The intimate apparel company Knix has introduced a new product line named MNTD, which is its first venture into the men's essentials market.
Knix's MNTD collection includes underwear, t-shirts, long-sleeved shirts, and socks. All of these garments are constructed from incredibly comfortable fabrics that offer "innovative performance functionality" and a good fit. The MNTD men's essentials feature advanced capabilities such as the Mint Condition™ Anti-Odor Technology and "the first-of-its-kind Pristine Pouch™ which wicks away moisture from the skin and blocks it from showing through."
According to Joanna Griffiths, Founder & President of Knix, the brand expanded into the men's essentials category because "men deserve products that look great, feel great and keep them feeling their best all day long."
