Leave it to a female-run manufacturing company to merge sustainability, style, and functionality into a product men love for sports, work or hanging out. These photos showcase durable, comfortable briefs for hardworking men.

Sexy

“These athletic briefs are not only great for working out but my girlfriend was really happy to see me in these boxers. She says they look so much sexier than the baggy cotton boxers I normally wear” Antoine from Montreal

Functional

Constructed with moisture wicking materials this breathable underwear not only keeps a man cool, but also prevents chaffing. Designed with a supportive pouch, they are built to lift, support, and isolate; thus, increasing comfort during workouts.

Grey Matter Concepts are industry leaders in multi-category Brands. Every piece they produce has a job to do; wicking sweat, fighting odor, and staying put to keep people fresh and let them focus on the things that truly matter. While men’s basics are their core business, they also produce select women’s and youth apparel.
