      Comments about Patagonia Active Briefs - Women's:

      I purchased these undies after seeing multiple 5 star reviews. I was not disappointed in the least and now and writing yet another 5 star review. I use these for running, hiking, and long international plane flights. These undies stay in place and are the most comfortable underwear I own (athletic and otherwise). I am 5'7", 128 pounds and normally wear a size 6 in pants. The small fit me perfectly. I have tried numerous athletic underwear in the past and gave up for years and just suffered with cold and wet cotton underwear when working out. But no longer. I am a fan for life.

      Comments about Patagonia Active Briefs - Women's:

      I am 5'7" and 210 pounds (down from 230!) and have been running for almost four months now. Tired of peeling cold, wet cotton underwear off of my body after a run, I decided I'd been sticking with it long enough to invest in some athletic underwear. I was hesitant to shell out so much money for a single pair of underwear, but after reading other people's reviews I decided to take a chance. I love them! They cover my rear (and I have an ample toosh) and stay in place, and they don't retain a lot of sweat like cotton underwear. The waistband falls about 3 inches below my belly button, so they don't feel like low-rise or bikini style underwear nor do they feel like your granny panties you wore in elementary school. I am buying a few more pairs. I wish they came in more colors/prints. I don't want undies for a night of seduction (Patagonia - don't you dare change the cut/fabric!), but could they could pretty please come in more choices?

        Comments about Patagonia Active Briefs - Women's:

        My husband and I will be in Vietnam for about a month, and I really didn't want to visit a laundromat or take 30 pair of underwear. I bought the black patagonia pair and a pair of ExOfficio. ExOfficio did not stay in place, rode right up as soon as I took one step. Patagonia are amazing! I washed them out by hand one night, rolled them up in a towel to pull out the moisture and they were just about dry enough to put back on! I'm buying a second pair!

          Comments about Patagonia Active Briefs - Women's:

          These are by far the best underwear I have ever worn. They fit perfectly and are so comfortable! If you are someone who is active and gets sweaty, these are perfect for you because they are lightweight and dry quickly. I would never wear cotton or even another quick drying pair of underwear while being active again! I love them so much I wish I could wear only these every day, but I can't afford that many pairs of[$] undies!

            I (Bob's wife) bought these for our month long trip to Europe. They were fantastic. They hold up in the laundry - or you can hand wash and line dry. They are very comfortable. Highly recommend to anyone.

              I like these better than other brands for hiking. They fit great. I wouldn't wear anything else for backcountry or a serious day of hiking.

                These are very comfortable and thin so that no panty line shows. They dry fast and stay put. Wash after wash there is no pilling.

                    I contemplated buying these for a while. My only regret is not buying them sooner! It is difficult to find excellent quality active underwear. They are very comfortable and serve their purpose well. I am tempted to buy 5 more pairs and at the sale price its a great deal. I haven't tried anything that compares.

                      I wear these during heavy aerobic activity and while hiking. I don't like to wear them at other times, but feel they work well during intense activity.
