    2UNDR Performance First Layer Men’s Briefs Partners With Provengo Bringing the Finest Fit and Comfort to American Men in Service

    Friday, May 26th, 2017

    Provengo announced it will be officially carrying 2UNDR™ performance first layer men’s briefs. 2UNDR™ features the unique and patented Joey Pouch™ construction to support your equipment in comfort and style. The innovative design elevates and separates a man’s most valuable assets to deliver the perfect fit while preventing unwanted skin contact.

    The No-Drip-Tip™ material lines the #joeypouch of these performance first layers. Through a process called capillary action, the outer layer draws moisture off of the surface of the skin and spreads it across a large area. Meanwhile, the hydrophobic inner layer repels moisture away from the skin.

    IMG_2043

    The pouch also delivers improved airflow keeping you cool when involved in strenuous activity, on an assignment on tough terrain or simply going about a busy day. This combination of pulling and repelling mixed with premium breathable design accelerates evaporation keeping you dry, cool and comfortable. These briefs are offered by Provengo in three key models, Swingshift™, Dayshift™ and Powershift™. All feature the most advanced construction techniques and materials, and come in 3”, 6” and 9” leg lengths to accommodate all fit preferences you desire.

    At the top of the market due to design, is the Powershift™. This style comes in 90% quick dry poly, that is moisture wicking and has 10% elastane for a compression like feel and fit.

    IMG_2046

    The Swingshift ™ offers those same fit features but utilizes the finest quality lenzing modal fibers, high quality stitching, and a nylon non-roll waistband.

    IMG_2041

    The DayShift™ comes in a blend of modal and cotton; threads that were made for each other. The result of this partnership is the familiar texture and breathability of cotton, combined with the silkiness of Modal. The day shift is perfect for the everyday hustle. Paradise, in your pants.

    IMG_2042

    In making the announcement, Provengo President Chris Barbarino said, “We’re delighted to finally bring this fantastic product offering to provengo.com. By carrying 2UNDR, we will be able to offer the finest in fit and comfort in a men’s brief with exclusive discounted pricing to our military and veterans.”

    2UNDR has been featured at over 2500 golf courses nationwide, select Sporting Goods, and Golf retailers, in addition to over 50 specialized technical running shops in the USA. One of their Military and Professional Ambassadors is Dr. Reginald O’Hara, PhD., is an Exercise Physiologist, who has worked in training with SOCOM and many other active military and retired veterans.

He is a dedicated ultra-marathoner and typically runs 4 to 5 100 mile races annually, to support all divisions of the Armed Services.

    Testimonial from Dr. Reginald O’Hara:
    “My daily training sessions and races are so much more enjoyable. 2UNDR™ briefs have prevented having to deal with the chaffing issues we all contend with during any heavy sweat activities…I have experimented with over 6 different men’s brief brands. I have found these and they are the only one I will use. I highly recommend 2UNDR™. They allow me to focus on my running goals!”
