The men’s Pant from the Birddogs carry built-in underwear which might sound awkward at first but then, a try-on will definitely convince you that they are indeed comfortable.
The Pants at Public Rec do not carry built-in underwear, I’m afraid there is no underwear for you in the Public Rec Pants.
The differences that both Brands share can all be gotten from their method of construction.
In this article, we will review the features of each Brand and understand the difference they share in their method of construction.
What is Public Rec?
Public Rec is a famous clothing Brand with branches spread around the world in countries like Peru, Indonesia, Thailand, and then Vietnam.
They have a go-to line which is made up of spandex, Pima Cotton, and Tensel which are noted as key factors in making the texture of their wears thick, durable and comfortable.
The Public Rec clothing line features a lot of bottoms that we are likely to use every day of our lives.
They have shorts, Pants, Joggers, and then underwear.
All of these mentioned above have a very unique construction done to them which makes them stand out even in the midst of their lookalikes.
With the competition now in the world of fashion, the Public Rec clothing has managed to maintain its position in providing quality wear for the use of the general public and athletes.
It is safe to assume that Public Rec clothing is made for athletes as most of their wear is made to serve on the go.
What is Birddogs?
Birddogs Brand is known for its men’s shorts that have managed to put the name of the Brand in the mind of everyone out there who loves to keep form and look good while keeping form.
This is the go-to brand when you want to look good and fit even when you engage in your workout sessions.
The Birddogs Inc. features a line of clothing that consists of Pants and shorts.
In the shorts collection, we have the khaki shorts, gym shorts, oxford shorts, and then bathing shorts.
In the Pants collection we have the khaki Pants, Joggers and then sweat Pants.
The Pants made by the Birddogs are some of the stylish pairs you must have come across sometime but had no idea about.
They have a perfect construction that makes them blend in with regular straight trousers even though they aren’t.

First Glance
The first glance of Pants from individual Brands is convincing enough to make you think they are from the same Brand.
But when you pick up the Public Rec Pants and go for the fly, you will see that there are no zippers which is in fact a red flag for some when convenience comes into play.
The Birddogs have zippers and also feature built-in underwear that you can use to differentiate them from any other Brand out there.
Functionality
The functionality of the Birddogs Pants is nothing to compare with the Public Rec and that is if you feel comfortable wearing them without your own underwear.
But if you are someone like me who does not really go with planning everything, you might find the inbuilt underwear that Birddogs Pants come with to be a hindrance to how you can use them.
For instance, you hang out with your friends at their place, by the swimming pool or the beach and everyone goes like “Yay let’s go swimming”.
You can’t pull off your pants if you are not wearing separate underwear, can you?
You will have to pass on that or better still, go for it and end up soaked and wet, cold all through the ride or walk back home.
Nevertheless, the decision of which one is more functional is a choice you will have to make on your own after noting down your chances.
Fitting
Both Brands make Pants that offer you a chance to customize the fitting, especially at the waist.
This is because the Pants are either made with elastic strings inside or with loops to allow you to fit the waist to your preferred size with a belt.
However, with the Birddogs you will have to size up from your regular size when ordering if you want to get your normal size, if not then you are up for some small sizes.
The case is reversed with the Public Rec Pants. They fit true to size and have enough room for your thighs which counters the probability of squeezing your balls.
You might have to order a size down with the Public Rec if you wear in-between sizes.
Other than that, the Public Rec Pants are good to go and are the best in terms of fitting.
Construction
The Birddogs Pants are comfortable when it comes to the interior, and this is due to their construction.
The Birddogs Pants are made with a combination that consists of cotton and polyester as seen on the table.
In fact, if you are used to tight-fitting Pants, you can wear the Birddog Pants longer than you would wear the Public Rec Pants.
This is because Cotton makes the interior of the Birddogs Pant comfy and soft, unlike the Public Rec Pants that are made with nylon and spandex only, which makes them thick and sturdy.
In terms of valuable protection, the front and back pockets of the Public Rec Pants carry zip covers which help in protecting your valuables when you walk, run or even ride on a bike.
You will be letting go of comfort and style if you chose the Public Rec Pants over Birddogs as Birddogs are much more stylish.
Also, Birddogs come with inbuilt underwear a feature that the Public Rec Pants lack, although this underwear can make you uncomfortable if you are not used to how it feels.
You will also be letting go of protection and convenience when you chose the Birddogs Pants over the Public Rec as the Public Rec Pants come with a lot of freedom, at least you get to wear your own choice of underwear.
Price
The price tags of these Pants are okay. The Public Rec Pants cost more than the Birddogs and that is okay.
For the fact that they offer you zippers on all pockets and then ensure that their products fit true to size which means there is no chance of you ordering the wrong size.
The Birddogs on the other hand offers you comfort and stability.
Their Pants may get a little bit tight but there is a chance that you won’t feel uncomfortable due to the fact that they have a soft and comfy interior.
Plus, to justify their price tag they come with underwear. What more can you ask for, for just $109?
