Jackson for a kickin’ new pair of undies. So let’s chat…

Maybe your issue is not so much showing off that carefully sculpted posterior as it is dangling your naughty bits for all to gawk. Jockstraps are a happy medium between nakedness and full coverage. Frankly, that’s why they were invented. They offer excellent range of movement, near-zero bunching, breathability for the aforementioned bum, and plenty of support for ‘the boys.’ They’re also incredibly versatile. You can wear them before, during, or after your workout (though we wouldn’t recommend using one pair for triple functions). Some of our current jock favorites include the C-IN2 Grip and Timoteo Cellblock

Perhaps modesty is a must for you, but the thought of sliding on a pair of cotton briefs, after a hard workout and a hot shower, is none-too-appealing. No one wants to feel clean only to then walk out of the locker room with a developing case of swamp ass. Fret not! Most modern underwear brands are happily experimenting with fabric blends, and even some mesh components, for maximum breathability and plenty of support. May we direct your attention to the Malebasics Spot Brief and Andrew Christian CoolFlex.

Never sacrifice fashion over function. They go together like ball 1 and ball 2.

As always, check out our reviews for the latest introductions from your favorite brands, and even some brands just coming onto the scene! We do our best to highlight the performance aspects to help you make the best decisions for gym/active wear. If you have any suggestions on pairs we should review, let us know. Help our locker room brothers evolve!

Review – Sly Collection Zebra Brief

No Comments

sly-zebra-briefsToday I had the chance to review a new brand that I had never seen before which was very exciting to me.  I was also excited about the chance to introduce my thoughts on this pair with all of the UNB fans.  The brand is Sly and I had the pleasure of reviewing the Zebra brief.  When I first opened the package I was excited to see the familiar black and white pattern thinking to myself “well, I don’t have anything animal print’ and excited to slip them on.  It reminded me of when you used to hear comments about being naughty for being red underwear, now it’s my wild zebra print!

Upon first feel, the cotton material was very soft to the touch which made me excited because I knew comfort was a clear goal for this company.  They are bigger than most of the briefs I wear but should be perfect for the man that is looking for something shorter than a trunk but covers more than a small bikini.  I wear a medium and they stayed true to size for me.  They seemed to fit just right, not feeling constricted or loose.  I also noticed a small black pocket on the side of the pouch about the size of a little square.  Let’s be honest.  If you want to wear these in hopes of taking them off at the end of your date, you don’t have to keep your condom in your wallet.

I decided to give these pair a run over the weekend as they seemed very comfortable looking for a day of relaxation and me time.  I slipped them on after my morning shower and prepared for a day of house work, errands, and spending time with friends.  They felt great when I put them on.  The material was very comfortable.  After a few hours of wearing the underwear, I did begin to feel partially constricted in the front.  The pouch did not give me as much support as I need and I found myself adjusting myself quite often.  This could also be because I am used to smaller briefs.  I would have liked to see a little more room in the pouch for additional support to keep everything comfortable throughout the day.  Everywhere else the pair fit me great.  I never had any problems in the back which is a relief when it comes to constant movement of sitting down, walking, and moving around.  This is a huge benefit for anyone who knows how it feels to constantly feel like your underwear is riding up!

I normally wear a 32 inch waist pair of pants and medium and most of my underwear. I reviewed the sly brief and a medium and I can honestly say it was true to its sizing and my 32 inch waist. I did not feel that the underwear was too tight or too loose so there was no need for me to even think of trying on a small or large because the medium fit perfectly. Many underwear brands can sometimes be misleading because they’re sizing does not match up to what we are accustomed to however sly did not do this to their customers. They managed to pull off the correct size and the correct scale for comfort.

Overall, this underwear held up good for my day.  Unfortunately, at the end of my day, I slid them off, condom still in its pocket.  Maybe next time 😉

Pros:

  • Fun print
  • Creative compartment with pocket for money, condom, key, etc.
  • Soft, comfortable material

Cons:

  • Not enough support in the pouch
  • Style – hope there is a smaller style (bikini like)

 

Ratings

  • Daily Fit = 7
  • Sizing = 9
  • Construction/Materials = 8
  • Styling = 7
  • Daily Performance = 7
  • Overall = 7

Style Brief Anthony Quintana Underwear

IMG_8778(2)I LOVE finding new underwear companies for you guys! I know many of you out there want something your friends don’t have, and I’m guilty of wanting new and fun undies. Also, if you’re like me when you see someone in a brand you haven’t seen before and they look great. You have to find out who the brand is and are jealous someone has something different and new.

When in Vegas I got the chance to see Anthony Quintana at magic. He had some amazing new undies in colors and patterns. They are in different styles and it just has an sense of fun in underwear. Granted, classic underwear has it’s time and place, but let’s face it we ala l want undies to make us feel amazing and fun. I think Anthony Quintana is one of those brands. He’s one who designs in bright colors. You will see yellows, oranges, purples and all sorts of really fun bright colors.

The styles also range from bikinis to long boxers. Its great to see a designer cover that range in different styles. Nothing worse than loving underwear just to find out it’s not in your favorite style. I know many out there love a certain style such as  trunk/boxer briefs while others love bikinis/briefs. Anthony Quintana has both styles for you!

There are a ton of pics here and if you want to see more check them out at the Anthony Quintana website – http://shop.anthonyquintana.net/. Also check out the pics in the Gallery below!

Review Blue Collar Military Camo Brief

1 Comment

UNB....Navy Blue Camo

After my last review from Blue Collar Underwear I was super excited to try some more. For the record they sent me 5 pairs to review. So you will read a lot more about the brand in the next week or so. The City Briefs just had me loving the brand. Would this love continue to the Miltary Camo Briefs?

The briefs are more of a trunk to me. Unlike the City Briefs these were more of a cotton fabric rather than nylon. This made me wonder if they would hold up through out the day as well as my previous pair. Without hesitation I put them on and set out on my day. I wore these to a really long and active day. I helped a friend out and worked an event for 13 hours. This was no ordinary day. Getting the day started at 5 am and non stop till 7 PM.

The first thing I noticed on the pair was the camo color. I liked the use of blue rather than the traditional green. It is a lot of fun. The next thing is the material. It really breathed well through the day. However, it didn’t conform to me as the City Brief did and at times it rode up a bit. Not a great deal but it was noticeable. This could have been due to everything I had to do during the day. I think if it had been a regular day I wouldn’t have had any issues. Third is the pouch, which was great. Blue Collar seems to have a great pouch in every pair they make. It gave me ample support during the day. There is nothing I hate more than a pair that looses support in the pouch. Why bother having undies if it doesn’t hold up and these did all through the day.

Sizing in these were very good. As I have said I’m 6’4” and 245ish with a 38 waist right now. These fit waist sizes 36-39 waist. Granted I’m on the upper end but it still fit pretty well. You should be able to find the right pair with their size chart. Like with all size charts if you’re on the boarder of a size you may want to go for the larger size.

I will say I am becoming a fan of Blue Collar Underwear. I have three more pairs to get through. One I temporarily misplaced, but I did find! They will be out next week or so.

Pros:

  • Great Camo Print
  • Supportive Pouch
  • Breathable Material

Cons

  • Rode up during the day
  • More of a trunk than a brief

Ratings:

  • Daily Fit – 8.5
  • Sizing – 9
  • Construction – 9.5
  • Styling – 9
  • Daily Performance – 9
  • Overall – 9

Blue Collar Underwear furnished this pair for review. You can find these at their site for $21.00
