            These briefs are cut too small, too close to the crotch. They are almost a jock-strap. No matter how large the size; the leg holes of these briefs are going to be 2-inches closer to the crotch than the Jockey-brand. I put on a pair of Jockey and put these on over the top of the Jockey. The leg seams of these bunch up into the crotch, giving you a rash. A complete waste of [$]. I am throwing them out.

            Comments about Patagonia Active Briefs - Men's:

            If current briefs are the same as the 2007 briefs they start getting holes/runs in the fabric within a few months. I bought two pair and they both started getting holes in them. I really like them and I sent the two pair back to Patagonia and they did replace them. I have older versions of Patagonia briefs and they do not do this, they wear like iron. I am hoping Patagonia changes their fabric back to the old fabric.

            Comments about Patagonia Active Briefs - Men's:

            About a year ago I had had enough and decided to get cotton out of my life. When I'm walking around during the day I like the support of a brief. So I tried several brands and styles. These are by far my least favorite. The fabric is rougher then any others and if you sit down for a bit it ends up feeling itchy. Also the leg holes are small and tight. In practice I only end up grabbing these when they are the last pair in the drawer. Would recommend the ex-officio or REI MTS instead.

            Other then that they breath very well and dry quickly.

              Like others have noted, the leg holes are way too tight. They feel extrememly uncomfortable after a few minutes of wear.
