Product Information

Maybe boxers aren’t for you. If they’re not, there’s no need to worry as you’ll find a selection of briefs to choose from too. Coming in classic Y-front and fashion designs, these are made to keep you comfortable wherever you go. Stay warm A proper workout puts strain upon certain areas of your body that regular day-to-day activity doesn't hit. That's the point. But most men's underwear is designed purely, and solely, for the day-to-day. Soft cotton seams aren't built for muscle trembling squats. Worse still, any sort of rigorous cardio can elicit the sort of chafing that'll bring a whole new level of soreness to your recovery period. CXP's founder Tom Austin began to formulate a balm. "We've had experiences of working with Premier League players who were getting Primark underwear from the kit man. They suffered mid-game chafing and broken skin – incredible when you consider the innovation involved with team strips and boots," he says. "Sports specific underwear such as CXP is specifically designed to improve sports performance by actively supporting key areas which ordinary underwear doesn’t do." The newest style on this list, trunks are a shorter version of the boxer-brief and have grown in popularity with the rise of super-skinny trouser styles over the past five years or so. When it comes to length, they tend to sit from the mid- to upper-thigh. Some come with a keyhole fly, but usually the style is flat-fronted and sometimes includes an extra pouch of fabric for added support and... "enhancement".

The best way to evade the straight shots is to Slip or step to the side. Let's look at the most common situation for two boxers in orthodox stance:You can thank the leg length. In the underwearld, trunks (like the swimwear) finish just below the crease where thigh meets pelvis. No more fabric riding up, but not quite super tighty whities either. Above all else though, Brugger advises that your own comfort should take priority over specific styles or shapes. "Men are usually practical shoppers, so in addition to underwear fitting well, it has to be comfortable to wear, and also easy to maintain. Put the comfort and feel of your underwear above all else." Remember, the best defense is your offense. Think about adding a punch like the rear uppercut or a cross as you come out of the weave. Another advantage for guys with slimmer legs is that their tight fit means trunks will not leave a bunch of excess fabric around your thighs, making them appear thinner. Look out for a pair that bisects your thigh at its widest point, as this will emphasise that width and make your legs look more muscular. One way to ensure that your opponent will hit nothing but air when they throw the uppercut is to pivot your body on your front foot as they throw it.

Considering they’re the first thing you slip into every day, underwear is probably the last item in your wardrobe you put time into researching. It’s worth doing so. Getting the right pair in your armoury not only means you'll feel better all day, but your clothes will hang better too.If you read your opponent and suspect they will throw two consecutive hooks (front, rear), you may want to weave twice. This is often the case when your opponent becomes desperate and reverts to their natural instincts of throwing less controlled punches. These punches are often wider and you will have more time to react if you stay composed, possibly creating an opportunity to end the fight. Evading Uppercuts: Pivoting Briefs are also good for shorter guys, as they expose more of your legs, making them appear longer and you, therefore, taller. However, this style’s breathability means they are the best choice for sleepwear – go for a pair in 100 per cent cotton in either a solid colour or a cool pattern with a trim, tailored waistband.
