Here at the Underwear Testing Range we will be taking as many Brands and styles of men’s underwear that we can get our hands on and putting them through a wear routine out on “The Range”. Which is basically a normal day’s activity of a regular guy at work, recreation, or sometimes even relaxing. For myself this may include running various pieces of heavy equipment at work (Heavy Highways and Bridge Construction), physical activity such as hiking, fishing or hunting in the mountains, working out or running, travel, vacationing, or just working around the home, woodworking shop and the camp property.

The goal isn’t to put the underwear in a top ten list or a competition to find out who is best. It’s not just a try-on or a thumbs up or down blog. Instead we wear each underwear multiple times to really see what works and what doesn’t for the regular guy out there trying to scrape out an existence and be comfortable while doing it. You will also notice that we don’t focus much on colors, patterns or how sexy it looks. These factors are more of personal taste to an individual and would be impossible to evaluate its value for review. The goal is to provide you with the results of the field testing and hopefully help you explore different or better options. Maybe even introduce you to something new. Now I know that some of us know what we know and like what we like. I thought I did until I started this little project. But, I have now come to realize that there are other choices out there and I only had to expand what I thought was my comfort zone.

I hope this blog will prove useful in your hunt for a better pair.

A bit about my physical anatomy, so that when I describe a size or fit in my reviews, it may provide you with a better frame of reference or comparison as to how a product may fit or size for you. I am not a professional athlete or sculpted male model so there’s that.

• I am 6’-4” tall
• My weight is about 245 lbs (At start of this project) and yea I’m packing some extra weight. Guess I would describe my build as husky.
• I size in a 36” waist for pants, so I usually wear large in underwear but sometimes that may range from a medium to X-Large depending on the Brand and country of manufacture.
• My normal pants inseam is 34”. I do have long muscular legs so I have to watch out for leg inseams that are to tight on the thighs or to short (when in long johns).
• The “Package “ (without being to graphic) I would say is larger than average with some girth and hefty nuggets. Nothing extreme, but does require ample room.
