Description

Make a flag out of your old cotton boxers.

It's here guys, a boxer brief designed for the active lifestyle—the Stoic Men’s Merino Boxer Brief. Made primarily of merino wool, this natural fiber delivers moisture and odor-management and is exceptionally soft against the skin. Stoic's Y-elastic stitch technique makes a smooth, extremely comfortable seam at the waist and flat-stitch seams reduce rubbing. The addition of spandex adds the stretch you need to be comfortable whether you're on a skin track or bombing singletrack.

No sweat and high in comfort. Very stretchy and cool. I think it runs a little bigger than other underwear brands, as the large (which normally fits well) is not as tight as one would wish.

Just got a chance to use these on a 4-day snowmobiling trip in Northern Maine, temp was -10F. Great first layer, light weight, took less space in the luggage. They are an automatic now on all my snowmobile trips! Love that Merino wool!

A little tall in the waist otherwise a great first layer. Keeps everything at the right temperature and humidity level.

These are above all else, a solution for chafage on long hikes. And they perform that function flawlessly. Aside from that, they are comfy, stretchy, good-looking, and just the best pair of underwear I've ever owned. I own four of these, and would wear them every day if I could afford to buy a dozen more or so!

These are a perfect addition to a layering system. I never really believed that they would be too functional, but they do add a level of warmth and comfort to activity. They do size large, Im 200 pounds, 6'2" and the large is very big on me but they still work well.

5'8" 185 lbs with running back quads. can wear boxers in either M/L but these in L are like XXL ... already sliding down after walking just three steps. these might come in handy if i ever get exposed to thermonuclear radiation and turn into the Hulk. if i ordered these in size S, i'd probably give 'em five stars.

I've worn many types of briefs/boxers over the years, but these are the most comfortable by far. Plus, you can't beat merino wool. You just can't (Sorry polyester, your time has come and gone).

Now if only Backcountry would get some more of the smaller than XL sizes in....

I like these. They are a bit high-waisted - if I roll the waistband down once the fit is perfect, so, only 4 stars.

Bought these for hiking and river running and Canyoneering. Soft your skin and very comfortable.

These are my favorite. Snug anatomic fit. Easy access to the fly. Quick dry & consequently great for washing when traveling. Odor resistant. Order one size smaller. The only problem is: BACKCOUNTRY doesn't have a good stock of these. What the heck! Hopefully BACKCOUNTRY isn't stopping this product

These briefs seem to have less itchyness than Smartwool. They are very effective in removing moisture and leaving me dry. They weigh about 150 grams in XL for my 39" waist. Size recommendation is accurate. My I/O Bio briefs weigh about 106 grams and are too light.

Bought these on sale and they've become my regular boxers for trail running. Super comfortable, hold everything in place to avoid rubbing/chaffing problems. I've worn them about ~15 times and they seem to be holding up great. I'm a 33" waist and the mediums fit me great.

People argue over boxers vs. briefs. These boxer briefs have enough support for the brief guys and enough freedom for the boxer guys. These aren't compression shorts, nor are they particularly well suited for high intensity activities (basketball,running), but are excellent for hiking, nordic skiing, and general wear. Very comfortable.

Great quality product. Not rubbing or chaffing issues, you get the benefits you get out of any merino product but usually at a great sale price or a lower price compared to similar products. Not a cheap item at all for the lower price, top of the line quality and materials.

Simply the best boxer brief I've worn, in both XXL and XL. I am a competitive lifter, with big legs and a bit of a power gut, and these provide the best fit possible. The legs stay down, and they wick very well. The XXL seem to have worn faster than the XL, at this point, and are about ready to wear through the groin any time now, but I wore them 2-3x weekly for a year.

Highly recommended. My favorite underwear by a mile.

One issue: these are not as durable as I would like. With daily wear I get 4-6 month of wear before holes appear. When you find these on S&C or they are on sale they are pretty reasonable, but for full price the durability is definitely an issue

I agree with this! I got these for my husband who loved them, but he wore through them in about 6 months... big bummer for the price.

I am a thick guy, 6'3" 220#, ex-college football player with legs lke tree trunks and a large rear end. I have chronic problems with most briefs hiking up as hikes progress. These fit like a glove. Not to tight, but not sloppy. They extend just far enough down the leg to latch to you lower quad. The merino is extremely comfortable, and after 9 days of continuous wear, they smelled as if they were right out of the wash. For any other large quad and butt guys, athletically built that is, these are amazing. Can't beat Stoic's prices on merino too.

Could you please do not delete this product! It is great for guys with wide legs that have chafing issues, and is hard to find great inseam length merino wool boxer briefs. It is an honest concern.

I agree. Some may feel that they don't look good, but they feel great.
