These are the best boxers around. 3 years ago, I ditched all my cotton undermundos in favor of merino. I spent $200 on all new underwear. My friends called me crazy, my family was very confused. One of the best decisions of my life. I'm not joking. Merino underwear will change your life. Breathable, comfortable, can be worn multiple days (sounds gross, I know, but trust me. Sniff and see for yourself, just keep that booty clean).

They do run a littler smaller than previous years -- tighter on the leg and like other reviewers said, not a ton of breathing room but still very comfortable.

These are an all around nicely fitting, comfortable underwear. They stay dry and don't bag out. I have also worn the Smartwool underwear and in comparison, these seem a tiny bit thicker and more durable, but not too thick by any means for warm weather. I am about a 29 inch waist, big legs and the small fits well.

Frankly the best multi-use underwear I've ever bought. I wear it for snowboarding, hikes and as dailywear for life in general. They last long, are always dry and comfortable.
For a while Stoic seemed to have stopped making these, so I'm very glad to see they are back in stock and hope to see them as a staple item on Backcountry.com.
Price is a little high for underwear... I don't get that. I guess... sheep. ?

I am 6’ 185lbs and waist is 32-33”. I ordered a couple pairs of the Stoic merino wool medium and they fit well around waist and lower thighs but is tight and uncomfortable around crouch region. Material feels very well but not worth the discomfort.

These are incredibly comfortable. Soft, not itchy in the least, barely feels like you're wearing them. The only reason I took a star off is the size chart is sketchy. My waist size is around 33-34 inches, which is a large according to the chart. I'm usually a medium in all other brands. While they aren't falling down, they do feel a touch loose. I just got a pair of these in medium today and they fit perfectly. As I said, though, they're great otherwise.

Best money I ever spent on underwear. Currently using them on a long distance bike tour. Fit, comfort, and smell-proof factor are all off the charts. Would highly recommend for all outdoor activities.

As far as wool boxers go, these stand up to the best. The thick waist band is a nice touch, and the boxers are snug but not tight, so they fit very comfortably and work well with movement, I just ran a marathon in them last weekend and they were a dream!

Overall great quality. I dig the wider/thicker waistband, it doesn’t feel constricting and is super soft. Very breathable but still thick enough to be durable.
Will probably need more than just 2 pairs

I've been wearing merino boxers every day as regular underwear for years now and have gone through several brands, these are by far the best that I've tried.

The material is thicker, more comfortable, and more durable than other brands, the inseam is longer, and they have the absolute best wide, soft, sewn-in waistband. Others are content with a raw elastic waistband, which presents 2 problems- it's uncomfortable, and the shorts tend to rip where the merino is stitched to the elastic. Not an issue with the stoic shorts which is a big reason why they last longer.

One slight knock- I have both black and heather grey pairs, and the inseam length on the grey ones are about 3

very soft and comfortable, yet sturdy. The fabric is probably a tad too thick to wear in a hot climate or during the summer, but great otherwise. I've been using them as pajama bottoms/shorts.

I am a fan of merino. I use it during the winter, for spring and fall hikes, and any other time I need temperature control but don't want to use smelly polyester. These are great for all of those reasons and depending on how they hold up I will probably get another pair.

these are the most comfortable undies i've had.

Stoic sometimes has a weird fit. I am happy to say that these are spot on for the fit, not to mention the price too. I will be taking a few pairs of these on our Peru trip coming up. I ordered a medium and i'm a size 32 waist.

Well, I ordered two pairs about two years ago. In that time those trusty two weathered over 240 days of wildland firefighting, over 100 days of hunting, trips to Asia and Europe and South America, and nearly a hundred ski/skinning days. I don't run in them and the one time I did did not end well. In all other activities, these thing are bomb, and I'm pleasantly surprised to find them still in stock. I got them last time for $26 but I think these are worth it to around $40 a pair. Not as tight fitting as the Icebreaker or Smartwool varieties, which is nice. Very durable. I thought Stoic was long-gone! Now if only I could get some more Stoic bibs...?!? I am a 34 waist and my old pairs were Larges; may try a Medium this time.

Hard to even notice when sleeping in these. The fabric is thick and soft; very comfortable and firm fitting.

The rest of my baselayers are merino so I figured I’d give them a shot and they are worth every penny. Comfortable, durable, temperature regulating, naturally odor-resistant... what else do you need?

full-on merino is the only way to go. These are great and i have multiple pairs. My favs.

Looking for amazing comfort and moisture wicking ability for a great price? You found a winner here! I picked up a pair a week ago and I'll be picking up 3 more pairs very soon.

just like they should be.
Really though..these are awesome and at a great price. They fit and feel great!

After reading the review below I couldn't believe how durable these are. I can't wait to get 2 years out of each pair.
