Good way to frighten others on the trail.

But yet…I am tempted….

underarmour heat gear i'd guess would be pretty light.

don't know the weights but could easily be found at most sport stores.

Chafe sucks my friend, royally.

Patagonia makes a fitted Capilene 1 boxer brief that is good, I have an older version of this pair that works well under a pair of Baggies with the liner cut out:

Pair those with a light application of Bodyglide and you should be golden.

Thanks guys (and gal).

Eugene – do you find that they ride up the leg any or with the Bodyglide, it won't really matter?

I've been happy with the Golite Mesa Trail shorts. They have a built in boxer brief liner that doesn't ride up like most er, "independent" boxer briefs. Come in 5, 9, and 12 inch inseams.

I like the Target C9 brand at $9.99.

They come in different lengths and cost $9.99. I had Underarmor before this, I like the C9 better, the waste band has held up better and at 1/3 of the price I like that better.

The Wal-Mart brand seemed fine too, they are two for $9.99 but they didn't fit me right.

I wear them for all 4 seasons. I like the version with the ventilated front panel. I've worn other compression shorts and the heat gear are my favorite.

Ex Officio Boxer Briefs work well for me. Like Eugene, I cut out the liner of my Patagonia Baggies. The Baggies have awesome deep side pockets, wear well, and breath well.

I have a pair of TNF Voracious 2 in 1 shorts that I really like. They have a really thin compression liner built into the shorts, and Ive had no chaffing issues since wearing them. The drawback is that to change into or out of base layer bottoms means that I have to fully nude up, which can be kind of inconvenient…

Not to mention embarrassing. Chicks just don't buy the "Hey! It's cold out here!" excuse in the middle of August…..

No problems for me with ride up when wearing looser cut shorts.

I don't walk without my under armor heat gear pants on.
No chaffe on the thighs at all.
As an aussie with hot weather chaffe can be savage. Mine are the vented front ones.

Just put a light pair of shorts over the top and your good to go (unless you just hike in tights……)

and they came in at 120g on my wife's digital baking scale.

Just buy some body glide. it comes in a stick like deodorant. much better than petroleum jelly, ie not smeary, stays in place, etc at reducing friction,etc. then you don't need special clothes. look for it in triathlon or running stores.

I tried that alone and still got some chaffing. The running short scenario worked much better for me.

Body Glide is your friend.

I have some of the long cap 1 patagonia underwear that was referenced earlier. I have had several pairs for about 3+ years. I hike about 5-10 miles weekly and chafe without them. These have held up tremendously and I would suggest them more than anything else. Coupled with gold bond powder, you'll never chafe.

I just ordered two pair!

Thanks for everyone's responses.
