Wool underwear? No, we’re not kidding. The I/O Bio Women's Contact 1 Boy Brief’s silky-smooth Enigma knit caresses your nether-regions with never-itchy, naturally anti-odor, and super-soft merino wool. A touch of elastane ensures that it doesn’t sag or bag, and the wide elastic waistband stays put without digging. Out on the trail, skiing the steeps, or every day, these boy-cut undies offer killer comfort.
I have never cared much about what I wear in terms of underwear on a ski day. Lace to cotton, thong to grannies I have warn it all in the backcountry, however now that I have gone Merino I will never go back! These are not only soft, but they keep EVERYTHING nice and dry and the cut is super comfy so you aren't left trying to adjust yourself when you should be dropping that line. If you are looking to treat yourself to something really great, you want to treat yourself to some I/O BIO briefs!
I own them in lime (two pairs), pink and orange. I'd snag the black too if they'd ever get them in medium! They wash and wear great. Stay put and are very flattering. I need more pairs!
i guess it depends on your definition of *low* and *mid* rise and your unique body. i am 5'10" and 130lbs. i bought the size small in these and they fit perfect. the waistband sits at 3 1/2" below my navel. i get full coverage in the back thanks to the wide waistband. super cute, super comfy whether you call them low or mid rise...
The past two seasons brief is lowrise.. Loved the old fit! I have a big but, and these will not really stay put, I have to pull up to often... but as I said, I have a big but (108cm seat 78cm waist). If your but is more average you should be better than fine whit these! Despite the 'update' of these, they are still my absolute favorite.
I would definitely say mid-rise. The newest ones are about an inch lower in the rise than the prior generation, but still mid. The cool part is that they are made of stretchy merino so you have a little more wiggle room as far as rise anyhow...
I consider them a medium rise. Definitely not waist high, but fit is about 3-3 1/2" below navel and just above the wide part of my hips on me. (5-5 and 140 lbs)

These are some of the most comfortable underwear I've worn. You don't realize you're wearing them until it's time to take them off. I find myself reaching for these over other underwear for more than just sports. Super soft and not itchy at all, and they are super cute!
I have fuller thighs and found these to bind at the leg openings, it wasn't so bad that I couldn't stand it but I didn't want to chance getting chaffing in a sensitive area. Other than that they were a great fit in every other way. I really love the I/O sport bras and wished I could have kept these undies to have a matching set, but oh well.
Very soft to the touch, the wool couldn't be softer, not itchy at all. Wears and washes well. and they look cute too. would buy more in different colors, cause i keep reaching for them not only for sports. great product.
