Comments about ExOfficio Bikini Briefs - Women's:
I purchased these to wear while running/hiking/etc. because they were recommended by other reviewers and by staff [...]. I have been disappointed. The waist is fairly high, and the size seems slightly big, so there is some extra fabric over my stomach that sort of bunches. However, in the back there isn't enough fabric to cover my butt adequately. The leg elastic is also slightly bulky and does not stay where it is placed, so it shows clearly through all of my clothes and sometimes ends up feeling more like a thong. It's possible I got a defective pair, but at this price, I'm not willing to buy a second pair to test that theory.

Comments about ExOfficio Bikini Briefs - Women's:
I bought these because of how travel-ready they are, and have no complaints about that--but these are the most unattractive underwear I have ever encountered. While the material is great: really breathable, wicking, etc., they seriously come up to my belly button. That's about 2 inches higher than most of my pants/shorts, so it's kind of a problem. One major positive that shouldn't be overlooked, though, is that these are virtually wedgie-proof, even when running.

These truly are amazing undies. Incredibly durable - I got my first pair as a present nearly five years ago, and not only am I still using them, I can't tell them apart from the newer pairs. I have built my collection and now won't wear anything else. They breathe well, dry quickly, and rarely give me wedgies.

Purchased 2 pair for a 17 day European trip. Worked great. Do read the directions on how to dry them. You must do the towel trick or they will not dry over night. Great for hiking, sitting on a plane. very comfortable all around

It breathes- wicks moisture after long hours, doesn't bunch up. Consistent for any level of activity. Hey, if I wanted a sexy, seamless underwear I'd go to the lingerie store but these guys won't let you down. PS if there isn't enough fabric to cover your rear end, don't blame the underwear . . .

I bought these a few years ago when they only had black and light blue. I wear the black ones a lot. I landed in a mud puddle and it was hard getting the mud color out of the light blue pair. I bought in Large and Med. and they both fit almost the same altho if you were bigger, go for the bigger size. They still look new and I bring them on all trips. Very easy to wash/dry if you wring them out in a towel; otherwise they don't dry in 2 hours. Easier to pack 2/3 pairs than 6 pairs of other panties and washing is easy. I think these are wonderful and have recommended to all my friends. Now, if only they would go on sale, then I would buy up a dozen pairs of all colors!! and toss everything else I have.

Purchased one pair of these to wear under quick-dry pants, so happy with them! Wore them for 15 hours and they were as comfy at midnight as when I put them on at 7am.
Super, super quick-drying -- spent over an hour sliding on my behind down Mt. Rainier and although they got a bit wet they dried really fast and I never even felt dmap.
I wish they were seamless, sometimes it felt like the elastic was rubbing a bit but nothing too uncomfortable.
Will definitely be picking up a second pair in a different color.

I took two pairs of these briefs on a Baltic cruise. They were very comfortable and looked nice, however I was disappointed by how long they took to dry in our cabin- about a 1-1/2 days. I really needed 3-4 pairs. I was able to dry them more quickly using the hair dryer but I expected better performance based on their quick-dry claim.
