These are my favorite pair of underwear right now. They fit perfectly and they look great too. They fit true to size.

These do not ride up and are incredible comfortable and look great on....

These are great! I wish I would have spent the money on them sooner because they are amazing. They run a little small so I would recommend going a size up from what you normally wear.

Jill Fiore - 2009-05-06Love them! These underwear are the best!
These are the best fitting and looking underwear I've ever had. I love them and recommend them to anyone looking for that combination of good fit and comfort.
gina - 2009-04-23No panty lines and no riding up!
I can't stop buying these. My first couple pairs were a gift, and now I won't wear any other underwear. They don't ride up and there are never any panty lines. Plus they manage to look sporty and sexy at the same time as well.
Anonymous - 2009-04-23best ever
These are great for hiking/walking or just everyday. Comfy, never ride up and no panty lines. Lightweight to travel with and dry in a flash. If you want a looser fit, go a size up.
Anonymous - 2009-02-09my favorite undies
i received my first pair as a gift and absolutely fell in love. now i own close to a dozen pairs. i can't help but compare all other undies to these now. they are super comfortable, don't bunch, and don't leave lines.
Anonymous - 2009-01-09Super comfy
These hipsters are so comfortable and light. No panty lines. Dry in a flash. I wear them all day skiing and never feel a creep or bulge.
Marie Woodman - 2008-07-15Great fit and very comfortable
These are great worn under regular shorts when I walk at the mall or outside. There is no chafing and the waistband stays in place.
Anonymous - 2008-06-12Great fit and comfort
These fit so well and are so comfortable that I own a dozen pairs now.
Anonymous - 2008-05-19These totally ROCK!
Yes, they're expensive. I bought just one at first, then liked that pair so much I bought an entire stock of them (enough for at least a week or more). The colors and designs are really cute, they breathe really well, and the're COMFORTABLE and don't ride up. Love Them!
Jaime - 2008-04-08great material and comfort
i'd agree with everyone here...they're worth the money. very comfortable - material super soft and don't ride up. i like the cut, low enough to hide but not showing too much. only problem, i, like someone else wrote, do not have a very firm rear (working on it) so there are VPL if to wear a yoga pant. definitely size up like everyone writes. you won't be disappointed.
Anonymous - 2008-03-31Perfectly comfortable
These briefs are expensive but they are worth it. They fit well, stay put and dry quickly. Very good for workouts and in hot weather. Fun colors too.
Anonymous - 2008-01-15Simply the best!
They are my guilty pleasure. I originally bought a couple of pairs for traveling but I now have maybe 7 or 8. For comfort, they can't be beat. They wick moisture and will wash and dry in hours - great when your laundry room is a pack bucket or a hotel sink!
Candace - 2007-11-21great underwear
They don't ride up, they are comfortable and easy to care for. Great for everyday use, especially with jeans!
Anonymous - 2007-10-28awesome
I've bought about 10 pairs of these now...they are VERY comfortable for everything - hiking, backpacking, running, soccer, and just everyday use.
Anonymous - 2007-08-13totally worth the $$
These are the best full coverage briefs I have ever worn! They didn't ride up, and they wicked the moisture wonderfully on a 95degree day hike. I am a size 8-10 with a nice fanny, and the large fit perfectly.
Carol - 2007-08-07I love these underwear!
I have spent a small fortune buying expensive brands that claim they 'don't show' and/or they don't 'ride up' These are great! They are the most comfortable underwear I have ever owned!.I can't even tell I have anything on! I did order the next size up. Glad I did . They fit perfectly! They were worth every penny!
Sheila - 2007-07-29Great For Running
I have had a really hard time finding underwear that didn't ride up when running. I really tried all the popular athletic brands and this pair is by far the best! I can tell you I don't even feel them. I wear a size 4 or 6 and the medium fit perfect. These wouldn't be good for someone with large thighs because the leg openings are small, the sides are wide and the crotch area is a little large, leaving a smaller leg opening. I would suggest the regular briefs in that case.
Julie - 2007-07-24Love the Fit.
I ordered a pair and they didn't have a swatch for me to see. when they arrived I tried them on. Superb fit. They sit below the belly button for low cut pants, great for hiking and the service was fast.
Anonymous - 2007-07-15Great! Dry very quickly.
Comfortable, they stay put.
Anonymous - 2007-07-10Great!
Excellent wear! They look fine with different pants
Anonymous - 2007-03-12Nothing else can compare
These are hands down, the most comfortable underwear I've ever had. The wide waist band keeps them on the hips, no riding up when I'm in the gym or riding down with my jeans. Simply amazing, they make it hard to wear any other brand!
christy - 2007-02-24Great underwear
I have always been hesitant to order these underwear because of the price, I decided to go ahead and get some and I'm so glad I did! They are by far the best most comfortable underwear I have ever owned! I wear a 6 and I ordered a M, very, very nice!
