FYI, the following is a message I sent to Under Armor yesterday...

Under Armor Product Review

Those of us who ride motorcycles for long distances in a single day

require products that enhance the riding experience and anything that is

annoying on a short ride turns into a real bother on a long ride. Then

there are effects that do not appear until after you have completed 500

miles in a thousand mile day.

An example of this is the Under Armor "Loose Gear" fly front boxer briefs.

Under Armor is a company that markets their products as a top of the line

functional "sports" oriented brand of under-ware. They do make good

products for a price but these fly front boxer briefs are dangerous to the

unsuspecting motorcyclist.

I have several examples of Under Armor gear and I like the compression

shorts for long motorcycle rides. I do not like the fact that these

shorts do not have a 'fly front', which is very inconvenient while on the

road. Anything that slows me down is eventually discarded for something

better, therefore; when I saw the fly front boxer briefs, I just knew this

was what I needed.

Last weekend I went for a long ride to eat lunch in Missouri, almost 500

miles one-way. The first day was fine with a little discomfort. The

second day was a real pain in the rear almost from the start. It was so

bad that I wanted to stop and either buy replacement Under Shorts or go

without. However, since there were numerous thunderstorms in the area I

kept on humming until I made it home.

The cause of the pain was the stitching that joined two fabric panels

together. They are in a line that is in constant contact with the seat of

my bike. In my opinion, this seam is placed in this location to enhance

the 'style' of the product.

I now have a nice "V" shaped red whelp with broken skin on my backside.

The Under Armor 'Fly Front' Boxer Briefs are literally a pain in the ass.
