Rating: 8/10

Pros:
- A good pouch made out of a nice mesh material.
- The waistband is tight but not too tight to bind and feel uncomfy
- Leg straps feel great and never twisted or felt tight
- It comes in green my favorite color.
- Sizing goes from X-Small to 3 Extra Large
Cons:
- The pouch is a bit smaller, it could be a bit wider at the top but that’s my personal preference
- Some guys may not like it’s just in green (I think this is a pro)
- If you are big fan of the classic #10 jock you may not like the modern design.
UNB Tim recommendation: If you are looking for a solid jock, the Bike Atheltic Mesh Jock is a great pair to choose. To me, it feels really nice against the skin. The pair lives up to the history of the Bike Brand and is a great new generation of jocks. It can be worn as regular underwear or as athletic wear. I def would suggest adding this to your underwear drawer if you are a jock fan or even a semi jock fan.
It’s great to see an iconic brand like Bike back in business. For a while there it seemed the brand would be banished into the underwear wasteland. I grew up wearing Bike jocks and it was almost a rite of passage to get your first jock for sports. Even after sports, I would wear them under jeans and for fun times. Then in the in recent years the brand ended (or thereabouts). The new brand has taken the classic designs and updated them for modern times.
The first pair I am reviewing is the Mesh Jockstrap in Olive. May I note that this is my favorite color! This pair had a leg up on every other pair just for that. I was going to be active and such but decided to have a low-key day and relax around the house. This won’t put it through the paces as athletic but will for underwear. Plus, most guys I know wear jocks for everyday wear and not just athletic.
When I first slid the pair on I noticed the pouch was a bit smaller than I remembered and fit a little different at first. This gave me concern that the pouch may not hold up to a day’s wear. However, as the day wore on I was pleasantly surprised by the pouch. It may be cut smaller but it’s really comfortable, The mesh fabric felt tremendous and not like a cheese grater. Another thing I loved about this pair was it didn’t feel like I was wearing a jock, ok bare with me for a sec. When you wear a jock many times, the leg straps can dig in or twist and annoy you throughout the day. Or, the waistband can be tight and restricting. When I talked to Bike, they said this was one of their popular styles, and I can tell why, other than the color, it fits great, and the mesh fabric is breathable and comfy.
Sizing is always different for each brand. It can run small or large. Overall I have to say Bike is pretty spot on. The waistband fits nice but is not too tight. I don’t feel like it’s digging into me. I received an XL, which is the standard size I wear, and it’s perfect for me. The older versions would always be super tight and sometimes bind; the newer ones seem not to have that issue.
Overall, it’s a great pair. It’s a two thumbs up from me and a must for any jock lovers drawer. I don’t think you guys will be disappointed in the slightest. I will have more Bike Jock reviews soon, so stay tuned.
