Sizing ChartPatagonia 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 Performance®Capilene 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.

great brief ..
Bill Sellers - 2009-10-28Excellent 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.
Joanne - 2009-10-26Best 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.

Eric - 2009-09-28Great
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.
Anonymous - 2009-08-11comfortable and great for travel
I've been wearing these briefs for a couple of years. They are very soft and comfortable and perfect for traveling; extremely lightweight and dry really fast. They do stretch a little during wear but I find it even more comfortable
Rich Kaplan - 2009-08-07Light, dry and comfortable.
I was looking for hiking and paddling underwear that would be comfortable and dry quickly - from external moisture. These have been excellent. I have worn them on a multi-day paddling and portaging trip into the Boundary Waters and they exceeded expectations. I have been unable to find a negative. I can't speak to durability yet.
anonymous - 2009-08-04Good to go
These are great briefs but more so for casual wear and light activities. No pilling and very comfortable. If I were going jogging, I'd choose Patagonia Men's Active Sport Boxer Brief as they have more support. I'm purchasing more of both.
Anonymous - 2009-05-19Loved them
My guys love these boxers! They're always asking for more especially in summer months.
Anonymous - 2009-05-19Great for summer
I bought these for all the guys in my family and they love them for skiing, mountain biking and hiking. They're all asking for more.
Anonymous - 2009-02-17Super comfortable
These are the best underwear out there. They are super comfortable, the fit is excellent, and they hold up very well. Expensive for sure, but well worth the price.
Anonymous - 2008-07-20The best underwear...period.
I've tried underwear from Ex Officio, Terramar, REI, and a few others, and NONE compare to these - lightweight and packable, super wicking ability keeps you dry and odor to a minimum, and they don't bunch up.
Anonymous - 2008-07-05The essence of comfort.
I have to say, I was somewhat doubtful of all these glowing reviews of a basic pair of briefs. When they arrived in the mail I noted that the fabric closely resembled the Capilene 2 fabric but they didn't really seem to be "all that." Then I went for a 6-mile hike in 90 degree weather during a 3-day camping trip. Wow. The comfort is second-to-none. I had previously been very happy with an older pair of Patagonia boxers that are similar to the Capilene 1, and also with a couple pair of Under Armor briefs. I still like the others, but these Active Boxer Briefs are now my favorite in terms of overall comfort, moisture management, and odor control. I wish they were less expensive, but I'll probably be buying a couple more pair anyway.
Carl Clayton - 2008-04-03OMG so comfortable
The Patagonia Active Boxer Briefs are absolutely The Best, so light and dare I say.....Sexy, yes my wife loves them too:-0 Great in the Las Vegas heat and so easy to dry, they do not ride up and no chaffing in the nether regions if you know what I mean? The price is a little on the higher side compared to other makes out there, but for what you get they are well worth it. I loved them so much I have thrown out my Calvin Kleins and replaced them with these undies.

Carl Clayton - 2008-03-25Bye Bye CK's
After being a Calvin Klein boxer guy for years and years, I have to say that these beat the CK's hands down, super comfortable. Although expensive (albeit the same price as the CK's) These are without doubt the best feeling and most comfortable underwear I have ever owned.
Nick F. - 2008-02-22Best Boxers Ever
That pretty much says it all. Never thought $26 for boxers could be reasonable, but these are worth it!
ben weber - 2008-01-27Top Drawers
These are fantastic underwear, and they are overpriced. But I have no regrets, The mediums fit me perfectly, at 34' and 180lbs.
Doug - 2008-01-26Excellent, comfortable underwear
Cotton no more. I have been wearing Patagonia boxer briefs for about 4 years now. I live in the Arizona desert and have found these briefs to handle the extreme heat of summer or perspiration from playing sports very well. Very comfortable and they wick away heat and perspiration. I wear them exclusively and they hold up very well. The Calvin Klein's are history.
Danny - 2008-01-21Comfortable all around!
Perfect for any occasion, you don't have to be active to wear these, but they are the most comfortable boxers I have ever worn while playing sports. Well worth the money!
alex - 2007-10-04Especially great for a trip
Writing this review from a trip across Europe I got those shorts for. They proved to be an excellent item for any traveler. Very comfortable and what is equally important is that they dry very fast, at least twice as fast as any other pair I got with me and I chose 3 different combinations of cotton/synthetics. They are true to size. Bottom line: EXCELLENT ITEM.
Tom - 2007-09-15The BEST!
Most comfortable boxer briefs EVER. Worth the price!
Jan - 2007-08-12No more cotton for my boys!
Patagonia active boxer briefs are a FAVORITE in our house! They are soft, quick drying and comfortable. Great for sports (breathable) and perfect for travel. Pricey but well worth the cost.
Robert Hurt - 2007-06-20Works great in hot weather!
I own a refrigeration business. During the summer when business is booming, I constantly change my clothes to stay dry. I previously wore cotton briefs, but after purchasing the Patagonia Active Boxer Briefs, I have been able to stay dry......they work great!
jeff - 2006-12-14Best Boxers Ever!
Perfect fit and performance in an active boxer. Leave the cotton behind. These wick really well. They are certainly worth the cost as the quality of Patagonia products and these Boxers will last lifetimes on the trail. I wear mine while snowboarding, hiking, climbing, biking etc. If you are treating yourself to a pair of these don't forget the ladies with a pair of capilene hipster briefs of the regular womens capilene briefs. Treat yourself right!
Eric Wong - 2006-11-05Real comfortable
Real good, fit, feel, comfort excellent like all Patagonia products I have purchased in the past and will in the future.
Anonymous - 2009-04-05Perfect boxer/brief
At first these seem see-through, but when put on they are fine. Light-weight, supportive, cool, keeps me dry, everything you would want out of a performance boxer/brief. The high price is the only thing that kept them from a 5-star rating.
DGK - 2007-01-13Comfortable, anticipate excellent drying.
As someone who has worn standard white cotton briefs for as long as he can remember, switching over to polyester underpants was the very last step in my transformation to backpacking light. In the interest of wearing fast-drying underpants that could also double as ad hoc swim shorts, I began trying various brands of dark colored polyester underpants. I'm certain I'm not alone in the belief that there's no article of clothing more difficult to fit than a pair of underpants. Most men probably find a comfortable brand and then stick with it given the difficulty or should I say the impossibility of "trying on" underpants. Last summer, I bought some Patagonia briefs but found them too tight. Last month, I purchased three styles for comparison: Patagonia Active Boxer Brief, Patagonia Active Sport Boxer Brief, and Mountain Hardware eXtend Featherweight Boxer. The first I bound perfect and almost as comfortable as my standard cotton briefs; the second, I found nice and stretchy but too constricting; the third, which I had hoped would be my favorite (because I've long loved the tops of the same material, I found comfortable except for the waist band which oddly was too loose, leading to an unpleasant sense of slippage). My new standard, then, will be the Patagonia Active Boxer Brief.
Anonymous - 2006-09-19A nice option, though a little expensive.
I love the material, which is very versatile for activities during the day or going out at night. The pocket could be a little more defined and the price isa little high, but overall I highly recommend over other like brands I have tried.
Anonymous - 2009-06-02Nice product, but expensive for performance
This patagonia baselayer fits well, breathes well, and looks stylish. I am generally a fan of patagonia's craftmanship, and they've put together a solid piece here.
However, the main drawback is that the Capilene material does retain odors fairly quickly. If you are looking for a pair of underwear to take for a long, strenuous backpacking trip, or any trip where you're away from laundry, then I would highly suggest the Ex Officio boxer briefs instead. They basically cost the same, also look good, but maintain their "freshness" for a much longer period.
