It never ceases to amaze me the vets I see sporting the stripes showing through the pants look. Terrible.
So the big controversy,

SWFLguy says to use WHITE compression shorts to hide the stripes.

AB says to use BLACK compression shorts to hide the stripes.

What do most of you use? I've heard the white ones make your knickers look "whiter" and if you get a tear, then it's white under white.

Others maintain that the black does a better job covering the stripes and how many times have you torn a pair of knickers in the last 100 years?

What's the consensus?

Since we're on undergarments here, those of you that have gone the UnderArmour route, what advantages do you get that are better than the McDavid-type Intermax stuff?
Been using the white shorts for 20 years and it does make the white look whiter, I think. But maybe it is time to look at black shorts.

I tried the Nike Stay-Dri the other night for cycling where I had been using the MCDavid shirt. Really like the Nike stuff because it is lighter and seems to absorb the sweat better.

Also, if you use the McDavid shirt make sure whoever does the wash does not use fabric softener, it ruins the absorbent property.
