Brief comparision of high end underwear
Over the last year, tired of having to buy boxer briefs every 4 months or so as they wore out, I decided to try some high end boxer briefs. There are three.
1. Exofficio Give-and-Go Boxer Brief
After almost a year, these show very little sign of wear and have kept their form. These work well for everyday wear and for mild to strenuous activity. They do not retain stink like other synthetics. They can also be washed in a sink with soap and water and dried overnight, making them idea for lightweight travel. At ~$25 a pair, less if you find them on sale, these are expensive, but their durability and utility are worth it. This is the highest rated boxer brief on Amazon and Backcountry as well. I often wear these to train instead of compression shorts now. These chafe very infrequently.
2. Stoic Merino Boxer Brief.
As far as comfort, these might be the ultimate for me. They are long legged and won't ride. I've worn these for 4 months now, after picked them up on Steep And Cheap for about 70% off and I wish I would have grabbed 2-3 more pair. Retailing at !$45 a pair, I'm almost tempted to get a few more, they are that good. Warm, made out of merino wool, they are soft, wick well, dry quickly, and suppress funk. Not as good a training underwear as the ExO, but these are great for hiking and being active all day. I have never had these chafe me.
3. Underarmor Boxer Brief
As far as availability and price, these are the cheapest, you can usually find them for $19.99. These are great to train in but tend to chafe when you wear them as daily underwear. They are tighter and more like a compression short than the other two. A distinct third on the list, and I'll wear regular Fruit of the Loom boxer briefs over these as a daily wear.

Re: Brief comparision of high end underwear
I have been wanting to pick up these for travel but need to order online which is always dicey. What size did you buy? I can probably find your waist size mentioned in several other threads here.Shafpocalypse Now wrote: 1. Exofficio Give-and-Go Boxer Brief

Re: Brief comparision of high end underwear
What's the longest you can wear any of these garments before they absolutely must be washed?
that is a key selling point for me

The high tech stuff can be worn in the shower or stream and washed while worn, and they will dry right on you while you bask like an Elephant Seal on a warm rock. An empirical fact.protobuilder wrote:What's the longest you can wear any of these garments before they absolutely must be washed?

Re: Brief comparision of high end underwear
I have a pair of boxers from MEC that are going on 17 years old. The don't make them any more, obviously, since they never need to be replaced.

No robots Turdy, sorry.

We don't like elephant seals or sea lions. Fat bastards think my submarines are big warm lounge platforms just for them. Removal is an interesting event though.
