Comments about REI Mesh MTS Boxer Briefs - Men's:

I love the fit and feel of these boxers. They are not restrictive in the least and provide great range of motion.

The only dislike about them is that in really warm weather they don't breathe well enough to keep me cool. They retain the heat very well and it makes them perfect for cool weather activities.
Overall a great product though

Comments about REI Mesh MTS Boxer Briefs - Men's:

I live in a humid environment with high temperatures and cotton doesn't cut it. These briefs leave me feeling dry in the worst conditions. Add Borax to your washing machine to help remove odors. Don't lock in odors with the dryer.

Comments about REI Mesh MTS Boxer Briefs - Men's:

I love this style of underwear - it is all I use. I bought 6 pair of REI and 6 pair of exoffico at the same time two years ago. All exoffico b/briefs are like new - the REI b/briefs are ragged; two have been discarded and three are thin and about gone in the crotch - area where the wear out. On sale they are valued about right, other wise spend the extra money and get the exoffico.

      These are my favorite warm weather/activity underwear. They fit great, move great, and breath incredibly!!!

      The only reason I'm not giving these a 5 is price.

        Cotton wears well but when you are sweaty or in wet/damp environments it can be clammy and uncomfortable. These briefs don't have this problem.

          I bought a couple of pair for a family member living overseas because my husband liked them so much and when they came back to the US to visit he had me get him 10 more pair. Perfect for hot and humid climates. [...]

          Comments about REI Mesh MTS Boxer Briefs - Men's:

          There is a reason why these are always on sale. I really like the older style REI MTS's. these quickly wear out (Imagine taken them out of the dryer and putting them in a your clothes drawer and tehn reaching for a pair on Monday morning only to see a big hole the size of a grapgruit in the crotch. they wear fast. they also stink after a few months of wear. I now have to soak in a concoction of biz and boraxfor 24 hours to get rid of the odors. REI bring back the old style....PLEASE!!!!
