ExOfficio Men's Give-n-go Boxer Brief

I bought 6 pair in August of 2017. They are the only boxers I have and all 6 pair get worn in steady rotation. None have any tears or rips and 80% of my work is outside. The worst issue is slightly stretched waistbands after all these years. That's it.Would highly recommend!

$26 for a pair of underwear? Yup. And worth every penny. This coming from a guy who has spent most of his life buying a 12 pack of Hanes and complaining about the cost... While I may never take them up on the "2 pairs are all you need" boast, they fit great, keep you dry and comfy, and the material feels and wears good, unlike other "slippery" materials I have tried. Have five pairs now, will buy more. Even if I only need 2...

So, ExOfficio has a problem. It's a real problem. I have bought far too many of this underwear to think my experience with ExOffocio’s Give-N-Go boxer brief is unique to me. I have been wearing the Give-N-Go since 2007-ish and the problem still exists. Before we get any deeper into this, I LOVE these underwear. I just want consistency. I deserve consistency.The problem that ExOfficio has is that each color of these things has their own unique fit and feel. It's enough of an issue that I am writing about it after buying maybe 4-5 dozen of these, of various colors, over the last decade +.For those coming from cotton underwear, these are a game changer. No more leaving the gym with heavy, sweat soaked calvin kleins. No more hot summer hikes where, at the completion of your journey, your sweaty undies are 4 sizes bigger than when you started. That's all done. After trying these out, you will never go back- never. They are that good. They last forever. They air dry in ridiculously fast (if you roll them in a towel to squeeze the water out 1st) and they look great.If you are a repeat customer of the brand, and you have tried different colors of these things, you have to be shaking your head like I am. Where is the consistency?Long ago I decided that black was the color for me. I preferred them to the light grey ones because they stayed noticeably tighter after a gym workout than their grey counterparts. The old royal blue ones were for hockey because they were over an inch longer in the thigh than either the black of the grey and had a very different feel/fit. YET THESE WERE ALL THE SAME SIZE!!!! Why the variation though?Fast forward to last week when I realized it's time for another dozen or so new pairs. I figured I would check Amazon, mainly to compare prices. In my haste, I mistakenly ordered the curfew (which is navy blue). On the website, they looked black so I pulled the trigger on 2 pairs. As an aside, Why the eff can't they just call them NAVY? Only the marketing geniuses @ OSG really know (or don't). That sort of nomenclature tomfoolery is tantamount to idiot parents who name their kid Mike, but they spell it as "Mi7ke" - with the 7 being silent. It's a total hardo move (says the guy with a user name of d0c <---- but that's only a screen name and the it's pretty clear @ that). Ok, back to the new navy ones - I didn't even know they were navy until I ordered 10 more pairs of black a few days later. No I can see the difference. Sadly, I can FEEL the difference too.The curfew fabric feels WAY better to me than the black. The fabric is smoother on the skin. This is undeniable. The criss-cross cut on the black is much more palpable than its curfew counterpart. Black is less silky to the touch.They wear differently as well. Same size on the label though. The navy ones are comfortably snug through the thigh and a bit looser in the crotch, whereas the black are tighter in the thigh and crotch. To me, the fit of the curfew is what a boxer brief should be; they stay in place on the thigh to keep my thighs from rubbing, yet they offer more swing room in the crotch, allowing my male anatomy to not be pressed against my body.Luckily I only opened one pair of the black, so 9 will be returned and replaced with navy/curfew. But the difference is HUGE HUGE HUGE, and I don't understand why. If Budweiser can make (in my opinion crappy, but consistent) beer that tastes EXACTLY the same in different parts of the country, using ridiculously different water supplies, shouldn’t we be at a point where underwear of different color would feel and wear the same? Consistency is the key here, or @ least it should be.Now, the Amazon pricing ... I feel like I need to check this like a day trader, because the price per pair on these has varied by over $5 (in the wrong direction) over the last week. I would like to replace the black with cur7few (see what I did there?), but @ the current prices, I could go brick and mortar and break even. Ughhh.

It probably sounds gross if you've never bought these, but you can easily wear them for 2-3 days in a row if you aren't doing anything too strenuous in them. Even then, they don't develop an odor and I've never seen them stain after years of use. Quite comfortable. If they do get sweaty or wet you can just take them off for a minute or two and air them out and it's like it never happened. They maintain their shape and elasticity very well over time. The only thing is the waistband starts to get a little crinkled, but it doesn't affect the fit.

Super light, don't trap moisture, and seem to be sturdy.I've switched to wearing these almost exclusively over the last year, use them for long bike rides all the time, and have yet to notice any major wear. Very happy with them.I think the waist band gets just a tad too tight after first washing, so I've started ordering a size larger.

These boxer briefs are great. They're a little looser than what I'm used to, but that's not really an issue. They're very breathable and the material is very light and sturdy. I highly recommend these. I can't really commend on their durability, but I can say that after about 10 washes they're still like new.

Pros: Front fly, comfortable, solid color, good fit / feelCons: A little expensive, significant pilling of fabric, tags need to be removed, a looser fit than I like (but not enough to ride up)Similar Products Rated: 5 - Columbia, 4 - Rocky, 3 - Under Armour, 3 - Ex OficioNotes: Despite the rating of three, these are a nice product. If I hadn't done a one-on-one comparison with the other listed brands, my rating would have been higher.Background:Recently, I started walking a lot and experienced some chafing. I set out to find some help with this problem. My goal was to find something I could wear every day, not just on workout days. I compared four different brands: Columbia, Rocky, Under Armour, and Ex Oficio.I had some pre-requisites. I required a front fly. Surprisingly, this really limited the field. I required normal colors...no neon, prints, or glaring logos. I made a slight exception for Rocky on the logo.Honestly, it was a close call and very subjective, but Columbia came out on top for me. Rocky was the best value. If limited to workouts, and not every day, Under Armour is probably best.Overall comparative ratings were: Columbia 5, Rocky 4, Under Armour 3, and Ex Oficio 3.

e' un boxer eccellente come qualita e vestibilita peccato che ne abbia ordinato due paia in gennaio e a marzo inoltrato ne abbia ricevuto solo uno

other reviewers said they fit small so we bought one size up. They are huge!! Shipping was expensive especially when added to the cost of the product itself and then to have them shipped back...so not worth the price. Never buy again unless there is free shipping back.
