We are back with our 4th installment of Men’s underwear! Who knew?! You can click here to see my first post, and here for the more recent 2nd and 3rd posts – which includes some background on multiple undergarment companies – each with unique styles, cuts, fits, and colors . Yet, there are still more companies to delve into, and this post will seek to highlight those!

Impressions:
I generally figure that new underwear are probably much like new shoes – you want to break them in slowly so you know what you are dealing with before you go crazy. However, I didn’t heed my own advice and took my pair of Runderwear out on a 16 mile run, basically immediately after pulling them out of the box. But I’ll be damned if it wasn’t the right decision, as they held up to challenge and exceeded all expectations.
Obviously, with a name like Runderwear, it stands to reason that they were created with the runner in mind. From seamless construction to moisture wicking fabric to perforations designed to get rid of more moisture – they are truly dialed in with a runner’s needs. During that long run, I experienced no chafing at all and I remained comfortable the whole 2+hours. At only around $17 on Amazon (or around $20 for the boxer brief version), they are also affordable and right in line or cheaper than other underwear or compression short/brief brands.
Follow Runderwear on Facebook. They also has women’s styles, as well as some socks and headwear.

Brand: Mosmann
Style: Active Trunk Ulysses
Cost: Approximately $29
Specs: 95% CoolMax, 5% Lycra
Description: Engineered high performance underwear with humidity control and Joey support pouch which keep it all in place with any rigorous sporting activities.
Mosmann Active utilizes fabric technology with COOLMAX delivering optimum performance, control skin temperature and body hydration. Dries quicker than any other fabrics keeping you drier and fresher.
Impressions:
Mosmann seemingly has their act together. As I mentioned in my Loungewear post, the have some comfortable and well-constructed items coming out of this Australian company. This one of the more fancy looking underwear I have reviewed, with a multiple-toned (spotted) design. The Mosmann Active Collection is their first venture into “performance underwear”. And they did a heck of a job.
While their other underwear lines use the modal for moisture wicking (like the Noir Lounge Pant), each pair in the Active collection is constructed from the 95% CoolMax/5% Lycra in an effort to keep things cool when you are running or working out. Add in a well-constructed pouch, and you have yourself a solid pair of workout underwear.
During my tests, the waistband also held up to it’s end of the bargain and I did not have any dropping or moving issues.
Mosmann also has women’s styles, as well as loungewear, casual wear, socks and swimwear.
