Travel underwear test

Google is your friend when it comes to researching just about anything, however, what comes up when you search for travel underwear ranges from the unusual to not much help.

What is the best travel underwear?  In the next few weeks and during the trip  I'm going to find out.  I selected four brands from a basic list of top 3 requirements:  1) had to be quick drying, 2) comfortable, and last but not least, 3) based on previous experience with underwear for multi day backpacking, they had to have some kind of odor control fabric. 

Brands selected:  Arcteryx, Jockey, Outdoor Research, and Rail Riders.   

I know what you're thinking but this will be a subjective and objective, scientific test...So... If I ask you to smell my underwear, please try to remember; it is for Science, helping to improve the quality of travel for everyone.

Update:  After several years of further testing, the winner is.... Outdoor Research. For me they are the most comfortable, dry quickly when washed, and even after a lot of washing in both the sink and the machine have stayed soft and help up well. Second place: Arcteryx.
