Thanks dude, they're next on my list to try with the Saxx then. Have you tried the UAs to compare them?

Underarmour Boxerjocks are the best I've found personally. Great fit, build and material, and they're almost dry as they come out of the washing machine.

Best techwear underwear is Ex Officio: http://exofficio.com/underwear/

So I went and bought myself a couple of pairs of Ex Officio Give-N-Go boxers (XO) to compare to my Underarmor Boxerjocks (UA). After a few weeks of wear, here's what i know:

Fit: The fit on the UA is much better than the XO. The XO has a lot of loose material around the crotch and feel quite saggy compared to the much snugger fit of the UAs. Both are similar fitting around the waist and upper thigh. If i had to wear my underwear in public (!), I'd definitely feel more confident in the UAs.

Material: Initially I was really impressed by the feel of the XO material, it's much softer than the very synthetic feeling UA. That said, after a couple of weeks of (obviously not continual!) wear and washing, the material is starting to pill on the XOs. My UAs are at least a year old and not showing any similar sign of wear at all.

Build: Very similar, apart from the XO have a well constructed double gusset which the UAs do not. Both are extremely comfortable to wear.

Conclusion: For me it's a no brainer, the UAs are a much better fit and the material is far better than the XOs.

If anyone has any other suggestions, i'm happy to try them out! I've heard good things about Saxx underwear so i might try them next.

You're asking us what we love about this?! (Cheers Keith!)

IMHO the best jacket Acronym have made, and I've had a lot of them. Personally I love the slightly baggier cut on it and from what I've seen so far I'll almost definitely be sticking with mine rather than the trimmer version dropping this season.

I was never a fan of the Epic or Nemen iterations tbh, the cut and style always favoured the rigidity of GT.  It's just one badass headturning piece of kit. All subjective ofc.

@Dolphinski

 

Same to you Xu, real pleasure doing business with you, would recommend you to anyone!

Also, big props to @chaosen for very kindly helping me out with a size trade. Great guy, highly recommended to deal with.

That just means SS18 will be Acrnm store only. They do this every few years, no need to panic.

Agreed, gonna be a bitch to keep clean though.

So I've been putting my Acronym gear through some hikes over the last few weeks. Unsurprisingly the Stotz (P24A-S) were horrible in warm weather, i lasted about an hour in them before i had to change into shorts.The shorts (Acronym SP3-X) were excellent though, even under really heavy rain i didn't feel they were unpleasant to wear. Last weekend i tried out a pair of P24A-DS on a challenging hike with a lot of inclines and declines in very warm weather. The pants were awesome, the stretch in the DS made movement effortless and i didn't feel too warm or uncomfortable in them at all, even more impressive considering the P24A's are pretty big pants with a lot of material.

Bootwise i'm rocking the Salomon Ultra-X2 Mids and they're super comfortable, pretty lightweight, great flexibility, grip and decent ankle support, and they're GoreTex. Apparently the Ultra X series run a bit thin so better suited for people with thinner feet like me. For anything short of serious mountains, they're a great boot imo. I had to size up a whole size for best fit though.

I've said it before in this thread but I wish they'd switch the trouser snaps to the same ones that veilance use. That damn button pop drives me crazy.

And (more of a feature request) I wish they'd upgrade the gravity pocket snap to a push pop design so you could open the gravity pockets à la Spiderman web shooter stylee. Would be super slick.

That Vexed Generation jacket tho! 

Not sure about this one...

I know a few of you guys do some hiking, mountaineering and exploring so has anyone got any recommendations for decent techwear for outdoor pursuits? Could be clothing, bags, equipment, etc.

Also, do you guys prefer synthetic or natural base layers?

You should have put a FreeKey on it, they're awesome.

Speaking of underwear, what brand do you wear? l spent some time searching for best pair while ago, so far my most favorite ones are d.hedral seamless series (warning the site features extremely macho imagery). l have enough pairs to wear them between washing and my oldest pair is like 3-4 years old and still 10/10.
