Review: Equmen Precision Underwear

UNBTim — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 22:00:38 +0000

I have reviewed Equmen a few times for UNB. I think the first time I wore them was about two years ago. The one thing I really noticed was a difference in their shirt from other undershirts. The brand has stuck to their core (pun not intended) business and make a great product.

This is a review unlike most we do; it involved two different pairs from Equmen. I received the Precision Core Undershirt – Singlet and Precision Underwear – Boxer Brief. Those who have read the blog know I am not much of a boxer brief fan. So when I opened the package, I wasn’t too excited, I was hoping for a brief. But I”ll get to that in a sec.

I wore the pairs to work and hoped for the best. The first pair to review is the shirt. I have the regular t shirts from Equmen and hoped they lived up to my previous reviews. I put it on and realized I had it on backwards. For those of you who have put on what is called “shape wear”, you know getting it on is not an easy task. So I put it on the right way, and I will say the singlet fit really well. It makes you pay attention to your posture, meaning you notice you stand up very straight and tall. Which is a good thing. I really like them and how it fit. I wish I had 5 or more pairs so I could wear them to work.

Next up is the Boxer Briefs. I know I can hear many of you going, here it comes, and this won’t be a good review. However, these boxer briefs were pretty darn amazing. I am not one for one for boxer briefs that don’t have a pouch. These were, for a lack of better term, ordinary looking when I opened the package. So when I put them on I hoped they would last through out the day. Much to my surprise they really held their form and felt great. It is one of the few times that a boxer brief fit me like a brief. This pair will be going in my drawer and go into regular rotation, rather then be banished to the second drawer. This reminds me of the saying, Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.

Another thing I must add is that you would think with the technology, you would be hot all day. This is not the case. It is the opposite. The two styles really breath with you though out the day. There is nothing worse then underwear that doesn’t breath and you feel like you are melting in.

Pros:

The shirt really increases your posture
Boxer Briefs held their form all day
It doesn’t get you hot and breathes with you

Cons:

The shirt is hard to get on
Colors are limited to white, black, grey and blue

Criteria	Singlet	Boxer Brief
Fit	4.5	4.5
Materials	5	5
Construction	5	5
Look	4.5	4.5
Daily Wear	4.5	5
Overall	4.7	4.8

I would recommend these to anyone looking for performance underwear. It is perfect for working out or every day wear! These were furnished for review by Equmen

We love ot see underwear companies profiled in main stream media. Here is what Equmen sent us:

The Steelers may have lost on Super Bowl Sunday, however Equmen scored with former Pittsburgh football icon Terry Bradshaw in his Today in America feature profile of Equmen.

When you can get the attention of football-great Terry Bradshaw, you know you’ve got something special going on!

Equmen, the pioneer in making men’s slimming/compression garments a mainstream product across the globe, was featured on Terry Bradshaw’s Today in America Show on CNN, this past Saturday February 5th.

Review: Equmen Trunk and Singlet

UNBTim — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 19:00:24 +0000

I get another chance to review Equmen! This brand has been around for about two years and seems to be ever growing. They were one of the first in shaping/performance underwear. The purpose of the brand is to make you look slimmer and give you better posture.

I first have to apologize for the lateness of this review. I received them in early November and the package got misplaced. I had to search the house to find it, which I did and all was well.

The two pairs I’m reviewing are the singlet (tank) and trunk. I was glad to try out the singlet. The fit is very well and does the same as the t-shirt. It really does give you great posture. When I wear it, I notice a difference in how I stand. The shirt makes you stand straight as well. It’s nice because there are times when I don’t have the best posture. The other great thing about it is that no one notices you have it on. It’s your secret!

The trunks were very well fitting as well. I normally don’t care for trunks/boxer briefs but these were well made and fit everything snuggly. I wore them out to a busy day and they kept their shape and gave me great support.

Review: Equmen Precision Long Trunks

UNBTim — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 19:00:09 +0000

I was really excited when I got these. Our friends at Fresh Pair sent us a few pairs to review. I have reviewed the trunks about a year ago, but was really excited to add these to my collection. I really loved the Trunks. I was hoping for the same with these. The best thing is they match the blue ones I already have, so I can wear them with what I have! So having them matching is a good thing.

