Check out REI and especially their outlet store. Lots of stuff cheaper in the outlet. Fast delivery and if it doesn't fit properly you can send them back no problem.Hi All,
Starting the Camino Frances in early August.
I have two pairs of smartwool merino underwear. However, I see that ex officio is all the rage. Is there an advantage of ex officio briefs over smartwool underwear?
Ex officio for these bunns. Travel Smith is also a good source.Hi All,

Like others writing above, I hesitated with woolen under pants, even though I have used only merino tops for walking since forever.Any kind is fine
I have used the same. Although I like the material of icebreaker a little better.I've used Icebreaker merino and Exoficio. They are both fine, I don't have real preference. Choose whichever is more comfortable for you.
I have several pairs of ExOfficio underwear and wear them daily. In my experience, the elastic does not wear out. My oldest pair is from my 2018 Camino.So I've never used smartwool merino underwear. I have however used ex officio on like my last 10 caminos. In fact, they are my everyday underwear too. They are kinda pricey, but... they dry so fast and are so comfortable. After a year or two the elastic gives out, my one complaint... but remember... EVERYDAY underwear. I like the boxer briefs, and they double as my bathing suit on the Norte.
