Comments about Patagonia Active Boxer Briefs - Men's:

I would wear this underwear everyday if I could afford enough pairs. They are comfortable. They fit nice and don't bunch. They keep me cool and dry. They pack small, are leightweight and dry fast on the trail yet they don't compromise any comfort for everyday wear. The perfect pair of underwear!

Comments about Patagonia Active Boxer Briefs - Men's:

I have three pairs of these, primarily used for athletics/outdoors. They are definitely better than cotton, but under-perform for the price.Pros:They breathe and wick exceptionally well, and do a moderate job of cutting odor. They're also lightweight and provide good support.Cons: The biggest con is the material is not durable; one pair already has a dime-sized hole. They also tend to ride up, especially in the back.At $[$]a piece, I expected more.

Comments about Patagonia Active Boxer Briefs - Men's:

They are scratchy. Go with the Ex-officios, they are cheaper and much softer. The underarmor do a better job at wicking away moisture. You are paying for nothing other than the name on these.

This is a polyester mesh, not a fabric.

I don't believe what is pictured is the product, because if it was, you could see the mans junk.

These are amazing in every way, they breathe more than wick, they feel like they disappear against the skin. Especially good for travel, they wash and dry easily.

Comments about Patagonia Active Boxer Briefs - Men's:

Yes, [$] is ridiculous to pay for underwear. But so are chaffed inner thighs which can ruin the most epic adventures. If you have to, find some soda cans to return and buy a pair. If you can only afford one dont worry, it will be dry by morning after a quick wash in the pond.

Comments about Patagonia Active Boxer Briefs - Men's:

I found these on sale, and ended up buying four of them at once to wear in the summer in hot, humid Washington DC. These boxers are quite comfortable, and I really liked them for the first couple of months that I owned them - very breathable and moisture wicking. However, I discovered that they just completely started falling apart after only a few washings - and I was washing them on delicate with woolite and only minimally drying in the drier on low. And it's not that they fall apart at them seems - the fabric itself just rips to shreds, particularly in the friction point around the crotch. Very disappointing for Patagonia to put out such a faulty product. I purchased an Ex Officio pair at the same time, and these have held up MUCH better. Save your $$ and put it towards the Ex Officios.

Comments about Patagonia Active Boxer Briefs - Men's:

I have owned 4 pairs, and do local hikes with my wife two or three times a week. While initially comfortable, and they fit quite well, they wear very quickly. Very poor fabric durability in any friction zone. Maybe 10-15 wear and washes at most for me. Agree with many reviewers the Ex Officios are much better selections.

Comments about Patagonia Active Boxer Briefs - Men's:

I was sure that this underwear would work out nice while exercising at the gym. I was wrong. The product rides up on me. Also, it is not very comfortable. I recommend Exofficio underwear. It is so much more comfortable, durable, and fits niceley. Also, it is much cheaper than the Patagonia brand. I think the only thing you are paying for is the brand name.
