Newbie needs advice . In regards to dri-fit

Hi . Just got back into training after over 20 years . Stopped smoking 2 years ago and put on 2 stone. So now have to shift it. Bern doing military style fitness at a local park. Obstacle courses and trail running.

Gym clothing etc has changed a great deal since my days when I used to be fairly fit lol.

So have to say I'm impressed with all the latest dri-fit clothing. I wear the dri-fit tights by Karimor . Been trying to find if there's anything like dri-fit underwear , not the boxer short or cycling short type but more of the brief type. Have tried swimming trunks but chave after a while. Even considering going without...? But think in doing so may offend the women in the group...

Have managed to lose some weight and will continue to do so. Lol

The anti chafe boxers look good!

You probably won't chafe doing c 25k as it's not far and you're not moving for long