I have recently started my own biz, outside the underwear site, so I do a lot of networking and meeting people. Which it never seems to stop, so I need underwear with incredible support. I don’t want to be adjusting things in the middle of a meeting. So, I wore these to a busy day of networking and running around. I wanted to see how well they would do through out the day.

They really are good pair. They are made to give you support and comfort through out the day. These were a perfect pair to wear. They are made out of really good quality materials. The materials consist of Nylon, Micropolyester and Spandex. These ensure that the fit is great and hold up over time.

A note that they are pricey but in my opinion they are def worth it. Its great support through out your day. So if you are going to be active I would say definitely invest in them. They won’t let you down.

Equmen Signs Two First Class Australian Cricketers as Ambassadors

UNBTim — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 19:00:32 +0000

Equmen recently announced the addition of two First Class Australian Cricketers to the brand’s list of ambassadors: James Smith and Michael Cranmer. Both passionate users of Equmen compression underwear garments, the two stars join the likes of NFL player Josh Bidwell and World Boxing Heavyweight Champ David Haye in supporting the brand.

James Smith is a powerful right-hand opening batsman who made his first-class cricket debut in 2007/08 after showing promise with his Ford Ranger Cup efforts in the previous season at the age of just 18. James has proven to be a valuable member of the Redbacks team and was awarded the W.H. Hayes trophy for batting for having the highest South Australian batting aggregate. James is truly one of the form batsmen in Australia’s domestic cricket competition!

“Posture and core stability are very important when I bat,” says James Smith, opening batsman for the South Australian Redbacks. “Equmen offers just the right amount of support and comfort to ensure my body remains strong for those long innings in the middle.”

Michael Cranmer is a highly talented, high order right-hand batsman and medium-fast bowler for South Australia who played in Australia’s Under-19 team at the World Cup 2008 in Malaysia.

Michael made his first class debut for the South Australian Redbacks on February 13, 2009 against the Queensland Bulls and in the one day Ford Ranger Cup on January 26, 2010 against the NSW SpeedBlitz Blues. The talented right-hander showed just what he is capable of last season scoring a total of 658 runs at an average of 41.1 with a high score of 166. At such a young age and with so much promise, Michael Cranmer will definitely be one to watch.

“The undershirts are fantastic for recovery,” says Michael Cranmer, all-rounder for the South Australian Redbacks ”And, unlike the other compression brands, I can subtly wear the really cool looking Equmen under any type of clothing.”

As ambassadors for Equmen, Michael and James will be featured in a variety of brand promotions, demonstrating the functional health benefits of the Equmen garments, whether used for street or sport.

Trends in Underwear for 2010

UNBTim — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 23:48:28 +0000

We brought you the trends that were in 2009. Now it’s time we bring you some of the things we see in underwear for 2010! There are going to be a few trends from last year that will continue well in to 2010. The trends we see coming are Shaping Underwear, Return of Briefs, South African Companies, and new colors

Shaping Underwear

Shaping underwear got started in 2009 but never took off big. The market is growing steadily and will continue to grow this year. Shaping underwear are pairs that shape and make you appear thinner. Think of it as Spanx for men. Which, I have heard that they are coming out with a men’s line. The release date is supposed to be this year.

The current companies that have shaping underwear are Equmen, Go Softwear, and 2(x)ist. There is more springing up every day. This area of men’s underwear will continue to grow. Guys are feeling left out of this market and I have heard a number of guys ask “Why don’t they have Spanx for me.” And this was from several straight guys as well as gay ones. You don’t always have time to work out and keep in top shape, and it’s great to have something to wear under your clothes to give you a bit of help.

Equmen is one of those brands based entirely on performance and shaping. I have reviewed Equmen and have enjoyed them. The shirts really shape you and give you very good posture. They make you stand up nice and tall. I liked the shirts a lot and would recommend them.

