Cheap cotton boxers from Target for me, under MUSA shorts when temps are above 40F. The boxers have to be "broken in" (ten or so wearings/washings) before I wear them on longer rides. When new, the fabric is a little too stiff. I tried padded shorts half a dozen times, and I found them horrible (hot,sweaty, squishy, etc) in a short time. I've also tried "going commando", but that was somewhat uncomfortable and carried an almost intolerable degree of blowout risk. These days I ride B67 saddles on everything. I just sold my long-loved but no longer ridden B17 Champ Spec, which I miss mostly because of the beausage.
