Sprite Hot Pant
While others may disagree, we believe there's nothing more distracting or inconvenient than enduring the sensation of seriously-bunched-undies while skiing down the most beautifully sculpted chute Mother Nature ever created. Do yourself a favor and put the spunk back in your step (or ski) with the Icebreaker Women's Sprite Hot Pant. Made the way Mother Nature intended things to be, these undies are crafted with an ultralight merino wool combined with a touch of Lycra, these boy-short undies put a sassy spin on your run-of-the-mill hot pant silhouette with its low rise and full coverage. Additionally, merino wool naturally kicks unsavory odors out the door so you won't feel quite as stinky on those weeklong backpacking trips and hut-to-hut ski tours.

I have a pair of these and the icebreaker hipster style and the icebreaker hipster style is less prone to wedgies (especially if you have some back end) during activity. High quality though, and I like the style. Runs small compared to the hipster style. I bought these in a small and wear an XS in the hipster style. Feels comfortable not itchy, dries quick

I had picked up a pair on sale at a local store, then on the lookout for sales online. Picked up this second pair. Would love to get lots more and never wear cotton again!

It really feels so natural to wear wool undies. I'm perhaps in the complete opposite camp of the prior reviewer. I bought a pair of these forever ago and they've seriously withstood the test of time, and have been a go to garment for winter and summer adventures. I was looking for something a little more modest but still really comfortable and flattering and these are it. I think the trick is get the right size, I'm 5' 8" and closer to 155 these days, 41in hip, and size L fits great. Not too tight around the waist (these are lowrise) and flattering lines on bum, if they ride up, they're just a little cheeky and it's really not a full on wedgie. Just purchased the Velvet/Opal, and Black Stripe and they're just as pictured. Would highly recommend giving these try.

I bought three pairs of these undies in preparation for a summer working on a wildfire crew. While they performed well in keeping me dry and were relatively stink free after a hard day's work, I hated the way they fit. The band is super tight and the merino material stretches out and rolls up on my butt cheeks which is uncomfortable to say the least. I have an ample bootie, strong thighs and a small waist which I don't think is a good combo for these undies. The small elastic waist band wants to ride up towards my natural waist but the fabric material is cut for the undies to be worn in a low rise style which means these undies have no where to go except up my crack. Plus, the tight band gives me a muffin top. Yuck. Now I wear them on laundry days but the mostly live in the back of my undie drawer. I hate that I spent so much on them and they get little to no use.

These are the first pair of wool undies I've purchased and after a long day of hiking in the desert, I forgot I had them on. Needless to say I'll be picking up another pair. I can go small or medium depending on the style/brand and went small based on others reviews - they fit perfect. I wear a 28 in jeans, smaller buns and thicker thighs, largest hip area is 38.

Love the fabric, fit, and comfort! If you are into boy short silhouettes, these are your jam. Great for lounging round and/or being active - so pretty much covers the spectrum. Great buy!

The material of these are comfortable however the thigh band doesn't agree with my thunder thighs. Still comfy and moisture wicking though.

My wife is a huge fan of the Icebreaker Nature Sprite Hot Pant undies. She was worried they would look like granny panties, but they're actually quite cute (sorry, no photos ...). She really likes these for anything active -- hiking, climbing, horseback riding, etc. They provide relatively more coverage compared to other Icebreaker undies, which prevents chaffing on long excursions. As with all Icebreaker in my experience, the one flaw is durability. They will last 1-2 years of heavy use, but not longer.

Hey Will! Just want to thank you for your positive review and I'm so happy your wife loves these. That being said, I'm sorry to hear about your past expereiences with a lack of durability. We actually redesigned the fabric content last summer, so these should last you even longer than her older pairs. Wishing her a nice long relationship with her hot pants, Sydney

great underwear. okay band. these undies have been worn a lot. i mean, a lot. they're starting to show signs of wear. not as durable as i had hoped, but still comfortable and better than the awful ibex boy brief. (they ruined their underwear.) for the price, they should be a little burlier...in my opinion.

These area amazing. I don't normally wear boy shorts, but these provide great coverage and are incredibly comfortable. I have worn them as everyday, as well as on bigger hiking and climbing trips. The move, breathe, and dry really well. If you are still wearing cotton, it's time to make the switch!

There are a lot of great products out there, but as far as merino wool undies go, this has been my favorite brand so far! I can't stock up on these in bulk, but I find myself adding a new pair to every order! Love them and have now tried out a few different styles too!

These are my favorite! I wear them working out, under jeans, under skirts and dresses. They don't show lines and are so comfortable. I've had a few pairs for about a year, now. No defects or wear, unlike other brands or even the siren. Just wash as delicates and air dry. Please, put them on sale, again!

I was super happy when these first arrived. They are incredibly comfortable and great for moving around in. Unfortunately, they fell apart almost immediately. The fabric stretched out and tore through. If you do buy them, wash them carefully.

Hey Jessica, I'm sorry to hear these didn't work out for you. Were these the updated cut and fabric? We'd love to send you a new pair to test out if you're interested. Thanks, Sydney

I like the fit and look of these! They have become my everyday underwear and I have a few that I hand wash and wear all the time (I think these can also go in the washer, but I don't do laundry enough or have enough of these to have tried that yet). The leg holes are sometimes a bit tight when I'm sitting (the stitching around the leg is less stretchy), but I can readjust to make them comfy. They're great for walking, hiking, and so far anything I've done in them. They don't ride up ever!

Icebreaker for the win. Cute colors and a fit thats technical but still cute enough for date night. I bought these in an XS and S. I am between sizes. I found the small to be a bit too baggy and would bunch up under clothing but the XS fits snug the waistband only digs in a bit. Overall love having cute technical undies (with minimal stank after 5 days on the river!)
