BRIEF IN MICRO TENCEL™

Sale price  $22.50 Regular price  $45.00

Standing naked in front of your open dresser you’re faced with a decision. Today is packed, so you’ve got to choose the right underwear. You can go with cotton underwear but they get a little damp when you’re doing a lot of moving, and polyester stays dry but becomes a smelly sauna after just a few hours. You can always wear the “sexy” pair with that other guy’s name on the waistband.

But you’ve also got a special pair — the Superman of your underwear selection. They’re capable of handling any situation. They swaddle you in soft, lightweight, naturally cooling fabric that comes from nature herself. They give you a feeling of freedom and confidence that comes from being unrestricted and undefined. They make you want to dress better, stand taller, and do more. These are your choice. These are Athletic Articles underwear.

What is TENCEL™?

TENCEL™ is a bioengineered fiber that comes from trees. To create TENCEL™, cellulose is extracted from wood chips and then regenerated to form a new type of cellulose that has advanced performance features including: 

  • A smoother and softer feel
  • Higher moisture absorption and faster release
  • Increased strength
  • Lower bacteria retention = lower smell retention

Best Underwear Ever

Ive tried multiple different brands and shapes, over countless pairs purchased. This is hands down the best feeling and performing underwear I've come across. The materials and construction are second to none. Whether sitting at my desk all day, or spending hours running, this underwear stands up to the test.

Game changers

These briefs are seriously game-changing. Honestly feels like you’re not wearing anything – super soft, no bunching, stays put all day. Once you try these, you can’t go back to regular ones. Totally worth it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Super comfortable, breathable and durable. I use them for everyday from casual wear to exercising. You will not be disappointed. Excited to see what else this brand creates.

favorite pair

Love these. Bought a pair to test, then bought 19 more and got rid of all my other pairs of underwear. Super nimble and comfortable, no branding, locker loop is helpful at the gym. They breath great. Very happy.
