Default Jihad Request: Saxx on Dragon's Den

Hope the mods are ok with me making a seperate thread for this, but I am asking you, my brethren, to help my buddy and his dream of keeping your boys comfortable!

Trent Kitsch presented his business tonight on Dragon's Den. It is called Saxx - a performance underwear for guys that is actually a damn fine product. Now, whether you agree with the commercial viability of the venture, I am hoping you can help him win the $50,000 internet-voting prize.

Go to: http://www.cbc.ca/dragonsden/armchairdragon.php

There you can quickly register and vote. You have to match Trent with his product, so he is (IIRC) about the 5th guy across (blond) and his product is black boxer/briefs.

I appreciate any help you can give, ... and after watching the show - come on - he deserves it!

Peace (and JIHAD war on DD!)

All you have to do is click Register, mandatory info is the usual name, email. It does take more effort than one click of a button.

Anyway, hope others can help a buddy out.

Cheers,

G.

Hmm... interesting. It looks like they give men a little more- room to breath -if you know what I mean.

The product looks interesting.
The only kind of underwear I ever wear are calvin Klein 365 boxer briefs. They're damn good. I find a product I like, and stick to it (esp something like underwear that you can't return).
If these are as good as you make em out to be, I wouldnt mind purchasing a pair. I don't buy anything online, where can I buy these? (im in lethbridge, but make it to calgary somewhat fairly often)

I think the only place you can get them is online for now. He has a guy here in TO that has some, and otherwise I think he is based out of Kelowna. He is hoping to move it to retail at some point.

They are comfy. One of the underrated aspects is the "apex" thingy - which basically gives you more room. The side panels feel a bit weird at first, but then you like the "keep everything where it should be" aspect. I prefer the long-leg version, as then they don't ever bunch up at all and stay slick.

Kinda pricey though for the performance version...

I found the business plan for it and they're right between under-armor and lululemon performance briefs. It's actually a pretty good business plan.

How used are we talking here? Once or twice? Washed? Ragged and full of holes? I draw the line at 'skidmarks' used!

I admit NOTHING!

I just ordered, I figured I would give them a try. You can't go wrong with that type of testicle technology! I will give my review too... when I get them. Hopefully they live up to advertising.
