Icebreaker BodyFit200 Boxer - Men's

OK, so to retort my own critical review ("Grandma's bloomers"), these are the business. Turns out Backcountry must have messed up the sizing chart -- I looked on Icebreaker's website & they had a much more reasonable & normal sizing chart. It says L is my size; no kidding. So I re-order them in L and whaddaya know, they fit like a glove, or, some other thing that also fits closely down there. Yeah, these boxer-briefs are awesome. Get some. You'll understand. Can I give these 6 out of 5?

What is with the sizing? I have a 36-37" waist and normally take like a L in underwear. The guide here says that a 33" waist is a XXL. And that's as big as they go. Say what?!?! I put them on and the waist is a little snug, but the rest of the brief fits like pantaloons. I feel like a darn pirate. Arrr! The photos here show the briefs as being snug fitting, well for that to happen, the model / mannequin must be getting cut clean in half by the waist band. I have a drawer-full of Icebreaker shirts, which are wonderful. What's up with the fit of these things?

What can I say? You can use them for everything: officework, mountainclimbing, running etc. Perfect warmth and no smell.

Just recently got introduced to ice breaker stuff.. it's awesome.. dries fast.. and retains very little smell. This underwear is great in those respects too. However, for athletic stuff, I thought the fit could be a bit more snug. But still a great product.

I just want to mention that as close fitting as these are...they keep me cool and dry in the warm weather and warm and dry during the cold days. And I never seem bunched up! Love these!!!!

Great underwear, if they' only move that tag on the inner seam or use some other material. great for traveling. Wash it and hang it out to dry. Usually dries in a day.

Just got back from a week-long sea kayaking expedition in the Everglades. I wore these boxer briefs for the duration of our trip (occasionally rinsing them in the ocean) and they didn't stink one bit! They did a great job wicking sweat away and didn't really get too hot despite the fact that my lower body was in the kayak with a spray skirt. Hope this helps!

in terms of price, not in the lofty neighborhood of Ibex or SmartWool, but nearly as well made as the aforementioned.

Best underwear for travel, doesn't itch. Maybe I got last year model, looking at previous review, so it's hard to tell, but mine hold pretty well so far, no tag itching, doesn't climb in your crotch, doesn't SMELL, but you still will have to change sometimes.

Unfortunately this year's Icebreaker wool boxers have some changes for the worse: a far less comfortable elastic band around the top (once soft, now stiff), an awkward fit (less supportive), and a larger number of (uncomfortable and unnecessary) tags. They are still made of the same highly functional merino wool, however. For those who have never tried wool boxers, they are soft, grow softer with every washing, can't be dried in the drier but dry overnight, don't generate static electricity, and are equally comfortable under running tights, jeans, or even dress clothes.
