It's very much a peronal choice and may depend on trial and error. I've experimented with both cotton boxers and briefs and the results vary from trip to trip.

If chaffing occurs, I find rubbing vaseline into your groin helps a lot, and if it's very sore then Germolene is excellent.

Yes chafing does occour and I forgot to mention this. But some fabric types and brand names and competitors to get started would be very helpfull.

Helly Hansen base layer underpants / boxers are good. Quick drying and as far as I recall . . . . no chaffing :-/

The simplest solution is to go hill walking in Scotland. Then you don't need to worry about hot weather.

Always enjoyed wearing underarmor synthetic long briefs . Long length is important to protect the upper thighs, and I find it breathes very well.

You could try a kilt, air cooled, very fashionable in the north and perfect in the current heatwave

Something synthetic and long in the leg without fabric which can runkle and bunch seems to be what gets good reviews from reading around.

Decathlon Kakenji are great, they wick the sweat away and don't hold the smell!

Paramo trunks are comfortable and wick well. RAB do something similar and are usually stocked by Go Outdoors.
