Anyone else with Cold Junk? (underwear question)

[Doug Briggs]

I once won a rabbit fur lined jock strap for fastest DH run at Aspen. It was custom made and, yes, very warm.

I wish I had a photo as I wore it on the outside the following day for the SG.

^^^ Yup.

OK, back to advice: I have two pairs of Smartwool briefs with a nylon wind panel sewn on top. Almost too hot unless it's really cold/windy.

I use these: https://gearwest.com/swix-mens-race...6BR-4nJI6ccAL53Bb5Er5Ru5efdcZDjhoCJ6sQAvD_BwE

With the use of breathable outer layers (Arc'Terix and such) wind is a problem. Higher breath-ability means higher wind penetration. So the boys do get cold. I wear these Swix shorts over the long Underarmor underpants. Works like a charm.

I knew I shouldn't of read this read. Now I see these ads. Oh well.

I use polyester basketball shorts as my midlayer. That seems to help front and back.

How did I miss an underpants thread?

Looking for a underwear for cold blower days with a longer cut and a windproof section for "the boys".

If wind is your concern (you know, like when you forget to zip up and you feel the rush of cold air where you shouldn't), I saw this the other day browsing on their site for some base layers for my bike rides. No experience with it, though a bit expensive. The high back and windstopper fabric coupled with a bit of the au naturel insulation, should help keep things warm.

I would like to thank you all for this thread.

Not gonna lie, I really kind of appreciated the term Cold Junk, it would be a good brand name except that it's not a good thing. But I googled it anyway, and found a funny discussion on reddit that included this little gem of a rimshot:

"When snowboarding, I used my crotch to warm my hands. It never got cold."
"Oh, I use gloves!"

Something feels weird about having read so many posts about how to keep another man’s junk warm.

I think I’ll go have a drink now and pretend it didn’t happen.

P.S., @Ron the solution is an extra smartwool hiking sock, perhaps the lonely one the laundry monster did not eat, installed as anatomy dictates prior to donning the real base layer.

Do we get a rabbit fur bikini thread next week?

 

[David Chaus]

Layers, dude.

I have Ibex (RIP) Woolies 1 (lighter) for warmer days, and Woolies 2 boot length (mid-weight) for colder days. Icebreaker and Smartwool probably have equivalents. On colder colder days, I add a Powestretch boot length layer.

I also have insualted Patagonia pants when I need them.

The problem with layers that warm is one gets swamp ass in the car.

 

[UGASkiDawg]

So many possibilities here, but I’ll refrain.

This woolen jock strap should prevent the swamp ass.

 

[Michael Kane]

another problem with layers, is that one always has a fly and the other always doesn't

 

[Ron]

TMI - I never use the fly,

Have you tried not manspreading on the lift?
