Where is it helping it to?

| As opposed to the same color as the rest of your uniform? Of course, matching the off-white of Estoc, Blade, Triplette etc (FIE lines) could be a little tricky. | |

| Well being a cyclist, I'm used to form fitting butt attire, so I guess it isn't too big of a deal for me. And as for underwear, well the visibility of my plaid boxers is not exactly a chief concern of mine when I'm on the piste. | |
