Comments about REI String Bikini Briefs - Women's:

This underwear is great - true to size - so light weight feeling- you feel like you have nothing on! I prefer the bikini style to the brief style- so thats why I gravitated to these over the other ones offered online and I'm happy I did. The fabric that goes around my hip area doesnt pull too tight to create a weird look. I usually am a large in Victoria secret underwear- so I ordered a large in these to be safe and they fit me perfectly.

Comments about REI String Bikini Briefs - Women's:

I like the fit and own several pairs that I hike in. They wick and dry well. The only problem I have is with one pair. The string part tore away from the main part. I sewed it together and continue to wear them. Maybe extra seam reinforcement would be a good idea for such expensive underwear.

Comments about REI String Bikini Briefs - Women's:

Not usually a fan of the string bikini style, but these were on sale when I went to buy a pair. They were so lightweight I didn't notice them. Used them for an all-day snow activity and they wicked away the sweat and kept my skin dry. There was one tag that was a bit scratchy, but easily ripped out for comfort!

First impression: good for day hikes and activities. Compared to the ExOfficio's (I own a pair as well) they do not seem as durable, simply because of the fabric. I think they are a cost-friendly alternative to stock up on, but for longer trips I'll stick with my favorite old pair.

String cuts into hip

Comments about REI String Bikini Briefs - Women's:

As with most women, I have some soft fatty areas around my buttocks and hips. Most underwear stretches to fit at the hip as well as around the buttocks.

The Medium size of this underwear cut deeply into the fatty areas of my hip, though the rest of the material fit comfortably in that size. The Large size is baggy everywhere but the hip, where it *just barely* cuts into me. Both sizes are being returned, unfortunately. They're too expensive to fit so poorly when brands like Exoficio are so well made.