The other brands are doing similar things. 2(x)ist has it’s Form line. Where as Go Softwear has its Enhancing line. Both have wide waistbands that shape your midsection. Both brands also have shirts designed to shape your torso.

We will see a lot more of these this year. I think they will go more mainstream this year as well. More companies will come out with lines and I think we will see more traditional underwear companies release lines. Basically, guys want underwear that will help them shape and make them feel slimmer.

Briefs

I posted an article on Facebook from the New York Times, and said this before, that this year is the year of the Brief. They said that the tighty whities is coming back and dropping boxers Which has resulted in some backlash from some of our readers. Alex B. said this was one of the worst things in men’s underwear. I’m paraphrasing what he said. . Many other readers agreed, and that tighty whities are one step below Boxers.

We are all underwear lovers who read this site and I think it’s great guys are going back to briefs. This is also a chance for guys to branch out and try some new brands and styles. I think they would enjoy low rise, pouch and other briefs.

I will say that if you had to wear tighty whities, the best to get are Calvin Klein, because they have some form and fit. The traditional ones you get at Wal-Mart, are just function with out the form. The only good thing about this trend is that boxers are falling out of favor. I have never been a boxer guy, to wear them to me is like not wearing any underwear. We will see how this plays out.

South African Companies

Last year I think that Australian companies really broke out and made a name for them in the world of men’s underwear. They have some really amazing companies such as AussieBum and Cocksox. I think in South Africa we are going to see more companies producing underwear. Right now they have three companies to watch. They are Bone Wear, 3^rd Beach and Plumbum.

The first one, Bone Wear, you have seen on our site from time to time. They have some really interesting designs and are now being sold through Dead Good Undies. They have really done some innovative and interesting things with underwear. They are doing their own thing and gaining a loyal following. Don’t take my word, make sure you check out their site

The other two brands you may not know as well. Plumbum is one I found on Facebook and they are a company that is sort of the wonder bra for men. They have a pouch engineered to show off what you have, and they have ergonomically designed the pouch. They are an interesting company.

The next one is 3^rd Beach. I like their line and it appears to be more tailored for a man’s body. The briefs are cut smaller then traditional ones and are made with a little bit of lycra. This gives the undies a chance to mold to your body and not loose their form. I hope you will check out all their underwear and swimwear.

I think these three companies are on the tip of an iceberg. As the popularity grows more underwear companies will come out of South Africa. I don’t know if we will see a big influx of companies but I think this part of the world shows a lot of potential.

Colors – Not typical for men’s underwear

The last trend is colors, and not just any colors. Pink was a big trend for last year and I think this has given more underwear designer’s ideas for using colors not normally thought of for men’s underwear. You maybe asking, well what colors? I think colors such as Purple, Yellow, Green, Pastels and other colors we haven’t seen.

Pink has given more designers a reason to get bolder in color choices. You don’t have to stick to white, black, blue and reds. There is a whole color pallet out there now to use. From what I have seen too guys are more willing to try colors. Gone are the days when I think you’ll see guys say they won’t wear a color. Guys are becoming bolder and will take risks with their underwear. I know a lot of our readers are not afraid of colorsand I think this will continue to carry over to the general public.

One company that is not scared of colors is Timoteo. They have a pink jock and have come out with a purple brief. They are not scared of colors and will continue to use them in new and innovative ways.

Colros will be coming for men’s underwear. The days of just white or black underwear are gone! Look for a brighter pallet and some fun patterns too!

Continuing Trends from 2009

More Australian Companies – With the success of AussieBum and Cocksox we will see more underwear companies from Australia. They will continue to influence the world of Men’s Underwear
Mesh – Mesh got started late in 2009. There are new mesh ones coming out and I think this will continue. It’s a fun trend that doesn’t make undie look cheap any more. They are fun comfortable and just down right sexy.

