After a long day of adventuring, the only thing worse than smelling your companions is smelling yourself. The good news is that sweat-wicking technology and the advent of seamless stretchiness have helped undergarments come a long way since the days of all cotton, all the time. Here are some superb men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 options for staying dry, stink-free, and comfy.

Tommy John Air Metallic Icon Trunk ($45)
This 聽makes up for its price with a super-thin, quick drying, antimicrobial nylon mesh fabric that鈥檚 so lightweight, soft, and breathable that you鈥檒l forget your wearing anything at all.
