I have been using this style boxer brief for several years. I still have and use the first pair I purchased. They are comfortable and have endured many, many wash and dry cycles. I am very impressed! You will not be disappointed
I bought several pairs for my husband when he deployed to Iraq for 15 months. Now that he's back, he won't wear anything else! Extremely breathable, lightweight and comfortable even in high stress/extreme conditions.
If washing by hand they are perfect because they dry so quickly - in fact, I would recommend NOT putting them through the dryer in order to get the longest wear out of the elastic band.
They also pack down tight and small - great for travel!
