If you're in the market for some new performance underwear, consider checking out the Minus33 Woolverino line designed specifically for running and biking. While I usually opt for underwear with less coverage, these bikini briefs really surprised me with how comfortable and moisture-wicking they are.
Before I jump into the details, here are the important features:
I usually wear an XS and this bikini brief ran true to size.
I appreciate the thoughtful design in the waistband, as it feels like it's keeping the briefs in place throughout the course of 60+ minute activities.
I've washed these a few times and they show no signs of wear or unwanted stretch. Although I typically opt for thong style underwear with less coverage, the bikini brief doesn't restrict movement since the leg openings are high-cut in the front.
My only qualm with the fit of these briefs are the visible seams. With a fitted pair of leggings, you can clearly see the seams of these briefs. If Minus33 brought a performance thong to their Woolverino line, I'd be one of their first customers!
After running with these bikini briefs in various weather conditions, I can conclusively say they are my favorite underwear with respect to keeping moisture at bay.
After a recent 80 minute trail run in heavy snow and rain for the first 50 minutes (34 degrees Fahrenheit with wind chill that made it feel like 27 degrees), I was expecting to arrive back at the car thoroughly chilled and soaked to the bone. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the briefs were nearly dry after running for the last 30 minutes without precipitation.
Since these briefs are 84% Merino wool, they require special laundering to preserve the natural fibers. While they are machine wash/dry, you can't use harsh detergents or softeners on them. Minus33 suggests a mild or wool-specific detergent to properly care for the material.
Minus33 provided me with the product in exchange for my honest review.
