Kalsonger och boxershorts för herr

Tyg som för bort fukten.

Vårt garn är mycket fint italienskt ECONYL®, 100 % regenererad polyamid. Fibern suger inte upp fukt utan för den vidare. Smoothshell™ är stickat så att både fukt och luft rör sig fritt genom tyget. Därför känns underkläderna luftiga – i praktiken känns de knappt alls. I Stealth-serien är tyget Highland Smoothshell™, som förenar det bästa av merinoull och ECONYL®-fiber: torrt och varmt i kyla, torrt och svalt i värme.

Made for people. Not only ideals.

När kroppen ändrar storlek ändrar den också form. Därför konstruerar vi alla våra mönster i 3D utifrån verklig kroppsdata, så att passformen blir bästa möjliga för de flesta kroppstyper. Vi samarbetar med Vital Mechanics, ett kanadensiskt företag grundat av en grupp forskare från University of British Columbia. Produkterna tillverkas i norra Portugal av Impetus Têxteis S.A., ett familjeföretag vars fabrik hör till de modernaste i Europa.

The problem nobody says out loud

Sweaty balls. There, it's been said. It's a real problem with a real mechanism, not a punchline. You have certainly noticed that every brand is trying to convince you to be moisture wicking and breathable. Don't trust the adjectives on the label. Breathable is a promise nobody polices. Read the fiber content instead, the only part of the label required by law, and read what other customers say before you buy.

The science behind the underwear.

Don't know much about a science book? No sweat. Here's everything you need to know about physics of underwear.

Moisture-wicking underwear

Made from fiber that doesn't absorb sweat but conducts it to the outer layers, where it evaporates. The direction is set by the moisture gradient and fiber geometry: liquid pulls from wet toward dry, toward where the capillary channels are narrowest and the surface area greatest.

Capillary moisture transport

Moisture travels along the surface of the fiber without soaking in. In practice, a property of hydrophobic fibers only.

Why does moisture move away from the body?

Water vapor moves from higher vapor pressure toward lower, and vapor pressure rises with temperature. Next to the skin it is warm and humid; further out, cooler and drier — so vapor pushes outward. The body works like a heat pump. And because evaporation binds heat, it cools the skin at the same time.

What does breathability mean?

Not ventilation, but the rate of water vapor transmission, measured on the MVTR scale (g/m² per 24 h). Under 5,000 is a modest figure, around 10,000 is considered good, over 20,000 is enough for running and the mountains, and the best membranes reach about 40,000.

What is a hydrophobic fiber?

Synthetic fiber — polypropylene, polyester, polyamide (e.g. ECONYL®).

What is a hydrophilic fiber?

Natural fibers are mostly hydrophilic: they absorb moisture into themselves. Cotton binds the most; linen dries faster and feels cooler. Bamboo/viscose is regenerated cellulose that binds as much moisture as cotton, although it is often marketed as moisture-wicking.

Why does cotton kill?

When cotton binds moisture, air gets pushed out — and air is the insulating layer that keeps a human warm. Soaked fabric moves heat off the skin roughly 25 times faster than air: water conducts heat at about 0.6 W/(m·K), air at about 0.026. In mountain conditions, the heat loss that follows can be fatal.

Why doesn't merino feel wet?

Of the natural fibers, merino wool manages moisture best — by a different mechanism than synthetics. It binds moisture as vapor and stays warm even when wet.

Is synthetic underwear always a bad choice?

No. In quality technical underwear the pattern and the knit matter as much as the fiber: the best hydrophobic fiber fails if the knit or the cut is done poorly
