Paddling Clothing…….Underwear
It’s a sad day for paddlers. Well, paddlers shopping for underwear that is. Let me fill you in. Cabela’s makes one of the best pairs of paddling draw’s around. They are the Cabela’s MTP Compression Skinz Tech-Weight Boxer/Briefs, but Cabela’s has decided to discontinue these awesome underwear.
I took 3 pairs of these things with me on the St. Johns, and they were great. Keith only bought 1 pair, and boy is he regretting it now. Don’t get me wrong, there are many companies that make great underwear, but it was the price that made these such a great deal, $19.95 (and you could catch them on sale for $16.95). Compared to the $30/pair that many other companies charge for a similar product, and these babies dry fast. You can wash them in a sink, bucket, coffee cup, or in the river, wring ‘em out, & 30 mins. of sunlight will make them as good as new.
Here is what Cabela’s says about them:

Outdoor enthusiasts have discovered the comfort, warmth and support of the compression-fit base layers athletes have long relied on to keep them performing at their peak. Now we have taken this technology to a new level with MTP Compression Skinz. This high-performance base layer incorporates a compression fit with the odor-killing antimicrobial power of X-StaticĀ®, a silver-coated textile that is woven directly into the 100% polyester fabric for permanent and natural anti-odor, antistatic and thermodynamic properties. Silver technology is so effective, it allows you to wear the same base layer over several days without worrying about odor. Like the traditional compression-style base layers, these have a snug, body-conforming fit that maximizes warmth, speeds up moisture wicking and allows the garments to move with you during periods of high exertion. These tech-weight briefs and boxers are engineered for use during extended periods of exercise in milder weather conditions.
Oh, and head over to their website, if you wear a XXL.
Sound’s good right? Are you sold? Sorry no dice. Well I guess I am searching for a new supplier of paddling underwear, any suggestions?
