Icebreaker Men's Brief

A wool convert
April 30, 2012

I recently switched to wool products about a month and a half ago, and I'm impressed so far with Icebreaker and its products. The feel of the fabric is fantastic. Very comfortable and light. I was looking for something breathable and moisture wicking, lighter than cotton, but doesn't stink like polyester. The briefs do all of the above! I find that the Men's Brief is cut very slightly larger than the Anatomica brief, so I prefer the briefs. It should be noted that both style of briefs are cut fairly small, so if you're modest about yourself, be forewarned. I use the briefs for running, and feel well supported. And as for odor resistance, I couldn't be happier. There is no comparison between polyester and wool. If odor is a concern for you, I highly recommend you switch to wool. You, and the people around you, will be grateful. I am interested in seeing how durable the briefs are. So far so good, but as with the higher cost of wool, I hope they are as long lasting as they are comfortable. For your reference, I am 6 foot, 180 pounds with an athletic build. I wear mediums, and they are snug all around, but not too small for my preference.

Have used this brand for past couple years--great product and fits very well. Ultra quick-drying. Only criticism (minor) is that I wish they lasted a bit before getting small holes near waistband.
