Review: MyPakage underwear a great choice for the commuter cyclist

  • Ron 

If you’re a regular cyclist and if you regularly ride your bike to work (or even if you want to start), I’m sure that you’ve been occasionally stymied by what to wear for the ride.

Walk into most offices in full cycling kit and you’re going to get more than a few odd glances from your co-workers. Wear some casual cycling clothes and they’ll think that you’re busting out before the closing bell to hit the mountain bike trails. Sport your work clothes with bike shorts underneath, and you still need to do an uncomfortable change in the bathroom stall (or sit around in sweatly ill fitting bike shorts all day).

MyPakage underwear may be the solution.

This new underwear brand may just be the most comfortable underwear your package has ever encountered.  While not designed for cycling, I found that MyPakage’s incredibly soft and breathable package kept things in a dry and comfortable place on the sweatiest of days and bumpiest of rides.

The pouch is somewhat similar to the kukupenthouse found in Assos’ latest S7 shorts in that it provides a pocket for the twig and the nuts, keeping them out of the highest friction and sweatiest areas.

If you’re like me and have even the slightest bit of muscle in your legs, I’m sure that you’ve found that boxer briefs tend to ride up by the end of the day. Not these. Though there is no super high tech, laser cut, silicone embedded whatever in play here, the legs stay down and don’t bunch up in your crotch. Can’t I get an ‘amen’?

MyPakage has fits and styles for the needs of most guys. Sizes run from small to extra large and they offer a trunk style and tights in addition to the boxer brief style that I got to try out.

Now, the price is a bit dear. Boxers and trunks range in price from $25 to $30 and the tights go for $50. Still, I found myself wanting if laundry day came around and they were all in the wash (and they always were because I always wanted to wear them).

Whether you ride to work or not, cruise over to MyPakage.com to get your own. Don’t take mine. Not that you would. Ick.
