Patagonia Men's Active Boxer Brief
Full-cut for comfort, our breathable and insulative boxer briefs hold you in good stead whether you're white-water kayaking, tying flies streamside or yo-yo lapping out-of-bounds. An exposed waistband helps streamline the fit; the nonbinding, coverstitched hem and rolled-forward leg seams ensure chafe-free mobility. With a 5 1/2" inseam (size M) and easy-access fly. Made from recycled polyester fiber. Made in USA. Common Threads Recycling ProgramResearch shows that the environmental impact of recycling worn-out Capilene base layers into new polyester fiber is significantly lower than making that same fiber from virgin materials. Taking into account that worn-out garments are diverted from trash incinerators, making new polyester fiber from recycled garments results in an energy savings of 76% and a CO2 emissions [greenhouse gasses] reduction of 71%, versus creating that fiber from new raw material. Capilene Core PerformanceCapilene base layers afford quick-drying, next-to-skin moisture management for all activities in all conditions ? from high-altitude bivies to sun-soaked water sports.

Excellent for hiking/exercising/walking long distance
I purchased this underwear to prevent chaffing of my thighs when hiking/power walking/exercising. Tried several other brands, but appear to be the best. Just hiked 20 miles in two days with little problem. The shorts stay tight and high in the inside crouch so that even the uppermost parts of my inner thighs do not make contact. Also, have no distinguishable odor after two and half days of 24-hour wear. May start using these as regular (but expensive) underwear.

Best for travel and sports
I purchased this for my son, who is very active...He has traveled to patagonia, Chile and took these active boxer briefs with him. Light weight and dries fast. He is also a personal trainer and wears them in the gym. Great brief, well worth the price, last a long time.

Great
Nice material. Quick drying. No pilling after approx. five washes. Very comfortable - but minimal support. Legs are not as long (on me) as shown in photo.
