Review – Pikante 9226 Jockstrap

May 20, 2013 No Comments

When the package arrived i was curious of the content. When I opened it I found a nicely decorated flocked envelope with jockstrap marked. I opened to reveal its contents: a Pikante double effect jock strap. When I looked at them they were really a cross between a deconstructed brief and a jock strap more then just a traditional jock.

The seaming additional straps were a bit of a challenge… it took me 2 tries to get them on correctly but when i did i found a very comfortable pouch awaited. I wore them to work and then the gym. They did everything a jock should do, they held me well and moved with me and were comfortable. They will fast become one of the best jocks that I own. All through my work out they held my package and i almost forgot that they were on.

I wear a 35 so i got the XL. they were very true to size. They are true American sizes. So it is EZ to find your size that will be comfortable.

I like the comfort of the pouch and the design is so comfortable i could wear it all day. These are very comfortable with not binding or stretching. It is a basic redesign of a brief and has the exposure of a jock making it fun for the day or going out.

I love fashion and garment design and these are great on both levels. The straps wrap around to the pouch and do not come up in the back. They are held to the waist band by 2 vertical straps at the side. It made this a fun jock that is creative and different. This is 10 times better than the jocks from gym class but just as supportive.

Pros:

Comfortable
Creative
Fun

Cons

A little confusing to get on the first time
Could have brighter colors in the line

New Pikante for Spring/Summer 2013

March 16, 2013 No Comments

Pikante is one of those companies that always likes to have fun with their undies. In years past have done camo prints, bright colors and metallic. They enjoy creating sexy and fun undies. This year is no different. The new line has something for the guy who likes to make a statement with his underwear!

Here is a highlight of what I saw in Vegas last month. These should be out now at retail stores online and brick & mortar stores. If it’s not out it should be released shortly!

Intimo Anatomic Brief PIK-8641 – Purple has been a big trend in men’s underwear this past year. Pikante keeps this trend going with this great brief with a matching purple waistband! It also has a matching boxer the Intimo Boxer PIK-8379. Description: Brief with elastic band at the waist embroidered with the brand in contrasting color, this garment features a soft stretch fabric with stripes texture that gives elegance and modernism, comes in three colors. Composition: 93% Polyester, 7% Spandex.

The V-Mesh brief is solid in the front but mesh in the back, as you can see in the pics. Available in Red, White and Black. Description: Brief with elastic band at the waist embroidered with the brand, this garment is made of a soft stretch cotton that fits perfectly, the back has a sexy design with transparency.

The colors are the waistbands! Description: Jockstrap brief style, made in a soft stretch micro-mesh that allows body perspiration providing the necessary support, features contrasting color bias and elastic waistband embroidered with the brand. Composition: 90% Polyester, 10% Spandex.

Biologic Boxer and Piping Brief PIK-8368 and PIK-8369 – This is a cut, in both styles, they have had in previous collection. However, the print is new. When you see it in person it’s an almost snake skin print . It’s a geographic print that almost mimics snake print. It’s very cool.

Composition: 100% Polyester.

Purpurata Brief and Boxer PIK-8640 and PIK-8369. The one thing you can’t see in this pair is they are see through. While its not blatantly so but if you are a fan of mesh you will love these. The two pairs will show off more then you see here! Description: Brief with anatomical cup, this garment is made of a soft elastic material with sheer stripes texture that adds a sensual and elegant twist, with elastic band at the waist for a perfect fit. Composition: Polyetser 91%, 9% Spandex.

They are lower on the hips with a strap on the side to hole it in place. Available in Yellow, Red and Blue. Description: Jockstrap, cup made of an elastic material with glossy color, this piece features comfortable thin elastic bands around waist and legs that provide the necessary support.

Review – PIK-8635 Candy Jumbo Brief

February 10, 2013 No Comments

Recently, I have had the pleasure of reviewing Pikante’s Candy Jumbo Brief. The pair which I received is a small, colored in a light red color with black accents and is constructed using a fabric blend of 86% polyester and 14% spandex. The Pikante logo is stiched into the black waistband. This pair has a simple look which I really enjoy as it adds a certain simplicity to the brief. The front pouch is covered with a see through mesh material different to the other material used to construct the pair. Personally, I am not a huge mesh guy, but if you are interested in showing off once in awhile, this pair should certainly fit the bill.

