The waistband is great and doesn't bunch up or bind. They're crazy durable (still no holes or damage) They don't stink even after several days of wearing them. They're stretchy, but not tight or loose. No feeling of being restricted in the front with your bits.

I brought two pair with me for my hike and ended up sending one set home because I could easily wear them for a week without them getting gross.īecause of the sport mesh material, they breathe REALLY well These things are incredible! Here’s what I love about them. Having never worn them, I bought two pair for my hike and never looked back. They were the ExOfficio Give-n-go Sport Mesh boxer briefs and he said they were game-changing.Īnytime someone uses those words, I'm sucked in. Then, leading up to my hike on the PCT my friend tells me he found some amazing underwear that I should try. They felt like the cotton version of Merino.so tossed them.ĮX-OFFICIO On The Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) Layering up over them was super uncomfortable. They stretched out on me and would bunch up. Then I tried a pair of Merino wool boxer briefs because I figured since I loved merino for everything else, why wouldn't I like them for underwear. They were just your average pair of men’s boxer briefs, they weren’t BAD but they weren’t GOOD. I eventually moved from cotton to just some regular old spandex-type boxer briefs They worked well, but for some reason, they'd stink out eventually and they're not SUPER comfortable to wear because they don't breathe super well. Cotton is great for everyday use, but when you're working hard in the mountains, it gets nasty and can cause some serious chaffing. Once you start sweating, it's all downhill from there. They also don't do very well at airing out. Not a good choice for a number of reasons, but mainly because they stink really bad, really fast. Prior to wearing these, I first wore just cotton underwear.
