Patagonia Women's Active Brief

Rebekah Stetson - 2009-07-01

Comfy, Seamless
These are the most comfortable panties I have ever worn (look great too;-). Also, no-show no matter what you're wearing due to the seamless construction. Even though you are told to size up one size, I personally found that these fit true to size. I am an XS, and the S isn't snug enough and "slides" a bit.

Full coverage
These undies have very full coverage and come up to a comfortable height. They have a nice thick waistband, soft seams, and best of all, they are made by the extremely ethical Patagonia so you can feel good about your purchase!

Throwing away all of my other underwear
This is the best underwear I have ever found, and I am pretty picky about this particular garment category. They are sexy, comfortable, and NEVER ride up or show lines through my dress pants. My husband loves them, too.

Great Fit & Comfortable!
I bought 3 pair to try and I love them. I was able to buy a size smaller than I normally wear and they fit great. They are very comfortable to work out in, wick moisture, and they stay where they belong. I will be buying more.

Excellent Product!
Finally ordered the patagonia women's active briefs after they went on sale. Had no regrets at all. They're moisture-wicking and do not budge, therefore no wedgies! Had to size up to a medium to avoid binding, but true to what the product description says, I probably needn't have worried even if I had a small. The medium fits just fine, though. Even the waistband stays flat (no rolling). Would probably get them even if not on sale.

Best undies ever!
I thought these were expensive so I only bought one pair to try them out and ended up buying two more. Wish I had a whole wardrobe full of these. In fact, I am wearing them today at work under a business suit. These are great to travel with, wash in the sink, roll in a towel, and hang overnight and they are dry by morning. Great when packing light for sure!

These are the most comfortable pair of underwear ever. Excellent for those who have active lifestyles as they wick and do not ride up. An extra plus is that they do not have a tight elastic to cinch you in. I would definately recommend them to anyone.

These are very comfortable for female athletes. They are light and provide great coverage so they don't ride up while you're snowboarding (or whatever sport you're involved in!) I highly recommend these to anyone considering this type of purchase!

extremely comfy undies!
the fabric and cut of these briefs are excellent. I read some reviews before I purchased (cos after all, they are a bit expensive) and lots of people said they didn't ride up - and they really don't! I also bought the hipster style but I find these ones are just a little better fitting over the bum area. They wash beautifully and dry quickly. I love them and am off to buy more!

expensive but worth it !
If you're like me you watch your $$$ carefully, and hold dear what is nearest to you. These are worth every penny! I save up for what I can afford, wish I had all the latest patterns. My fav is Wispy Garden Pale Blossom...they are true to size and the patterns are so cute!

They work when you do
This is the most comfortable underwear I've owned for hiking and outdoor sports. The wicking is excellent and they don't pull or rub. I've road tested them in weekly hikes and am taking them to Bhutan this fall for a long Trek. A good investment in critical apparel.

Pricey, but worth it!

Great underwear for working out or just going out
These are a great underlayer for any activity. They do not show through clothes, wick away moisture, and fit perfectly. I usually wear a 5 or 6, and the small fit me perfectly, although I think the medium would have worked too. Although pricey, you receive quality that matches the cost.

Best underwear ever!
These are more expensive than your run-of-the-mill dept store undies, but they are worth the investment. They last forever, and they are quite possibly the most comfortable, practical underwear ever made! The design changed a bit recently, but I like the new ones even better.

Best thing since chocolate
I LOVE these underwear. They are SUPER comfortable for my "cherub bum" as my husband calls it. Love the designs, the feel, everything about them. I treat myself to buying a few extra pairs every year. It is a tossup which is better in life...chocolate or patagonia underwear.

You gotta love these panties!!
I have found these panties to be exceptionally comfortable and ride up free. If I wanted to wear panties that crept and gave me wedgies I'd wear a thong :) I have worn these panties backpacking and found them to be not only comfortable with fit, but they wick moisture and dry quickly when washed out! A bit pricey for panties, AND if they last as well as they fit, it will be worth every penny :)

Betther than anything else
I just bought these and tried them on for the first time today. They are sOOOOO comfortable, its unbelievable! I read the good reviews and was inspired to try them but I didn't think they would be so good. I am 5.2 and usually wear XS or size 2. I bought size S for these, and they fit perfectly. I wore it on my winter run today and they kept me dry and comfortable. I didn't even notice what I was wearing - all underwear should be made like this. I used to wear expensive lacy underwear but now, I'm switching to capilene patagonia line for my undies! I fully recommend this - they're expensive but they're really worth it if you get them on sale like I did. The only thing is the seams are alittle thick and would probably show if you're wearing skin-tight pants or dress.

The best moisture-wicking underwear!
I have looked high and low for comfortable moisture-wicking underwear that were comfortable and could hold up to daily use. I wanted something that I would be comfortable doing anything from gardening in the hot, humid NC summers to running 6 miles to just daily use. These cost a bit more, but are worth every cent.

I love these underwear!
About a year ago I switched from Victoria's Secret cotton bikinis to these and am so glad I did. These last forever and fit so much better. I haven't had to resort to a thong since due to their great smooth fit that results in no panty lines. I strongly recommend giving them a shot.

Great for workouts or everyday wear
These briefs are the perfect fit and do not ride up during a strenuous run or workout. The fabric wicks moisture away from the skin so you never feel chilled or sweaty. I purchased a size larger than my usual as I prefer a roomy fit. They don't lose their shape even after repeated washing. These briefs are worth the price!

Perfect! A Must Have!
At first, I was skeptical because I've never bought underwear online before and I like to feel and touch before I buy. But these...I figured I'll try and buy it online, if I don't like them, I've learned my lesson. I sure learned my lesson alright. When I opened my shipment from Altrec.com, the Patagonia Capilene Brief undies were soft to the touch, had a nice stretch to them and were perfect when I tried them on. I'm very particular about undies because I hate the feeling of them riding up. And these Capilene Briefs stayed put. I just love them and plan on buying more.

Great undies!!!
I love my patagonias but how cute is it to see a guy reviewing these! I'll bet he's just adorable in his little flowered panties. I bought the prints and a few solids too and these are still my favorite underwear. If you want panties that stay right where you want, never sagging down or bunching up, don't look any further. I know I'm a little more curvy then Robert, at least I hope so, so the stretch is great for covering my backyard. I'll be a patagonia fan as long as they make them! They must be good if boys like them too!