These are my predictions for what will happen in the world of Men’s Underwear. Am I right? The year will tell, but it’s fun to predict what we see happening. I will do a recap at the end of the year and see how right or wrong I was… Let me know if you see any trends on underwear

Review: Equmen Singlet and Long Trunks

UNBTim — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 20:18:34 +0000

I know we have all seen the new underwear coming out to help guys control what they have…putting it nicely. Women have had Spandex for years to make them appear slimmer to the public. Now, guys are beginning to want the same thing. Equmen has come to the rescue be creating slimming fashions for men. I was very curious about how their products work. You know you’ve seen things online and wondered if they actually worked. Being a tall beefy guy, these really struck my interest and I had to give them a try.

Equmen’s mission statement is:

EQUMEN™ enables men of the world to be at their best. Using the latest high performance technologies and state-of-the-art designs, our garments are engineered to optimize and energize the body, from street to sport, work to weekend.

EQUMEN™ is about looking sharp and living smart. Every man, every day, every wear.

You may ask what this mean to you? The underwear they make helps with posture, slimming, and back pain. They do this by helix mapping used in making the underwear. Helix mapping is a system used to support and reinforce the body’s natural structure to the core. It sounds scientific and confusing for underwear, but it’s just a way to say they have really researched their underwear and believe strongly in its purpose.

I received the two styles…the Singlet and Long Boxer. I decided to wear them to a networking event. Why not try to show my best there? I got out of the shower and I have to ask, “Have you ever tried to put on something nylon/spandex blend after a shower?” It doesn’t work well! I wrestled with the singlet to get it on. When I say singlet, it’s more like a tank top than a wrestling singlet. Had I waited a few minutes, I would have been able to get it on much easier. I tried for about 10 minutes. I wish I had recorded the experience. It would have made for a great YouTube video. I finally got into it and headed to my event. Something I noticed is that it really improves your posture. I noticed how I was standing up unusually straight throughout the night. It also made me slimmer, yet no one said, “Have you lost weight?” I could tell!

I had concerns about the boxers. As you know I’m not a boxer fan, but I do try to keep an open mind. At first, I thought they were going to get loose as the night carried on and drive me crazy. They didn’t! They provided great support and I hardly noticed I was wearing boxers; amazing in itself! They fit great, even though I might have been able to go with a smaller size.

Singlet

Fit:                   5

Put Together:    5

You can see the entire line on the Equmen website located at http://www.equmen.com. The singlet retails for $99.00 for the High Compression we reviewed or $109 for an extra high compression version. The Enhancing Body Fit Trunks are $60. Also, look at the trunk and briefs. The underwear I reviewed was furnished by Equmen.

Equmen Interview, an Interesting New Underwear Company!

UNBTim — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 22:56:26 +0000

How did you come up with the idea for the Equmen Shirts?
We observed that there had been significant innovation in the sport and women’s market with products that had a true functional benefit, whether it be enhanced performance, health or a better-looking body. However, in men’s underwear, very few advances had been made and there existed an unmet need for functional, body and health improving garments that still appealed to men’s style sensibility. Hence, we developed products based on ergonomic insights that could help men look and feel their best, street to sport.

You mention on your site the health benefits, can you explain a bit more to our readers?
One of the most important things anyone can do to feel their best is to have proper posture. This ensures the body is in alignment, oxygen is circulating well and there is minimal pressure on the core area, particularly the back. However, it is difficult to ensure this happens every day. By pulling the shoulders back and supporting the core, our shirt adjusts the body and serves built-in posture support. In addition, the compression stimulates circulation to keep things flowing while the fabric is temperature controlled, to ensure all day comfort.

You initially came out with the shirts, but now you have underwear, can you tell us about your new line of underwear?
The underwear are based on the same principle, fusing athletic performance technologies with fashionable styling to deliver health and body benefits. The designs are inspired by sprinter shorts, placing pressure on the gluteal fold to deliver posture and gait support, while streamlining and contouring at the same time. The fabric is temp control to keep you cool.

On what waist sizes do these shirts truly have impact and, if it does have one, what size change can be expected?
The shirts benefit men of all shapes and sizes. As far as the slimming effect goes, there can be a waist reduction of up to 3 inches

Can it help the average Joe feel better about himself?
Everyman that puts one on instantly feels enhanced confidence.

Will color be added into the line at least in the underwear?
