While for the uninitiated it may sound like a silly subject from the get-go, tactical underwear is sometimes the most important piece of equipment a soldier can wear. There are just some parts that you don’t ever want’ to be jammed; regular gun maintenance takes care of some, tactical underwear of others. Unlike regular underwear, the tactical variety refers to the base layers of your equipment and can include an undershirt. It allows your skin to stay warm and dry, which are the two most important things when in the field. Additionally, they allow for a full range of movement and you will be able to jump, run, and climbs as well as in only tactical pants. There are two main types of tactical underwear:
  • Thermal underwear and base layer
    • Heat Locket Shirts
    • Thermal Long Underpants (M/F)
  • Breathable and Reflective hot weather underwear
    • Reflective shirts
While there are some types of lower underwear for hot weather, this job is usually delegated to tactical pants to pull double-duty. If you know what type of mission you can expect, you will be certain to find the right type of tactical underwear for sale. Due to modern technology, you will now be able to buy ideal models for a very reasonable price.

What Is the Difference Between Regular and Tactical Underwear?

Tactical underwear for security, police, army  is superior across the board, including both the shirts and the long pants. Advanced materials improve durability, elasticity, hygiene, temperature regulation, sweat reeducation, and most other features. Tactical attire is meant to be worn in difficult and dangerous jobs, usually under a lot of other gear as well. This is why you can’t afford for your underwear to tear when in a middle of engagement with the enemy, or in the middle of a recovery mission. Additionally, tactical wear needs to be thinner and lighter than their civilian counterparts. You don’t want to lose agility and maneuverability, especially in your legs, because of your choice of clothes. This is why tactical underwear acts more like a second skin than anything you would wear. The fibers mildly grip on you and provide protection without restricting anything you would do without them. While not the intended result, this also reduces how much your skin loses moisture, which can be really important if the mission prolongs unexpectedly. Your skin should stay dry but hydrated at all times. Only this combination will guarantee your health and wellbeing.

What Kind of Underwear Does the Military Wear?

This question depends on the military. Underwear is not only a practical piece of clothing but have a lot to do with cultural norms as well. It is popular to say that ‘going commando’ means not wearing any underwear, but currently all regiment’s in the US armed forces wear boxer-briefs as their regular non-tactical underwear. Other armies don’t have this big of an issue with not wearing underwear on a regular basis. The UK Royal Marines don’t wear any non-tactical underwear to prevent any infection or rashes. The base layer in these armies, regardless of the sex of the soldier, will always be just the tactical long underwear.

What Is the Best Combat Underwear for Running?

Any tactical underwear that is just your size will combine all the benefits of running naked with none of the downsides. And, if you want to run in cold weather you will be grateful for the protection of thermal underpants to your legs and other important parts. Additionally, tactical underwear allows for better thermal and water regulation, keeping you dry as well as your circulation running better because of the slight pressure from all sides.

Conclusion

Underwear is often overlooked when discussing tactical gear, and not because it is not that important. Cultural reasons tend to draw us away from this subject, even though it is very important. For soldiers traversing the terrain in hot climates, we need to have some sort of reflective and protective clothing against the sun and the heat. And those working in the cold will tell you that frostbite and hypothermia are often more dangerous than any enemy shooting at you. If you want to mitigate any of the adverse effects of the terrain and gain a tactical advantage, thinking about anything from tactical underwear to weapons and body armor will be essential.
