You're over thinking it.
You're not going to be sleeping on a canoe waiting any second to tip over. Its as simple as if the body of water is so big you can't reach shore at night, man, are you in too small a boat. The entire problem with this best drying wicking philosophy is ultimately you don't give a shit wool insulates better wet than cotton because both of them wet sucks. Same goes for synthetics. It really is as simple as keep dry clothes for sleeping at night. Trunks during the day and your normal clothes at night, the simplest answer is the answer. I have wet suits I keep in my boat for winter time have to get into the water, I don't want to be sitting around in that damn thing more than I have to. I'd freeze my ass off. Same goes for swim trunks. What you going to do if you swim late, stand grotch over a fire? Go to sleep with wet synthetic between your legs and your balls? Nah, throw yourself a 2-3 pairs of Hanes or whatever in a tied off garbage bag, and don't over think it. You'll just end up tactical cool or yuppie spandex and miserable. Tj |

Under Armour boxer briefs. Fully synthetic, wick nicely, and dry quickly. +100, get the ones with the longer legs(IE they almost go down to your knee). I use them for running and they're awesome. +1 All I wear for work, dress, working out, camping, everything. Exofficio costs more and wears out faster. I have UA boxer briefs that are 10 years old and actually made better than the new stuff I own from UA. still... get long UA briefs and you will be shocked hou waited your whole life to try they. Seems silly, but it is not. |
