Engineer’s Notes

Sitewide bundles do not apply to GQ products. 

The most advanced compression underwear for men ever built. The Tactical II Series is an upgraded baselayer that's built to handle any terrain, type or intensity of training. Made for athletes of all stripes but built to perform at professional levels, the Tactical II Series will see you through every lap, jump, lunge and squat by removing the biggest hurdle: discomfort.

We used eco-friendly, hard-hitting performance fabric that's built to take a beating and then some, and paired it with smart designs to make this the perfect athletic underwear for men. Designed for sports, workout, running, basketball, fitness, cycling, baseball, tennis, weight training, surfing, squat, football, crossfit, metcon, HIIT and all other sports.

Inspired by the smart grip systems in high-end cycling apparel, we created Power Grip - laser-cut wide leg grippers lined with soft silicone for incredible hold. The legs will never ride up or bunch, so no more awkwardly tugging your pants to pull the legs down. The Power Grip also stays hidden, even under tighter pants, so no more visible underwear lines either.

Keep your phone, cards, keys and everyday carry dry - even during the sweatiest workouts - with 2 phone pockets lined with stretchy waterproof fabric. The pockets keep your phone high on your hip, locked down and out of the way during dynamic workouts. Each pocket is specifically made for iPhone 13 and 13 Pro Max sized phones.

The Tactical II Series is cut for a compression fit to keep your "goods" bounce-free - welcome to adjustment free workouts.

Solid Undergarment

I purchased these to wear under a sarong without pockets, unfortunately the pockets on the underwear weren’t really big enough for my iPhone 10X Max, however I was able to stuff my wallet into one of the pockets which made fishing it out kind of awkward but it was functional. The unique crotch construction is a nice touch and the grip around the thighs reminds me of my old high school wrestling singlets. We’ll see how they fare after multiple washes. There were a few long strings at the seams which was surprising for the cost, you’d think there’d be better QC at that price point but nothing a small pair of scissors couldn’t remedy. All in all a good pair of boxers, I’m sure they’re clutch for running in.

Fantastic!

I am so happy I found All Citizens from GQ's fall box. It can be easy to fall into the same routines with the old brands, so I gave this one a try and wow, totally unique design, fit and utility when it counts. I give these bottoms my highest recommendation. Wear them with confidence everything is staying where it needs to with no bunch up and a soft cool feel.

These have to be the most comfortable underwear I have ever owned

I would not have thought this, but the design and material used is like a second skin. It’s sooo comfortable I didn’t want to take them off!

Almost 5 stars...

Shorts are terrific and I want to give them 5 stars. Price is great. Quality is holding up thus far. Love the leg grippers. Only issues is that there's too many features that aren't needed. Don't need 2 pockets. Don't need a fly hole. Just make a foundational compression short, with no frills, and you have a hands down winner. And if I'm getting picky, I'd love a shorter inseam version as well. Good job All Citizens... you're almost there. :)

Here’s a secret most brands don’t want you to know

What makes premium apparel premium? Is it the quality of the fabrics, materials and designs, or is it artificially inflated prices?

Most premium apparel brands sell basic underwear for +$35 and dress shirts for +$130 when they cost a fraction to make. And you may have noticed that these same brands used inflation and rising costs as cloud cover to raise their prices 15 - 30% despite the actual inflation rate being considerably lower.

But why?

Because these businesses prioritize making more money for themselves and their shareholders rather than delivering more value to their customers. This leads them to spend more money on marketing to sell an “aspirational lifestyle”, bolster their margins by lowering product quality and cutting costs, and create a false sense of exclusivity to justify their high prices. How else can you convince someone to spend more money on clothes that have fewer features, less performance, and ultimately less comfort?
