Have you had a dilemma over what to wear underneath your clothing while on the trails? You may have considered riding unpadded in ordinary underwear, or wearing Lycra underneath. But what you really want is an integrated undergarment that fits properly.

Sportswear brand Craft could have the answer, launching a line of cycling-specific boxer shorts for men.

The Cool Bike Boxer looks like a standard boxer short but fits like Lycra and offers a padded, anti-microbial seamless and ergonomic 3D chamois area for parts more sensitive than others…and it’s quick-dry  too. The polyester fabric integrates six channels in each fibre’s surface for effective moisture mamagement and cooling properties.

The gender-specific padding effectively transports moisture (it says here) to the outside and dries quickly. Wash the Cool Bike Boxer after your ride and you can more-or-less put it back on straight away.
