Frosted Oakman cryo pack
The cryo pack

Engineered
in every detail

The proprietary gel stays cold through a full sauna session—30 minutes at 163°F (infrared) or 20 minutes at 190°F (traditional)—feeling refreshing, never icy.

The saddle-like contour and central hinge sit securely beneath the scrotum for targeted cooling, while angled sides provide comfortable contact along the thighs.

Overfilled yet yielding, the cryo pack feels soft and cushioned against the body.

Heat stable to 400°F. Saunas stay below 200°F. We overbuilt the shell to ensure heat stability.

Boxer briefs for all day heat, not just sauna

Fabric designed to dissipate heat

Kilts are optimal. If kilts aren’t your style, choose clean, natural fabric that moves with you.

Solution: the right fabric

Made from natural wood pulp combined with Japanese clean stretch.No microplastic-shedding polyester.

Heat from sitting

“Seated work is the main driver of increased scrotal temperature, raising it by 3°F.”

— Hjollund et al., 2002
Solution: a wide gusset

A roomy 3 inch gusset provides optimal air flow during seated work and movement.

Heat from training

Training raises core temperature, and compression clothing traps that heat around the scrotum.Scrotal temperature can remain elevated up to a few hours after exercise or heat exposure.

Solution: athletic fit

Oakman boxer briefs move with you and hold their shape, unlike cotton that bunches and chafes.

gusset noun gus·set ˈgə-sət

An extra fabric panel below the scrotum that provides breathability and an athletic fit.

Close-up of Oakman fabric
The Oakman fabric

It starts as wood pulp,
not petroleum.

Nylon and polyester are plastic, drawn from oil.This is 93% MicroModal, a natural fiber made from wood pulp, siro-spun for extra softness and durability in the wash, and dyed with bluesign®-approved dyes.

Derived from natural wood and spun far thinner than cotton, Modal delivers a dry feeling through superior moisture control and exceptional softness.Its unique cross-section and high tenacity withstand repeated washing and drying. MicroModal is an extra-fine version that feels even softer and silkier while retaining the same durability.

02 / 03 Siro-spun

An advanced spinning technique that twists two fiber strands together to create a smoother, stronger yarn that feels softer and resists pilling in the wash.

03 / 03 bluesign®

bluesign®-approved dyes meet rigorous standards for chemical safety and environmental responsibility. They’re free from harmful substances including carcinogenic azo dyes, heavy metals, and formaldehyde.This means cleaner production and safer contact with skin.
