only had these out a few times. breath well on warmer days, pill a little after washing. best fly on ANY pair of skivies ever owned. longevity will prove if worth the cost.

this is the most comfortable underwear i ever tried! period! i have icebreakers and ex's but menng...this is something else,the moment i put it on i thought i had nothing on me,omg,they're so lightweight.i'm 36 and the large fit perfectly,not snug and not loose.

Expensive, but very comfortable. I found that the seams were bothering me, but I started wearing them inside out, and the problem has been completely solved!

Over all, these are up there with some of the best boxer briefs, but I still prefer my Under Armour boxerjocks and even my Ex Officios over these.

I bought two pairs of the boxer briefs and one pair of the boxers four months ago before a trip to South America. The boxer briefs are perfect. They do not have any irritating seems. The size is perfect in that they fit close to the skin but not tight where they ride up in the legs and eventually give you a wedgie like other brands I've bought. The wool is also perfect--not hot, always feels fresh and no smell like capeline. I hand washed and line dried while in South America with no problems. As a comparison, the boxer model is also great--just fits looser and perfect when you feel like swinging a little more free that day. TK

Very comfortable, but way over priced. That is the only reason they don't get 5 stars. Also, they seem to have odd sizing. I normally wear a L but based on other reviews ordered an XL which fits fine. Patagonia is almost as comfortable and more reasonably priced.

pros: Great underwear--comfortable, cut close but not too close, easy to wash.

cons: Expensive.

i went on a mission to find the ultimate pair of wool underwear for hiking/camping style activities and these were it. few seams, the waist band is part of the garment, not a separate itchy band. the "hole" in front is probably the coolest ever invented for ease of access and general comfort. i haven't run in them for hours at a time, but i have worn them for days, and they are my favorite. four out of five just because nothing is perfect...

If they were less expensive they'd be the only underwear I wear, period. they're super comfortable, they wick very well, I think they're perfect. I always machine wash them in cold and hang dry them, which makes them less convenient for day-to-day use. I'm not even sure that I have to do that--I'm just afraid I'm going to ruin them and I don't spend the $$$ to replace them.

Worked very well in high heat and humidity. Needed to wear them a few days on a trip. No odor.

These briefs feel like you're wearing air, keep upper thighs separated so there is no chafing, and wick moisture very well. Honestly, I was leery of paying this much for a first layer, but after using them for 9 days in 95-degree heat for 4- to 6-hour day hikes in Red Rock Canyon NV, I'm sold. I felt dry and comfortable all day, and the odor protection was fantastic.

Extremely comfortable. I had none of the chafing issues of others.

I bought these to use for soccer tournaments (i'm a referee and sometimes will ref 8-10 hours a day for a tournament). These wick very, very well to keep the sweat off as much as possible. Although I have had a big problem with chafing where the stitching is, although I doubt I would get the chafing if I used them for lesser activities like hiking or for a 2 hour run, and i'm sure it doesn't help that I have a classic soccer butt(big due to leg strength training). Basically, for the price I don't recommend them if you intend to use them in a similar capacity that I do (intensive running for most of the day), otherwise they would probably be a good asset for hot, humid areas.
