From the material in this article, you will learn about what they are and how they are called correctly, what are their pros and cons, what they are made of and how to choose the best option correctly.

Underpants are an important part of a man's wardrobe. They were popular in the 19th century, being considered a complete replacement for trousers. At that time, underpants were worn by women, it was the riding clothes of wealthy people. The products prevented rubbing of the skin of the thighs with the hair of the animal. Over time, women stopped wearing such clothes.

These clothes are worn under trousers or jeans in the cold season. Depending on the model, their length can be standard or shortened. The underpants are characterized by a snug fit to the body and do not protrude over the main outfit. They don't have socks or footwear: these pants have elasticated cuffs to keep them from pulling up.

Unlike trousers, the upper edge of the pants is decorated with an elastic band. Rare models have buttons and a fly. Others have a hidden opening, which also performs the function of ventilation. They are worn over panties, using as thermal underwear.

Pants have many advantages. They do not squeeze organs, promote heat exchange, distributing temperature evenly throughout the body. In addition, they differ:

• functionality and usability;
• ease of wearing and aesthetic appeal;

They are suitable for men with different sensitivity to cold, warm the body, absorb sweat, do not allow moisture to pass through, and protect the skin from rubbing with coarse outerwear.

Along with the, underwear has several disadvantages... For example, not all underpants are created equal. Buying the ones that actually work is not easy. As a rule, such clothes do not differ from ordinary counterparts and do not warm the body too well.

Sometimes, when buying certain models of a particular brand, you may encounter a discrepancy in the size range. For this reason it is undesirable to take them online. The model can be small, and the exchange to the buyer sometimes costs almost at the price of buying a new product (which is explained by the cost of postage services).

Modern men's underpants can be very diverse. They differ not only in the material of manufacture and thickness, but also in their purpose. They can be classic, army (old-style), children, teenagers, men. The products may have a belt elastic of a contrasting color.

Other modifications have contrasting stitching in the fly area, as well as stripes of manufacturers' trademarks. According to their purpose, the underpants are divided into 3 types: classic, sports and thermal models. Each type of pants has its own characteristics. Some are worn in the army and in everyday life, in others they go in for sports, and others are used for fitness.

Thermal coveralls are distinguished by a greater degree of fit. They are less thick and have high heat-saving functions. By the type of execution, they can be single-layer, two-layer and three-layer. They are made from mixed fabrics, where synthetic fibers prevail. There are no more than 30-35% natural threads.

These are models with fleece and warm underpants that warm the body in cold weather. They have an additional insulating layer. Tourists, fishermen and hunters use such clothes when going on winter hikes. At the same time, modifications are often supplemented with a fly, as well as a button or snap fastener.

Sports counterparts differ in the material of manufacture and the number of layers. They are thinner than others, have windproof properties, but they do not save you from the cold. They are useless to wear in winter in cold weather, they are not suitable for everyday wear. These garments are designed to provide maximum freedom to the wearer during exercise.

They are moisture-wicking and remove sweat very quickly. Products of this type are divided into 2 types: seam and seamless. They differ from classical, as well as soldier's, military counterparts in the material of manufacture, fit and fit.

Less often, you can find transparent underpants on sale, which, despite their specificity, are a popular product. They are worn on a naked body, while the spicy part is covered with an opaque insert. These are mainly summer models intended for the hall, made of fine fabric.

Seamless underwear is made on a special machinex (hosiery knitting machines). Such clothes can be worn under tight jeans or skinny trousers, they will not stand out against the background of outerwear. The difference between such pants is elegance and maximum softness: they do not rub or irritate the skin in problem areas.

Modern thermal underwear for the military has no fundamental differences from the standard one. It can be heat-saving, moisture-absorbing and hybrid, it differs in the type of cut and dark protective colors. It is a durable underwear characterized by lightness, good drainage and thermal insulation.

Models for the military can be three- and two-layer. They are worn on the naked body, as it can replace a couple of layers of outerwear. Other modifications are distinguished by reinforcement in the knee area, as well as in the groin. This is necessary to protect the body while wearing body armor.

