With the great semi-pouch, there is no bare-skin-against-leg issue. Also less need for 'adjustments'. The dark grey is pleasing & a better color than the silver/grey color also available. The mfr. name is there, but on the side, so it's a lot less ostentatious than those 'domestic' brands that expect you to advertise their product. The XL size is right on, and the product expands enough so there is no need for a fly.
