I got these before the Camino last year, hoping to find something that dried quicker than my Calvin Klein boxer briefs. These probably dried quicker, but not by much. The real problem was the fit. Way to loose in the groin area, causing chafing on my first couple of days. I got by with them by keeping them pulled up by rolling the waistband. Not a great solution. I should have bought them sooner and tried on some hikes around home before, like my other gear. I won't make that mistake again.

My go-to underwear

Tried out a pair of these after experiencing durability issues with some very comfortable wool underwear from another outdoor company. The Echo boxer are lighter, more breathable, and just as comfortable if not more so. I ordered five more pair.

The Real Deal

Was in a bit of a search for some new underwear that can do it all. I heard some good reviews of these and could not be happier. Great for running, hiking, lifting, lounging and super breathable.

Quick drying and good fit.

I use them for backpacking and travel. They fit well, are comfortable for walking - no thigh chafing, and they dry out very quickly!

Overall good, but didn't quite meet expectations

I got these in order to keep dry and cool while doing more strenuous hiking for wildlife surveys and while that held true for most of the day, in the end they fell a little short. I tend to be very sweaty so most moisture wicking only works for light to moderate exercise for me so I won't knock them too hard and they did hold up for the most part. But when they stopped being dry I ended up chafing which was painful.

Worth Your Support

The Echo Boxer Briefs are not the snuggy huggy boxer brief that resembles compression wear. They are super comfortable and light boxer briefs with good support. This makes the Echo Boxer Briefs great for travel. They hand wash and dry easily and work as well under slacks as under hiking shorts. Probably would not choose them for a 50K, but will choose them for long hikes and backpacking -as well as business trips.

Very comfortable! Fast drying. Pleasing to females!

Bought one pair. Loved them. After a year I decided they were my favourites. Found more on sale but in a pattern that's less conservative than my usual. My wife loves them!

These are the only boxer briefs I like

Every other pair I have ever owned seems to constantly creep up and give me wedgies. These are the right length to stay put perfectly and comfortably all day long.

Super comfy, Super breathable

Great boxers for working out, hiking, travel and every day use. Definitely will be buy another couple pairs.

Great boxer briefs

Worked out in them once, great sweat wicking and comfort
