Sizing ChartPatagonia Men's Active Brief
Keep it brief, you say? Full-cut for comfort, the highly breathable, featherweight Active Briefs keep you dry while providing a measure of support during cool-weather activities. The soft, quick-drying waistband won't chafe or snag on overlayers, and the nonrestrictive elasticized legs have rolled-out seams for next-to-skin softness. With a contoured fit and easy-access, functional fly. 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.

Bruce Bragg - 2008-09-29Excellent product
These undershorts are great for exercise, travel or everyday. Very nice fit and very easy to wash, dry and use again.
Anonymous - 2008-04-23very good but expensive
these are the very best briefs of this type I have tried. they are very expensive but they are definitely superior to anything else on the market. they fit very well.
weber - 2008-01-26excellent underwear
these underwear fit nice and tight and are therefore very supportive. They do an good job wicking and stopping odors too. I have a 34" waist and am 180 PBS and the mediums fit perfectly. I am planning to buy more pairs.

Anonymous - 2007-08-06very comfortable
very comfortable and well worth the money, based on past experience these briefs will last up to 10 years with constant washing and wearing.
B Johnson - 2007-06-15Great Fit
I compared these to the Capilene Sport Brief and felt the Active Brief gave me a better fit and support with no sacrifice in comfort. The elastic in the leg band kept them in place where the sport brief tended to ride up a little. I plan to use them for running as well as hiking. Bought 6 more pair.
bps - 2009-05-06Good, but . . .
I was looking for light, quick drying briefs for the warm weather and even under board shorts. These are that - light and quick drying, and they provide good support. The fit is a little on the small size of the size range.
The only improvement might be in the comfort of the fabric. I have under armour boxer jocks (I'd prefer the briefs but under armour doesn't make a brief) and the fabric is much softer and more comfortable.
Thomas Hruby - 2008-07-14It exceeded my expectations.
The product is exactly what I was looking for in an active under wear garment. It is comfortable, breathable, and well designed for active wear or warm weather ware.
Anonymous - 2007-07-10A nice choice if you have to wear underwear!
A mostly comfortable option that dries quickly, fit is good unless you have large legs as the leg holes are a little small. Sizing for waist is right on
Bonnie-Kay Marks - 2007-12-03A little too tight for my husband's build
The boxer style fits better than the Active Brief style. Both were the same size, but the longer cut was more comfortable.
