Travel Like a Pro with ExO!

Do you travel like a pro? If so, when you pack, you probably include a few pairs of ExOfficio underwear in your bag. Travelers know that having comfortable underwear that can be washed out in the sink at night and is ready to go the next day saves space and helps them to travel light. They're also favorites with folks who stay closer to home and prefer ExO's everyday comfort.

ExOfficio has been loved by travelers since the late 1980s. Their thoughtfully designed clothing was comfortable, packed small, avoided wrinkles, and had lots of strategically placed pockets. Alas, ExOfficio no longer outfits travelers and has turned their full attention to underwear. Here’s what they've designed for us all.

Fabric first. ExOfficio underwear is made with various combinations of nylon, elastane and spandex that add 4-way stretch and comfort. The fabric is a soft breathable knit jersey. The Give-N-Go 2.0 series is made with a mesh while the Give-N-Go 2.0 Sport is made for performance activities with an ultralight mesh. The fabric wicks moisture and dries quickly. The Everyday Crew Neck Tees are made of a soft and durable jersey made with Viscose and elastane.

Common features you'll find in ExO underwear are flatlock seams to prevent chafing and wide comfortable waistbands. The Sport series is characterized by a snug fit and the ulralight breathable mesh to help keep you cool during high-energy activities.

Most underwear can be tossed in the laundry, but ExOfficio is made for travelers who like to pack less and so prefer to wash out their undies in the sink and let them dry for the next day. The general instructions run like this: wash out by hand with or without soap; rinse thoroughly; wring out excess water; place underwear on a dry towel, roll it up and squeeze; and hang the underwear in a well-ventilated place to dry. Some folks bring a small hangar with clips or a short bit of light rope and a few clothes pins for optimal drying on their travels.

Do you have a preferred style of underwear? ExO has you covered! For men, you'll find briefs, boxers, and boxer briefs that combine the coverage of boxers with the security of briefs and come in multiple inseam measurements, plus undershirts. For women, there are bikinis, briefs, hipsters, thongs and bralettes.

Whether you're a traveling pro, a dedicated athlete or adventurer, or someone who likes the ease of not thinking about one's underwear as the day proceeds, we think you may find the comfort and performance you're looking for with ExOfficio.
