The ones I use are hardly noticeable. Thin material. Not clammy at all. I imagine they're all much of a muchness, really.

Nah, they're not. I've some I wear I wouldn't wear backpacking. You can tell when you wash them take much longer to dry

I mean in the Saxx range. Apart from the cotton ones. I'll take your word for it though.

I've heard people going on about Step One janks. Mostly YouTubers.

Me too. I only have Saxx. Think it's the Vibe is more a daily wear. Not as hard wearing either.
Be a long time before I find out about any others. Not chasing any improvements. Probably be back to Decathlon when I'm out.

So, basically you're a Saxx maniac. Interesting.

Like all gear I guess. Not for everyone.
Very light mesh fabric with a softer waistband than other models. Great for summer use. I’ve been using Saxx for around 18 months and they’re really comfortable. In summer I’ve been using mesh versions but they’re noticeably heavier than the quests (Grammes not lbs)

I'll give them a go. I'm using the Multi Sport Mesh at the moment. Used them for a while now. I find them very comfortable and light. I've got a few pairs to get through first.

That reminds me, I've been eyeing a Coros apex 4 as a slightly cheaper alternative, retails for £380 for the 42mm but found a health site that knocks 15 percent off with your first orders bringing it down to 330ish, which seems fairly decent. Link here

But heavier weight variant of Alpha (136gm2), so less suitable for active use.
