I have a couple of Icebreaker bras for hiking/touring and have found them to be a worthwhile investment, particularly when staying in huts.

To be clear, I mean Icebreaker the brand of merino clothing (so fast drying/not holding smell of sweat) rather than a maddona-esque bra in order to save on the cost of an ice axe.

I'm thinking that that's really not an area which I want to get too hot, sweaty and itchy...
Lace for me: for its ventilation qualities of course .

I'm thinking of getting some merino boyshorts as I suffer from a cold backside when I'm skiing, even when the weather's not that cold. I want to go on Dragon's Den with heated pants as a new invention - just the buttocks and top of thighs !!
Are they any good?

@HoneyBunny, Electrically heated pants. You'd be in your element.

@Scarlet, one of my favourite games with heated seats is to slyly put on someone else's. It's usually a good few minutes before they realise

I'm thinking of getting some merino boyshorts
|
I like mine, @HoneyBunny, and wear them all the time when it's not cold enough for the full merino long johns. They dry very quickly and as I always wear pants underneath they don't go in the wash every night. I only have one pair - bought in a sale.
I wear my (cheap, Aldi) merino base layers sailing too - so they are well used, washed lots, no problem.
I had a Patagonia merino top which wore very thin and started shredding - wasn't very long-lived at all.

Thanks, I think I might invest then (or should that be inpant?)

My internet history must be a bit  at the moment...
I'll swear that Buffalo Systems used to make some pile/pertex undercrackers but, much as I've tried, I can't find a picture of them. They must have been pretty toasty!

I may have gone a step too far when I bought a Merino Sheep.....with the idea of spinning my own yarn and then getting Lady F (who has serious skills), to make me some.
I was interested to see how much underwear I could get from one sheep, from one shaving.
The answer to the above question was.....None!
It turns out that I bought one of the world's very few "Racing Sheep", so we have been unable to catch it. I didn't foresee this as a problem, as I have a Samoyed Husky with herding instincts...but it turns out that this only applies to Reindeer.
The upside is that our Husky has recently shed her coat, so I'm going with "Samoyed Smalls". There certainly seems to be an ample sufficiency of soft, odour-free, hypoallergenic fur...enough to make many, many pairs.
Can I interest anybody else in the surplus? You will have to be quick though, as molting only happens twice a year.

@Old Fartbag, So you'll be making sheep smugglers rather than budgie smugglers then?
|

Apparently one of the most hygienic materials for underwear is cotton. Many tests say Merino wool is harder wearing than cotton although the arms of longsleeved tops and socks don't last as long as other manmade materials - for me at least.
Wearing normal knickers (esp thongs & non-cotton) beneath sports underwear (e.g. under Merino wool boxers or cycling shorts) is a lot less hygienic.

"Barking Base Layers" is the possible trading name.

I have a vision of every rescue dog in the three valleys area chasing @Old Fartbag down the mountain in his dog scented trollies.

I'm going with an "Aromapant" design, so will be smelling like a scented candle, which might throw them off.
I'm thinking of joining HoneyBunny on Dragon's Den.....maybe we could even team up and go with "Heated Aromapants."

Probably depends on whether his harvested dog was a boy or a girl... Eitherway he'll be needing a new fartbag.

...I could then hire myself out for special snow events....where the budget didn't stretch to the Red Arrows.

You could team it with that ski-cape contraption and complete the look - 'Dambusters March' blasting out of your personal bluetooth speaker, barely audible over the cacophony of a whirling ball of enraged/horny St.Bernards pound down the piste at your heels..
And they say the legitimate theatre is dead!

FAQ
+ underpants = much hilarity ) I've ordered 3 pairs which could work for a whole season. Wear 1 and the others either clean and ready to go or drying. I will let you know if I think it's worth the money