Angela - 2007-02-10amazing! cute, comfy and well made.
these are absoulutely the best pair of underwear that i have ever owned. cute low rise, moisture wicking and comfortable for all activies.i actually have bought several more pairs since my first purchase and now will not wear any other underwear. Amazing!
namo - 2007-02-03great panties!
As with all of the above rave reviews, these are great panties! Soft and comfortable, they do not ride up or down. I was surprised at how well the low rise fit (as normally I am a higher rise wearer). But they stayed where they should! Would highly recommend them.
Anonymous - 2007-02-02Instantly comfortable!
I'm really pleased with this Capilene purchase; the lightweight material & non-binding trim definitely contribute to the comfort factor. Also love the colors & cute designs .....
Anonymous - 2007-01-11ditto
And if you're wondering about how to size: I'm a 2-4 and I wear a small in these. They really are the best ever. The next best are the low rise thongs.
Tammi - 2007-01-03Fantastic!
Got these for XMAS and boy are these great! They fit perfect and don't ride up so I can wear my favorite jeans without my underwear showing. I will be getting more!
Anonymous - 2006-11-24Great fit and stay put
Great undies, fabric, and fit, but a bit pricey.
isabella - 2006-10-23The Best !!!
These are the best underwear in the world. I have 5 of them. Quality material, comfortable and soft, perfect style. Better than the regular Women's Capilene Brief. Breathable and quick-drying. The best!
- 2006-09-30best fitting underwear I've ever owned
These underpants stay put and dry quickly. I will never buy any other kind again.
Carol C - 2006-09-24The Only Underwear!
This is the only underwear I will wear now. It doesn't ride up, fits my body, doesn't show lines, etc under clothing. Don't even know it's on. Expensive, but having one pair for every day of the week instead of 15 different brands is worth it.
PeeDee - 2006-08-09Definately worth spending the money on!
These are the most comfortable and best wicking underwear your money can buy. I am re
replacing ALL my undies with these.. one or two pair at a time as I can afford it.
Susan - 2006-07-26My favorite pair!
Great coverage, smooth lines and a perfect cut for low cut pants. Very comfortable! I can't wait to invest in more!
Anonymous - 2006-07-15Perfect fit..
.. for a moderately athletic shape. These undies have just the right amount of coverage and provide persistent and totally non-obtructive support for all kinds of activities that they have made a loyal fan of Capilenes out of me.
Fran - 2006-07-12Just what I wanted
The brief is seamless. Its not tight or constricted but also doesn't sag. I purchased one size up from what I normally use and I'm very happy with the fit. I use them to do cardio and weight training.
Nicole - 2006-07-06can't get better than this!
They don't rub, chaffe, ride up, or anything that my other underwear do. These are by far the most comfortable pair I own. I would recommend these over and over again. No matter what I'm doing, running, biking, 4-wheeling, or just sitting around the house these are what I want to be wearing!
Anonymous - 2006-06-11Nice fit
They fit very nicely around my butt for when I am active. They are great for working out with weights or aerobically.
Anonymous - 2006-06-08Excellent products
Far, these are the best hipster briefs. I bought 6 of them, and I've used in differents situations: cold, hot, warm, etc. and they work excellent. Obviously, you don't take into account that you are wearing them. Finally, they dry quickly.
Trish - 2006-05-09AWSOME!!
These are THE best women's undies around! They are some comfortable! I will no longer buy any other! They run a bit small, so you may need to go with a size up. GREAT PRODUCT!
Anonymous - 2006-05-08Best underwear period
I usually wear thongs with my blue jeans but have found that I can wear any of the patagonia panties and not have any VPL!! The material is so soft you don't even notice that you have underwear on. THey are well worth the price!!
Lapistolle - 2006-05-07the best underwear around
Bar none--and I've tried them all--Moving Comfort, Athleta, Title 9 Sports, various other brands. These are the best. Worth the money. Right on in terms of fit, no seams to fray or bind, Capilene fabric--it's all good.
Anonymous - 2006-03-19Like em
Nice colour, nice fit, really comfortable to wear. Are my favorite underwear.
Lori - 2006-02-06Great fit, great style!
These fit great...I bought 5 pair and wish I would have bought more! I bought them for skiing but they're so comfortable I can wear them for my everyday undies!
Anonymous - 2006-01-25Will definitely buy again
As a fitness instructor and avid runner, I give these 5 stars. Wish I would have purchased more the first time around.
Sue - 2005-12-27so worth the $$$
I bought a pair of these briefs a few years ago and fell in love with them instantly. They are so comfy!! I always make sure I have this brand on before I do any kind of work out. They ar non chafing and dry in a flash. If you sweat at all during workouts, hikes...whatever...these are so for you!!
