Viscose - poor man's Merino wool

Functionally viscose absorbs sweat and transfers it away from the skin, dries rather fast, and doesn't get smelly nearly as fast as cotton or synthetic fibers. Additionally, it's antistatic, so no sparks appear with these. It does get a bit wrinkled easier than most fabrics, but with underwear, this shouldn't be a problem.

Viscose is essentially the same stuff as "bamboo" garments, but likely more environmentally friendly. Lenzing brand viscose is used for these boxers. The fiber is made of beech wood with a small percentage of other woods like pine in the blend.

Fabric weight: 160 g/m2 / 4.7 oz/yd2, about the same as your common t-shirt
Material: 92% viscose, 8% elastane.
Made in Lithuania
