Review: New Balance Sports Brief 9

New Balance is one of the newer entries into the men’s underwear market.  They are best known for their footwear and not their underwear; however I think this may change.  The entire underwear line is very sports focused which is broken into performance, lifestyles and essentials.  I am seeing underwear for sports and active guys really take off.  This doesn’t just include a jock, but boxer briefs, briefs and shirts as well.

The pair I reviewed is in the performance line—the Sports Brief 9. Don’t let the name fool you, it’s not a brief but, a longer boxer brief.  As many of you know I’m not a fan of boxer briefs, especially longer ones.  This pair, however, is the exception to my rule.  I did enjoy the pair except for one thing—they were very warm! They were warm, not because of the material, but because I wore them to an event that was hot from the moment I got there till I left. Had I known that, I wouldn’t have worn them that day. These would be perfect for a cooler day.  Summer, on the other hand, would not be the ideal day to wear them all day.

The pair itself fit quite well. I was very happy they kept their shape and that the legs didn’t ride up. They are made from 83% polyester and 17% elastine which makes them super stretchy.  The length is longer than most.  The pair has a 9 inch inseam while most traditional boxer briefs are around 4-6 inches. The colors available are red, blue grey black and white. I got the red pair which I think was a great color. They are really great underwear for running, being active or working out and give you extra support in the legs when you need it.

What I liked:

  • Support they give through out the day
  • Colors are not limited to black and white
  • They held their place all day
  • Very reasonable price

What I didn’t like:

  • They were extremely warm
  • Wish they had a cooler waistband (I love great waist bands) it’s pretty plain

New Range from Modus Vivendi: “Colour Explosion”.

We loving bringing you guys new undies. Modus Vivendi is out of Europe. Its one I don’t think many of you guys are familiar with, if you like something different then take a look at Colour Explosion. Here is what they say:

The new collection of Modus Vivendi is here, and it is a “Colour Explosion”! Andy Warhol said: Once you “got” Pop, you could never see a sign the same way again. We present you the first part of the new collection called “colour explosion”, inspired by “The” Pop artist .
It is “popular, young, witty, sexy, gimmicky, glamorous”.  This veritable shopping list of adjectives (borrowed by Richard Hamilton) describing what exactly “Pop” Art is, was the spark of the whole new collection! We hope you enjoy them all as much as we do!

Go to the Modus Vivendi site (http://www.e-modusvivendi.com) to see all the collection, some are mesh and we can’t show!

aussieBum New Flaunt Range

aussieBum has a new range, or line as we call it out. It’s called the Flaunt range. The big thing you notice is that it’s got some really great colors. There is no boring white and black here. But that is not all that makes this great, the material will really fit you well. They use a modal spandex blend that conforms to your body. It will fit you like a glove and move with you.

I love a really great waistband. aussieBum has given us some of the coolest ones around. This line doesn’t disappoint. It has a matching color waistband with the aB name tilted. If they show above your jeans/shorts, you will get noticed.

Flaunt is available in a brief and hipster aka trunk. The pairs each have coordinating color on each leg, with the exception of the red. The main color is matched in the waistband.

The new colors its available in are:

  • Red – Brief & Hipster
  • Yellow – Brief &Hipster
  • Olive – Brief & Hipster
  • Grey – Brief & Hipster
  • Blue – Brief & Hipster
  • Green – Brief & Hipster

They are both available at the aussieBum site. The Brief is $29 where as the Hipster is $32. Price will vary due to the exchange rate.
