TRUNK IN MICRO TENCEL™

Sale price  $25.00 Regular price  $50.00

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

Great fit, great feel

These boxer briefs are great! They are comfortable and durable as well. They're not just for looks I've played sports and worked out in them as well, they have not shown signs of wearing out yet.

Amazing fit and feel

I highly recommend the trunks. The quality of the material is amazing and the fit and feel are unmatched. They’re so cool and soft - you’ll really enjoy wearing them.

FORM + FUNCTION

Didn’t think I’d have strong opinions about boxer briefs, but here we are. These are surprisingly solid — fabric so smooth, snug without feeling tight, and they stay in place...all day. Not at all flashy — quiet luxury that does its job effortlessly.

Steve P,
Fantastic comfort and support.

These trunks are the best. Perfect fit and support without binding. They have retained shape and elasticity better than other high-end brands that I own.

Best underwear on the market

Used to wear Calvin Klein like a fool. Then I discovered athletic articles. Never looked back. Thank you for changing my life.

The Best Underwear I’ve Ever Worn!

These underwear are an absolute game-changer. Incredibly comfortable and breathable, they genuinely feel like I’m not wearing anything at all — in the best way possible. Perfect for hot summer days when you want to stay cool and dry. The lightweight fabric lets my skin breathe, and there’s no pinching, riding up, or annoying seams.

What really surprised me is how confident and good they make me feel. It’s like they disappear under clothes but still give you that fresh, supported feeling all day long.

If you’re looking for underwear that keeps you cool, comfy, and confident — this is it. Highly recommend!

Better than the rest!

I have tried all the “mass market” underwear over the years (Jockey, UA, etc, etc.) but Athletic Articles is the only one that checks all the boxes. I love the fit and the fabric is amazing.

Perfect 👌

The described comfort is truly appealing. Softness against the skin is a highly desirable quality. Staying in place throughout the day provides a sense of security and confidence. Such comfort allows for ease of movement and a focus on daily activities. It's wonderful to find something that fits so well and feels so good.

Best underwear I've ever owned

Fantastic. Just fantastic. They're like ice cold water on a hot summer day. The perfect fabric for any occasion and lifestyle. I can go from the office straight into a run in these without having to think twice. A true premium product for any man that cares about the details.

As Steve Jobs once said "When you’re a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, you’re not going to use a piece of plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will ever see it. You’ll know it’s there, so you’re going to use a beautiful piece of wood on the back. For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through."
