Description

If you want guaranteed comfort from the skin-out, start with the Patagonia Active Briefs for women. These polyester underwear have a touch of spandex for a body-hugging fit that wicks moisture, dries out quickly and feels soft and breathable during long rides in the car, long hikes on the trail and long runs on snow-drenched mountains. The recycled polyester content comes from used soda bottles, unusable fabric scraps and recycled garments – to keep your impact on the earth minimal. The flat elastic waistband won’t bind or roll, the single-sided binding at the leg openings won’t chafe and the min-rib crotch breathes for maximum comfort. Patagonia panties are built to last – through washings in camp to sink laundry in hotel rooms to third world laundry ladies, the Patagonia Women's Active Briefs will ride comfortably and always have your back… side.

Love Patagonia underwear
February 08, 2012

Great Undies EXCEPT . . .
November 09, 2011

Make sure you buy the striped colors. The plain black and tan ones are cut differently and are made of slightly different materials that are less comfortable. I had the same problem a few years ago when I purchased these undies. The flowered versions fit great, the solid colors were just a bit off.

Still a bit of a ride
June 28, 2011

These are really comfortable and mostly stay in place. The only downside is that these show lines and I was hoping for underwear that were a bit more invisible. Still, very comfortable and I keep wearing 'em.

Outstanding!

These briefs are terrific. They wear and wash like a dream. I used to run in cotton briefs, but never again now that I have these. I wish they were more readily available. While expensive, they are well worth the cost! Highly recommend!!

A Must Buy!

Perfect workout underwear
May 18, 2011

It may be a bit pricey but it's worth it- this underwear is the best. I have worn it for 5ks, 10 milers, and half marathons and now for marathon training. I wont run or race in anything else. It's comfortable, wicks, stays in place, doesn't chafe, doesn't ride up or bunch up, etc.

Great underwear
May 09, 2011

These fit really great and are extremely comfortable. I recommend that they be marketed as unisex. Other guys will enjoy wearing them too. Once I tried the first pair, I was sold and now have 10 pairs or more. They are light to pack and will dry quickly, when you need to wash them by hand.

Great fit. Don't ride up. Fabric is of a high quality. Seems to wick sweat while horseback riding. They seem to run a tad bit large. I will possibly order a size smaller next time.

Best Underwear Ever!
March 23, 2011

Yes, they are a little pricey, but they are worth every penny and more. No more sweaty, soggy panties, especially during the long, hot AZ summer. No more tugging and adjusting back into place whether I'm wearing workout clothes or dressed for the office. I originally bought 2 pair for running/hiking/kayaking but had to order more because I just can't stand to wear anything else. I'm 5'5" and about 135, normally wear an 8 in most pants, and the size medium fits perfectly.

Pros: Great design, Performance, stays in place, wicking

Uber Comfort
November 15, 2010

Thes are the most comfortable underwear I've ever worn. I bought the first pair for their wicking ability, primarily to wear for serious hiking, but started wearing them as often as they were clean because of their extreme comfort. Then I got pregnant, and they became the only underwear I wanted to wear. I have since purchased four more pairs. The lack of seams and soft stretchy fabric make them incomparable to standard panties. They might be pricey, but are so worth it.

Nice fit

I really like these panties. They fit nicely & don't ride-up, they won't shrink upon washing. A little pricey for panties, but worth the extra money.

Great underwear!
November 09, 2010

I needed underwear for working out that wouldn't ride up. The rise is perfect, and they really are moisture wicking. They are amazing! They are probably great for traveling as well!

You are a Goddess
November 06, 2010

On the inside of this underwear reads,"You are a Goddess." The first time I noticed it was in the restroom at the Emergency Room after I got hit on my bicycle by a distracted motorist. It made my day! In addition to comforting me, this underwear did a nice job of wicking in the AM commute to work and withstanding some wear and tear from rubbing up on concrete. They're not quite as comfy as the Patagonias but they are cheaper. They are a bit narrower in the hips than the Patagonia as well. I'd recommend.

Pros: Great design, Ease of use, Great value

Dries very quickly, never rides up. It's perfect for active sports from running to hiking to snowboarding. I have 2 from 10 years ago, and they have yet to wear out.

Like these - I bought another
September 24, 2010

I bought them at first because I wanted wicking briefs and was interested in the color. The comfort is great and they fit just right. The wicking properties are also good. I bought another later. A bit pricey but I decided they are worth it.

I was unsure about purchasing these undies due to the price. But after wearing these ATVing they are the most excellent pair I've ever owned. No wedgies or wetness from sweat.

Previous reviewer wrong - these run true to size!!!
July 23, 2010

I read the review stating that these run big. I wish I had ignored this review. These run true to size. Now I have to pay for return shipping and wait another week to have briefs that fit. If you are considering these, buy your correct size. They do feel nice and soft however and I am looking forward to receiving the correct size to work out in.

JCS

felt great, however they fell apart after one washing
July 15, 2010

love these. they are very comfortable and do not ride up. The problem was after one wearing and one washing the inside began to fray. On the positive side, Altrec was great. I called and had no trouble with a return and refund. I will purchase another pair since I have never had this problem before. I assume this was a one time abnormality with the material.

Never looking back!
May 12, 2010

For years I was a big fan of the Victoria's Secret cotton bikini. Then the style changed, and they started riding up. My search for the perfect undies began. It has ended with the Patagonia Active Brief. These are best undies out there. You won't regret the money spent on these.

best undies
April 29, 2010

I love these active briefs. They are so comfy, fit well, wash nicely, dry fast and come in cute colors and prints. I've been wearing these for awhile and always buy the new colors when they come out.

Erin Wilding-Martin

Very Comfy
April 26, 2010

These are great for running in, very comfy and they wick sweat very well. I do prefer the solids to the stripes--the stripes are made of a different fabric that doesn't stay put quite as well.

Ziva Patt-Rappaport

comfortable but a bit big
April 23, 2010

Love the material and shape, but they run big. The small feels more like a medium or a large. I am considering getting the extra small. Although, the black ones I bought only a few weeks ago, also size small,fit much better. Can't see any reason why, the both are called Women's Active Briefs size small.

Josie

Fantastic Briefs
April 08, 2010

These are the best briefs ever. I am extremely impressed at how they stay in place after several washings.
