I bought 4 pairs of black boxers. 3 were of the same style, longer in length. The 4th pair were shorter. Not sure the deal with that but I prefer the longer. They were all nice soft material though

These boxer/briefs are truly amazing. It's like you're wearing a cloud for underwear. It is very true that once you go merino wool there is no turning back. Amazing price point too considering every other merino wool boxers I have ever bought usually costs me anywhere from $35 to $50

I have 6 pair of black ones and 4 of the grey. They're all larges but the grey ones are about 1 3/4" shorter in the legs, made of thinner material, and are tighter in the hips. The black ones are the best underwear I've ever had. The grey ones, I'd give 2 stars. The biggest problem is that the legs are just short enough that they ride up into a brief-like wedgie when I ride my bike. The black ones don't do that. These were ordered in 2 batches, the black ones that I love were purchased 5/17. The grey ones that suck are from 11/18. Maybe it's the batch not the color? I just ordered some more but if they're not like the first batch they're going back. I kind of feel ripped off about the second bunch. They're not the same thing AT ALL, but of course by the time I figured that out it was too late to return. UPDATE: OK I got a third batch of these today and they seem good. Legs are long enough. Material seems sturdy, the waistbands are maybe even a little wider, which is awesome. I'd give these 5 stars. These are more black ones too BTW. Maybe newer grey ones are like this too but I'm not chancing it. I'm still kind of pissed about the grey ones I bought last year. I spent $29 a pair on those and hate them. These were around $22 and they seem great.

i bought several pairs of these 1-2 years ago, and loved them. material, construction and fit all great. it was disappointing to receive these, and see how stoic has changed the fit. they added significantly to the height, and all of that increase was added to the rise. from the pouch to the waistband the dimension on a size M increased by well over an inch. no problem if you want the waistband of your drawers up around your navel. unfortunate that they messed up something that was properly dialed in.

I have been buying this product for years. I have about 12 pairs and its all i wear. My new order of 4 had several problems. first only three pairs were shipped. second, it seemed like two of the three had been tried on previously. third , while I have lost six pounds from training the new ones were too tight on the waist and fourth it seemed like the material is slightly different. Maybe this is connected to the new tighter waist band if the source of the product changed, which is my suspicion. Shame as these were a fabulous product.

I've been using these since the brownish ones from four years ago. Had two pairs of those that got me through three fire seasons as primary wearers (burned through a few exOfficio, Icebreaker and Smartwool alongside). Last year ordered three pairs of the new Stoic style but had two wear through in just the one fire season. Brutal because the price is now 40 bucks instead of 25. The old ones wore through on the waist whereas the new ones wear through on the crotch seam. Last longer than all other brands, but for the higher price and tighter fit I'm going to try some other brands first.

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

nice undies

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.

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.
