There are probably more custom made shorts/underware with advanced materials that wick, etc. but for $20, these work pretty good. I only have one pair, so you have to wash them out each night after the ride....unless you don't want to I guess. Here is a pair from one of the big online bicycle retailers, www.bikenashbar.com.
I tried Hanes Boxer/Briefs a few years ago, and now thats the only thing under my jeans on longer rides..Another thing that helps alot, is a sheepskin seat cover. Keeps things cool in summer, and warm in cold weatehr, plus helps keep things dry..
P.S. - For years I've worn the Light Support Tights with Fly Opening under my Langlitz leather pants (no need to put on socks). Won't wear anything else.
In winter, just add the Gerber electric pants amd electric socks as a middle layer btw. the slightl;y heavier tights & outer leathers.
