Comments about REI Briefs - Men's:
I agree with the comment about riding up. The old fabric was great and I wish I had bought several more. The new fabric will not stay out of places you don't want it. Unfortunately, the two pair I bought wound up in the donation pile. I'm a big REI fan but these were not a hit…

REI brand lasts longer than ex-officio brand. REI brand most comfortable (for me). Have several pair of both brands.

If you like pulling your underwear out of your crack every five minutes, these are for you!
REI - please bring back the old fabric and design.

Comments about REI Briefs - Men's:
The fabric is very soft. I like the matching waistband. The leg openings are too big and sometimes ride up. They wash up well, they dry by the next morning.

Comments about REI Briefs - Men's:
I use these strictly for sweat-inducing aerobic exercise, so my evaluation pertains to that type of use, not as regular underwear (I wear cotton briefs for that). These are lighter than a previous version of REI sports briefs, and they provide better support for "my boys." Unlike some other brands I have worn, the waist band is nice and soft, while secure enough to keep the briefs from slipping. This is the most comfortable wicking brief I have worn, and the support is just right. I hope REI keeps making these exactly like they are now! (But I know that is probably a vain hope.)

Comments about REI Briefs - Men's:
I tried these as an alternate to Ex Officio travel briefs, but until REI works on the elastic (or whatever), these things will continue to ride up, making them very uncomfortable.

Comments about REI Briefs - Men's:
Had a couple pairs of older style - more open-mesh style fabric, great breathability. The new style is much less comfortable in hot or high-energy activity, which is kinda the point, right?

Comments about REI Briefs - Men's:
Underwear are awesome. Great feel to them. If they didn't ride so bad up I wouldn't be returning all of them. I should have listened to the reviews. 5'7" 150lb.
Service and delivery comments:
Rei's shipping is boring. It just shows up when it is supposed too. There are no suprises or problems.

Just bought 6 pairs since the last pairs I bought were great. New style. New fit. They ride up behind. I'll be taking them back. Don't you hate it when something good changes and doesn't work for you anymore?

Comments about REI Briefs - Men's:
Like several other customers I owned several pairs of the old 100% polyester briefs. These new nylon/spandex briefs are not as comfortable (the seams chafe and irritate my skin). I have tried the Patagonia 100% polyester briefs and they do not fit well, and are not as comfortable as the old REI briefs. Please bring back the former product line.
