My wife and I do a weekly ten mile urban hike, and I always end up with something scraped/chafed/angry. I decided to upgrade shorts to see if that problem would go away, and I'm happy to report that these solved the problem. It's worth the extra money to not get chafed. No opinions yet on long term durability or hot weather operation, but for a ten mile hike in 40-degree weather, so far so good. I wore DUER No-Sweat relaxed fit tapered pants, and they were also great. As to the size remarks, I grabbed the box in the store with the XL label, as that is the size that I usually wear. I later noticed the size guide on the back of the box that suggested that these would be too large for me. XL fit well. I would say to ignore the inch guidance and go with the S-M-L-XL label.
I am known all over the world as “The Peterborough Sack” and I lost count many years ago at the number of brands, styles, and materials I’ve tried to give my massive nuts the comfort and support they deserve. I have found a couple that were pretty good. Man made are about the closest to my beloved SAXX. I feel relieved, rejuvenated and above all else, comfort! I’m doing things I could not have imagined doing because my massive sack would hold me back. Now I’m able to live a fuller life thanks to SAXX having my bag. I have placed 2 separate orders is the last few months and will continue to fill my wardrobe as needed! Thanks again, The Peterborough Sack!

I can’t believe I waited so long to try Saxx, I couldn’t be more pleased. For TMI context, I’m a long-distance runner (marathon +) and I’ve basically come to accept that chafe-misery is just part of the deal, after many years and of running and trying potential solutions. So far, I’ve posted 3 20+ mile runs with these and have been 100% chafe free. The future is bright...
Finding comfy underwear has become like looking for the holy grail…the Monty Python version. I’ve heard good things about SAXX so I gave the Hot Shots a try. - very expensive - great fabric concept but too rough. After an easy six mile walk on a moderately humid and warm east coast day, I have blister hotspots where there should be none, mostly at the seams. - very tight fit at the crotch, even though I sized up to an XL - bunches up like much less expensive brands. + the giggly bits pouch is comfortable + the fabric design, while rough, breaths extremely well. +/- comfy enough for sitting around the office or working around the house. I’m an active 5’9 220lb involved in multiple outdoor activities. These might work for climbing and biking but not hiking or running. At this price point, these are not for me.
I’m on a tropical island. It’s hot and humid. I’ve been waiting on the arrival of these undercrackers, to hopefully finally get rid of a persistent visit by Betty Swollocks. I am not disappointed. If I didn’t know for a fact that I’m wearing them- I put them on, so I must be- I almost wouldn’t know that I was wearing them. The sole giveaway is the comfortable and careful cosseting of my codlings, cradled carefully in the ballpark. This is the second batch of Saxx boxer briefs I’ve bought, since I first discovered the brand on a work trip to Toronto. I’ll likely be back for a third batch in a couple of years’ time. Between now and then, please keep up the good work.

I was looking to try new boxer briefs that were more comfortable and more moisture wicking than my current ones. I used a coupon to give these a try and was VERY DISAPPOINTED! They literally started falling apart the 1st time I wore them. Even more when washed on delicate. I got about 4 wears out of them before they had all but fell apart. At the price point I thought I was going to get something at least decent quality. I would not recommend- there are other options out there. I strongly suggest you try another brand.
I just bought 9 pairs of Boxer Briefs from 9 different brands/models. I am trying them all and will buy some additional pairs I like the most. So far these Saxx fall in 3rd place. I am going to do 3-4 washing and see how these and the others hold up. I don't care about how soft they are, what I care is that these or any briefs go all the way up the inseam. Leaving no are for my upper inner leg and my ball sack skin coming into contact. These do a great job, but the fit feels like they are like a tiny bit small...no a full size but just a touch on the small side and they pull on me a bit. I will see how these and the others do after the multiple washings, before making a final choice
These are a game changer in hot weather. I'm in Phoenix and have been looking for breathable underwear for over a decade. The dividers (or whatever they're called) Keeps things from sticking to your legs (=heat+sweat+no breathing). Bought my first pair (M) a month ago then tried large and just ordered two more pair of large. I hope they don't drop these. I tried Smartwool underwear, I used to wear wool dress pants and when thin they are actually way cooler and breathable than a pair of jeans. I hoped Smartwood/Icebreaker underwear would be the same but just too toasty. These things breathe great and they don't have a massive constrictive waistband like many. Just enough. I want to see how they'll work as breathable/driable underwear under shorts when I want to get in the water but not have to change into swim trunks.
