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!

I bought a few pairs of these that I wore on a 2 week camping trip and they were AWESOME. The merino was really durable and I didn't have a pilling issue the whole trip. Also, since wool is naturally odor resistant, I could get a couple days out of them without smelling like a yak. Would highly recommend.

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.

This pair of boxers fit true to size and were very comfortable. Unfortunately the boxer part started separating from the waistband after a short time. They are now getting to the point where they are falling apart. I kept wearing them because $40 underwear should last a long time. It's only been two years. If they were $15 they'd get 5 stars.

These are awesome!! I wish I had bought more sooner, the back side of the boxer is pretty good at not having it ride up unlike other competitors who tend to wedgie a little more.

No matter your Pursuit, a solid pair of underwear can make or break your day in the mountains, and these bad boys deliver!
If you have not experienced Merino in the form of undergarments than you, my friend, (as well as your manly bits) are just missing out.
These amazing briefs are a blend of Merino with a touch of spandex to give them that next to skin feel. This also is what helps them keep their shape all day, and prevent the dreaded "ride up" that we have all experienced. the material is actually very lightweight and dries in really no time at all, so you can wear them for multiple days on trail without any of the stench that comes with synthetic underwear. (just don't tell your girlfriend) Oh and the waistband on these beauts is very nice as well.
If I had any"cons" it would be that they are a bit long in the leg, Which I guess is only an issue to guys like me that are 5'7" or under. Also, I have not seen the Galaxy print mentioned in Bills review, but it sounds super rad. I sure would love to see some variety in colorways for these guys. In summary: Buy 9 pairs and replace your old dirty undies, you will not be disappointed.

Stoic had an identical looking merino boxer in the past that I loved. I got a bunch of them and they were my go-to favorites for years. The one downside is that this material definitely wears out and starts to spring holes after lots of wears and washes. Well worth the trade off for the incredible comfort though in my opinion I still get a solid year+ of regular use out of each pair.

Anyway... I was down to only a few pairs recently and was so sad that Stoic didn't have any more for me to buy. I started trying other types of boxers and couldn't find anything I liked as much. Then these popped up, which are a re-make of the old style. Fit and materials are nearly identical and they are wonderful. If you haven't tried them I obviously would recommend it. They're a little expensive, but they are so comfortable and the merino material stays fresh much longer than pure cotton or poly boxers so they're great for camping, traveling, etc. And don't let the merino fool you, they aren't crazy warm I wear them all summer and winter.

Few months ago, it started with the low priced 'galaxy' print, I'll just try one....few weeks later I was back for more...4 pairs should be enough, I thought. I picked up 4 sets of these, as the ones that got me hooked are sold out. Nothing beats merino wool. Hope to see Stoic drop more like the 'galaxy' print again, my suggested next print would be black and grey tie-dye. Stoic's performance underwear design, patterns ect Way better than many other 'performance' brand underwear that I've tried over the years.
