Recommended underwear for men?

Basically I'm looking to get some underwear that fits these specs so my onebag journey is a bit easier.

lightweight
keeps odor down (like merino wool, etc.)
can also be used for sports/athletics purposes (maybe like an under armour brief)
boxer style (not boxer brief but that might be ok too)

I don't know if Smartwool merino ones fit the bill or if there are any better options (either cheaper or just overall better, etc.)

I would say cheap bamboo underwear would do the trick. The thing about merino underwear is that that may be great and expensive, but do not hold up that well for the price. If it is broken you can not use it, regardless how great it once was when it was not broken.
- I haven't tried merino underwear though I love it for shirts. Can vouch for bamboo underwear.
- Have never even heard of this. Looks quite interesting. Thanks!
