Woolly Clothing Co mens Boxer Brief Underwear

The price of these underwear is just too high to only get two uses out of them before they start to run and have holes in them. I have merino underwear by other companies that I have not had problems with. One company Ortovox I have even had for more than 5 years through backpacking expeditions and heavy work and they are still without any blemish. Sorry, not able to support woolly.

These feel the best out of all the merino boxer briefs I own (icebreaker, smartwool, patagonia) and they don't ride up like some of the others. The reason for the 3 stars is because after about 10 uses the fabric is starting to fall apart. There are parts near the bottom of the leg area that is getting really thin in appearance and I already have a hold near a seam. Maybe I just purchased a lemon but I'd expect $30 underwear to last more than 2 months before falling apart.

This underwear is a game changer if you live in a hot and/or humid area like I do. After trying out a pair I threw out all my old cotton boxer-briefs and replaced my entire underwear drawer with Woollys. They are antimicrobial and there's a huge difference between these and typical underwear that will give you the dreaded swampballs.HOWEVER, like others have mentioned the durability of these boxer-briefs really is not up to par. I have several of these that have small holes and a few that haven't fulled ripped (but are very close to ripping along the buttcrack seam).Even with the durability drawbacks, I still think these boxer-briefs are a must have item.

Overall its pretty good. Theres just barely enough room in the crotch. Which is more than I can say for the minus 33 (but still the best I've tried)The fabric doesn't seem too durable as its already started to pill after a couple light uses..however the meriwool didn't pill at all and wore a hole somehow in the crotch after maybe a dozen uses.They are pretty comfy. I wishbit had a wrapped waistband. The legs aren't too tight and do ride up a bit but they fall back down easy too.the cut is a little wonky, little bit of extra fabric poofing over the top of my butt crack. But they do fit my large butt nicely. And don't fight between pulling up the underwear and pulling the crotch down.I would still buy the minus 33. I have yet to try smartwool icebreaker, canis (which im excited about) and plenty others.

I was looking for travel apparel, especially things made of merino wool for comfort, quick drying and resistance to odor when forced to stretch out time between laundering. I recently bought both a pair of the Woolly Clothing Co. Men's Merino Wool Boxer Briefs and a pair of comparable Icebreaker Men's Anatomica Boxers with Fly (merino wool). Both black and both size XL. Both were priced within a dollar of each other.Judging by feel and observation, both briefs appear to use the same or comparable fabrics, very light and comfortable to the touch. They pack down small.The Woolly Clothing Co. (WCC) briefs look to be sturdily constructed. A close examination of the seams shows a roughness in finishing where the fabric is sometimes roughly cut or where numerous loose thread ends are left untrimmed. This is cosmetic. All seams are strongly sown and well fitted. I consistently wear a size XL for undergarments. The WCC product has a tight (comfortable) waist, but the briefs are loose in fit. Some may prefer this. I don't and the model picture implies that the fit is a tight one.The Icebreaker briefs had a better cosmetic appearance when examined closely - the finish is better. The construction is good. The fit is good at the waist (I'm a 39") and the body of the briefs fit more snugly, my personal preference.The Woolly Clothing Co. briefs are good and get the job done. I recently made a seven mile hike in hill country wearing the WCC briefs and didn't give them a though - my highest praise for wear-ability. They appear to be durable, though this is a new purchase with no previous experience with this product or manufacturer. But for the same price, the Icebreaker briefs have a better cosmetic appearance and fit tighter. I have no long term experience with Icebreaker products either so time will tell.I gave the WCC briefs a three star for fit and finish. I would give the Icebreaker Anatomica briefs a four star rating pending use experience.For the record, I have no commercial interest in either company. I am a hiker and sometimes traveler always looking for an edge in clothing to make these activities more pleasant.
