Allbirds, the footwear company beloved by cool dads and the sustainable style savants, just launched their very first Trino boxer brief . Yes, that means Barack Obama, Chris Pratt , and any guy whos ever experienced the heavenly comfort of Tree Dashers or Wool Runners can now score underwear featuring the same eco-friendly, breathable materials.
The genius of Trino, which stands for the combination of their Tree and Merino materials , is that the fabric combines all the functionality you want in top-drawer underwear. Moisture-wicking? Check! Breathable? Check! Cooling? Ch-ch-check! Eucalyptus tree material in the fabric makes it cooling and breathable, while merino wool naturally wicks away moisture and provides a soft feel. Cotton is great for T-shirts, but when youre baking in the summer heat, cotton underwear can become a soggy situation (sweaty guys know this triggering feeling). Plus, if youre environmentally conscious, cotton is typically grown using harsh pesticidesyikes.
As an underwear enthusiast with too many pairs in my wardrobe to count, I try to stick to the same underwear brands and styles I know have the fit and feel that works for me, so usually Im not willing to experiment with new underwear releases, but man, am I glad I tried this underwear out. First of all, its extremely lightweight. Truthfully, its probably the first pair of underwear Ive ever worn where I almost forgot I was wearing anything down there. The smooth texture skims your body without clinging in an uncomfortable way and the seams on the legs wont constrain your thighs, which is something guys with muscular legs will always have trouble avoiding.
I admit, when it comes to the debate of boxers vs. briefs, Im very pro-briefs for my crown jewels to feel securely in place, but these boxer briefs deserve a royal honor for optimum comfort without harming the environment. Basically, its just another reason to spend my hard-earned dollars at Allbirds and this king isnt mad about it.