In the production of pants, natural and artificial raw materials are used. Its composition provides certain operational qualities of underwear. There are three types of thermal underwear.

• Natural is made from cotton or wool. Such underpants are rare, and they are not often taken, because natural fabrics perfectly absorb moisture. The body in such underpants can sweat, and freeze without exertion or movement. The exception is bamboo fiber, which is skin-friendly and not harmful.
• Synthetic are made from polyester, polypropylene, microfiber and elastane. Due to the special properties of artificial threads, such thermal underwear does not shrink or deform after each wash. It retains heat and does not absorb moisture, but does not have a "breathable" structure.
• Combined models are made of synthetics with the addition of woolen or cotton threads. Merino wool and cotton are used for such pants. These underpants are characterized by high heat-saving properties and environmental friendliness. However, their moisture resistance is not as good as we would like.

As for the rest of the species, they are sewn from different raw materials, taking into account the degree of activity and the type of models. For example, brushed pants are made of natural wool and fleece. Fleece, lycra, and other synthetic materials are used in the production of sports. Transparent ones are made of silk, single-layer ones are made of cotton, wool, satin, synthetic threads. Models for children and teenagers are made of cotton and wool.

Considering that underpants are worn under clothes, there are no special requirements for their colors. In view of this, they are mostly calm and nondescript. Most often these are gray, graphite and black colors. In addition to them, there are options for sale in beige-gray, beige-green and marsh shades.

Less often in the assortment of manufacturers there are white models. However, they are impractical and become less attractive with each new wash. Men buy them not too willingly, in contrast to analogs of army and black colors. Kids' models may differ in other colors, including bright blues, greens and other tones. Depending on the design, these items are often decorated with decorative stitching, logos and prints.

Many leading brands are engaged in the production of men's and children's pants. In the field of underwear manufacturers, there are several brands whose products are in high consumer demand.

You need to choose the right pants for men or children. This will allow you to avoid discomfort while wearing and get the best option. When buying, you need to pay attention to a number of criteria. The key one is the size of the underwear.

You need to choose the size that a man wears in everyday life. Do not take a larger or smaller product, this will lead to sagging of the material or restriction of body movement. Do not take underpants that squeeze the body in the groin area. The correct size will help maintain the correct thermal effect.

It is necessary to buy the product with a fitting. The fit of the products is different, the underpants are not at all universal, they can have not only a standard but also a low fit. If possible, you should give preference to seamless thermal underwear. In this case, underpants can be included with a jacket and thermal socks.

Choosing a model for frequent wear, you can look at the options with synthetic threads. Thanks to them, the shape remains unchanged, such pants do not stretch the knees. In terms of tactile sensations, the softest are the fleece and microfiber models. Woolen underpants may seem prickly, although they are considered the best in terms of heat level. However, they are not universal and not suitable for allergy sufferers.

For everyday wear, you can take a single layer of thermal underwear. It is comfortable and does not cause discomfort. The two-layer has a more complex structure; it is bought for active sports winter activities. Its lower layer can consist of cotton and wool, the upper one is made of synthetics (acrylic, elastane, polyester). In such underpants it is not cold even in cold weather.

If you need pants for active sports and long-term wear, it is better to pay attention to options from 100% polypropylene. During operation, such pants will not get wet. They are excellent at absorbing odors and are suitable for water activities.

Three-layer underwear is suitable for allergy sufferers. The bottom layer of such thermal underwear is treated with antiallergenic impregnation. The other two layers are exactly the same as the two-layer analogs. These clothes are quite warm and of high quality. These pants are sold mainly as a set with an undershirt.

The underpants of the budget line differ from their analogs in the shape of the cut. The tight-fitting trousers have a groin area, which makes them more comfortable to wear and do not have excess sagging material. Low cost products do not have such inserts. They are sewn like trousers with an elastic band without gussets and other inserts to improve the anatomical shape.
