Reply to comment by FishWithAppendages in I’ve had this Dakine backpack for ~17 years and have taken it on all my trips. The zippers on this thing still work like they are new. All my other backpacks have had their zippers break off so this is my old trusty pack. by cumaboardladies

Once quality companies start to blow up, their quality takes a dump. North Face and Under Armour are 2 examples.

Any brands similar to UA but with good quality you'd recommend? Years ago I've bought a bunch of those very light & breathable tees & boxers that dry very quickly for the summer as I'm prone to sweating and I absolutely swear by them. I've been thinking of getting some more but I'm worried about the quality.

I’ve not tried their warm weather gear but bombas’ cold weather stuff has worked super well for me recently. their socks aren’t darn tough or anything but their long underwear is fantastic

Tbh I use very thin summer quick-dry boxers even in the winter cause all I need is my pants stopping the wind & my body heat gives me all the warmth I need. I'm more concerned about sweat when I go into heated public transportation in full winter clothes & then get too hot.

Unfortunately not really. I think UA still has some quality stuff, but you gotta check it out in person (vs random buy online). Dicks seems to have a good selection at their larger stores.

Other than that, Nike Dri Fit socks have surprised me. LuLu Lemon has been disappointing. I really like Danner boots and socks, but some boots fit weird. Stio has awesome gear worth the cost, but I hate their logo everywhere (personal preference). Still haven’t tried Vuori but want to.

Sorry for the ramble. I realize you want boxers heat gear reccos. I wear Hanes lol. I randomly bought Uniqlo long Johns and those are pretty decent actually.

No worries thank you, any info is welcome to me tbh I'm still making my mind up. I guess I'll stop by a local UA store & see if they still carry the stuff & it's quality but I'm also looking around for reliable brands