The day in which I reviewed this brief was very busy. From classes in the morning to an hour run in the evening, I was able to put this pair of underwear through many tests and I must say that it performed very well. The polyester/spandex material used to make the rear panel feels amazing against my skin. It did tend to ride up very slightly, but I never really noticed it. This brief performed well too during my workout. Everything up front was held up and supported as I expected, but I will say that near the end of the run, my package was beginning to moderately chafe which I would attribute to the mesh fabric of the pouch. Along with this, while this brief is very comfortable, it’s not the best choice to wear under shorts while running for a long period of time. That is the cold air mixed with the exposed front pouch.

Pikante terms this underwear as a brief but after wearing it, I would term it more as a string bikini. With completely revealing sides and limited seat coverage, it reminded me much more of the string bikinis I have seen in the past. This is by no means a complaint, but more a general comment of my experience.

This was my first time wearing a Pikante product and while I very much enjoyed wearing this brief (bikini), I don’t anticipate wearing it on a frequent basis due to its revealing nature.

Pros:

Fantastic fabric blend in the rear
Strong waistband
High leg cut

Cons:

Not best for winter wear
Exposing front pouch
Front fabric chafes during extended physical activity

Fit: 4

Review – PiKante 8364 Boxer

January 27, 2013 No Comments

When I opened my latest review pair the other day, I was excited to see this hot number (horrible pun intended) by PiKante. Their 8364 boxer is an eye-catching micro mesh of a 93% Polyester/ 7% Spandex mix that is available in a light blue color with yellow contrast stitching and logo waistband. While I am a fan of logo waistband, the PiKante logo could probably use a little editing as it contains but a chili pepper as the “i” and an underwear-clad male form as the “t” – but that’s just my two cents.

On the day I wore the boxer I found myself doing errands and going to the grocery store. As they day wore on I found that it felt like the leg had rode up a tad and felt somewhat bunched at my thighs. Much to my surprise when I changed that evening the boxers were not actually bunched at all, I’ll admit it, I have meaty thighs and I believe in my case that the leg openings were a little too snug and that after a full day of errands, I really started to notice it. With that said, there was no chaffing or the like, it was just mildly uncomfortable; however, as comfort is paramount for me in my underwear, that did lead to my fit/daily wear ratings below.

I do however, have to compliment PiKante on the micro mesh that was chosen for the boxer. While it is partly shear, it is very discrete and does not feel like it is revealing too much or letting any part of your anatomy hangout – at least not anymore than it’s well-designed pouch is suppose to. Additionally, sometimes mesh boxers tend to have a flimsy feel to them and I am happy to report that these have a hardy build that definitely holds its own.

Overall, I really wanted to like these boxers, especially because of the color combo, but the leg fit is an issue for me. I hope that it might have just been this pair because I like the other features and would like to wear these more regularly than I will because of the fit.

Pros:

Sturdy construction
“Discrete” mesh

Cons:

Snug leg openings

Ratings:

Fit – 3
Materials – 5
Construction – 5
Look – 5
Daily Wear – 3
Overall – 4.2

Review – Pikante Disco 45 Mosaic Brief

Pikante 80’s Mosaic Jockstrap

February 17, 2012 No Comments

When I first received this jockstrap, the words that entered my mind were, ‘you can’t be serious’. However, being the open-minded person that I self-proclaim, I was open to trying the innovated design and construction that sets this manufacturer apart from their counterparts. Based on the quality of materials and yet unconventional style, I was eager to put this jockstrap to test.

This particular line designed by Pikante called ‘80’s Mosaic’ a jockstrap with wide elastic and the waist embroidered with the brand in a contrasting black color. It’s made of soft cotton printed with tiles in earth and blue tones that give a modern twist. This jock provides excellent support while being comfortable at the same item. This pair is comprised of 93% cotton and 7% Spandex materials.

I pushed the envelope a bit and gave this jock a real workout at the gym recently. It provided adequate support as a good jock should and still felt comfortable and unobtrusive in supporting the goods. I was totally pleased with the visual appeal and fit of this jock which says a lot for a guy who prefers the traditional trunk for everyday underwear.

In summary, with warmer weather just days ahead for most of us, if you’re looking for a new jock to add to your spring collection, you might strongly consider this manufacturer. However, if you’re simply looking to add some sex appeal to your underwear collection, Pikante also provides a variety of additional jockstraps, thongs and several see through pieces, which is reflective of their tag line as ‘Spicy Underwear’.

Personal scoring as follows:

Fit:	4.5
Materials:	5.0
Construction:	5.0
Look:	4.5
Daily Wear:	4.5
Overall:	4.7

This jockstrap was provided by Pikante and can be purchased from various online retailers listed on their website at the following: http://www.pikanteunderwear.com/
