Men's Alpha Silver Briefs
Lightweight, antimicrobial briefs with Silvadur™ technology, designed to deliver the ultimate base layer performance.
Read more…Our Alpha Silver Briefs have been designed to provide an ultra-technical, yet super-comfortable base layer for customers who want unrivalled comfort and performance whether they’re at work or doing high-intensity activity.
These anatomically shaped briefs are the perfect start to an effective clothing system. They've got built-in stretch to allow freedom of movement and will retain their shape for years to come. We've treated them with Silvadur™, a technology which binds the fabric with tiny traces of silver helping to prevent unwanted microbes developing.
Designed for an active outdoor lifestyle these briefs have flatlocked seams, a double layer gusset and a low profile waistband to ensure maximum comfort.
The mesh fabric construction increases airflow and also helps to reduce drying time, very handy if you're travelling light with a busy itinerary.
Start your clothing layering system with the best in class base layer briefs for unbeatable comfort and performance.
Fabric:
95% polyamide, 5% elastane with Dynamic Moisture Control™ and with Silvadur™ odour control technology
Lightweight - Weight: 50g
We were the original lightweight revolutionaries. Back in the 1970’s we realised that cutting weight without losing performance meant that you can take less and do more. Everything we make is engineered to achieve this.
Packable - Pack Size: 120ml
Low pack size is a benefit whether you’re packing for a day’s walking or for the trip of a lifetime. We continually scrutinise fabric specification and garment construction to minimise the packed size of our clothing. The actual pack size is tested and listed.
Fast Drying - Drying Time: 4 hours
All Rohan clothing is designed to be very fast drying – as much a benefit for unexpected downpours as anything else. It’s easy to wash and often needs no ironing. Almost all garments will dry overnight, meaning you can take less with you. We test every item and list its drying time.
ANTI ODOUR SILVER
Garments treated with our Anti Odour Silver technology benefit from the natural antimicrobial properties of silver. Tiny traces of silver, distributed evenly throughout the garment, inhibit the growth of bacteria reducing mould and odour. This treatment is permanent – it will never wash or wear out.
DYNAMIC MOISTURE CONTROL™
DMC™ is a wicking treatment that rapidly spreads the moisture our bodies create across the surface area of a garment. This can be achieved through the technical construction of the garment or by a performance coating and ensures that the garment dries more quickly, encourages evaporative heat loss and helps you stay cooler and more comfortable for longer.

Bring back the Cool Silver Brief
Rohan underwear tends to be on the large side. I'm 34" waist but the small size is generally a better fit.
The original Cool Silver Briefs were about 25cm high crotch to waist.
The Aether brief is about 29cm high.
The Alpha Silver Brief is a massive 32cm high. This makes them uncomfortable in comparison. It's style is more of a ladies knicker rather than a "speedo" style brief.
Those who have worn the previous incarnations will understand what I mean.
If the Cool Silver brief design doesn't come back I will have to look elsewhere.
Great Briefs, comfortable and supportive
I have had quite a few pair of these over that last couple of years. They are really good technical briefs and knock spots off of cotton and some other fabrics (if you have not tried then then I'd suggest that you do - so much nicer than cotton). It's worth taking the time to get the right size in Rohan gear. My only suggestion would be that a low rise brief would be much appreciated. SO may trousers and other clothing has a low rise these days that it would be good to be able to have a choice, but I guess it depends on your shape! When travelling they wash and dry overnight in hotel / cabin or where ever you are staying - It sounds odd but really enables you to pack light
Rolls Royce of briefs
Very comfortable but reserved only for trekking due to high price.
Very good for strenuous activity
Bought several pairs of these as I found cotton briefs are alright as long as your not perspiring heavily from running etc they wick well harbour no odour even after several days wear but are equally easy wash out and dry very quickly. I definitely recommend them if your planning strenuous activity and want to travel light.
