Maybe smartwool would be worth a shot?

The most effective wicking material is polyester as it does not absorb
moisture but transfers it well. Cotton is one of the worst and wool
in between but nearer polyester than cotton. Polyester can also be
made to be very slippy so in compression shorts it grips the skin
firmly (no movement and no friction), wicks moisture away and has
little friction between outer clothing and the compression shorts.

The trick is to get shorts which are skin tight and move with your
body - there should be no movement at all between the shorts and the
skin.


My problem is caused by the cheeks rubbing against each other (rather
than against clothing) so wouldn't compression shorts tend to make this
worse? I've always hated wearing polyester; the wicking tops seem OK but
the HH shorts just seem to cause more sweatiness. Maybe the answer is to
have tightish cotton over the polyester(?)

Simple solution, fill the gap. ;-)