Helen Morgan - 2005-11-13Excellent Quality !!!
I had bought one of these and loved them so much that I have now bought 3 more. They really stay where they are suppose too.
Katie - 2005-11-09Finally, an Awesome Pair of Briefs
Being a thong wearer for several years now, I was used to the comfort of the low profile undie. However, I've been wanting to try the brief thing again but nothing I tried ever felt comfortable. Too much material, "riding up", and being a pretty athletic person I needed something that could wick well too. Patagonia's briefs are right on. They are of a soft, superb wicking material, with smooth lines, low rise, but they stay in place and remain comfortable all day no matter what I do. They also retain there quality wash after wash which is a big deal when you're putting money down for something. I have two pair and hope to get more. I actually look forward to wearing them! These panties are hands down worth it.
Anna - 2005-09-25WOW!!!
After agonizing over the price for a very long time I finally went for it and I'm so happy with these undies. I've wanted to try workout underwear for quite a while but couldn't see spending so much on just a pair of panties, it seemed so extravegant. As far as any underwear I've ever owned these stay comfy far better. I'm glad I decided to listen to Robert and the other girls who reviewed these and always said these are so good.The fit is super. Thanks everyone! Especially you Robert!
Barbi - 2005-08-28The Best!
Being a pretty active person I have tried many different brands of quick dry briefs and I have always been dissapointed. Not anymore! These capilene hipster briefs stay put and do not ride up at all, even after running a mile or two. The lower cut is perfect for some of my lower cut quick dry trail capris and pants, and the no band design is so comfortable. They also do dry quickly after washing. I read another review before buying these where someone mentioned they could not wait to put them on, now I understand. Oh, and did I mention virtually no panty lines?! My only regret is not buying more when they were on special a couple of weeks ago. I plan to purchase more of these and even at the higher price they are worth their weight in gold!
Anonymous - 2005-07-25Best underwear ever!
I have tried many panties over the years, endeavoring to find the perfect fit - including no-show panty lines, and most importantly, NO RIDING UP! Some have come close, or started out well but after washing, started riding up (presumably due to shrinkage). This Patagonia capilene briefs (both the hipster and regular briefs) seem to fit my "exacting" standards. There is absolutely NO riding up (AKA "wedging"). There's pretty much no panty line, either! They are so comfortable! Only thing - the label claims that they will dry within a few hours. I recently took them on a 10-day trip to Alaska - hand-washed them twice, they never dried that quickly and in fact remained wet even after overnight...other than that (fairly small quibble unless you want to use them alot for travel), they are perfect!
Deidre - 2005-06-03Perfect Undies for the Low Rise Pants
I absolutely LOVE these! With the style of jeans, tech capris, and board shorts sitting at your hip, other undies show. These have a nice thick rolled waist band that stays put and lays low. I am usually not a flower-girl, but my tomboy self has found more of my femme side with the flower prints. I have 2 pair now and will be getting two more. These are the only undies I wear--at the office, at the gym, in my kayak, walkin' 'round town. Very breathable, quick-drying. The best!
Meredith - 2005-04-18Best Underwear I've ever owned
These are seriously the best the best underwear I've ever owned. I now have 3 of them. Patagonia has quality material that is soft and moisture-wicking. I think this design is better than the regular brief because it rides lower and you can wear them with low-cut jeans or yoga pants. But at the same time, you get full butt-coverage, which you don't get with the thong. Perfect. A+
Anonymous - 2008-06-08fast drying and cute design
I was glad that I ordered a size larger than what I usually wear. The leg openings are a little more restrictive than I usually wear. These are pretty cute, dry fast, and seem like they will be pretty durable - I will buy them again.
Victoria - 2007-07-17The closest brief to light weight with a very strong fit
I like a brief that holds in the gut but has a sleek fit. These are great but I wish that they covered a pinch more on the tummy. Well I also could do a sit up or 2. I love them!
Jill - 2007-02-10Comfortable and soft
Just received and very Soft and comfortable. I am a size 4-6 and needed a medium. Will quickly become my favorite underwear to wear for workouts.
Anonymous - 2006-04-23Love it!
Sits lower than I thought but doesn't bunch. Love it!
Anonymous - 2006-02-21Very Nice!
Very Nice Undies. Sits slightly lower in the back than expected but feels good, nice and soft and stays put.
Jill - 2006-02-17Great undies! However...
If you are only moderately active and therefore have a slightly flabby rear or fleshy hips, be sure to go one size up! I wear size 10/12, and purchased these in L... they squish my fat at the hips slightly, and were snug enough to show lines. Pros: excellent moisture wicking, cute designs, full coverage, no wedgies. Cons: no returns, so choose wisely. But I still like them so much I'm going to buy some of the non-hipster briefs in XL to wear until I'm skinny enough to wear the other 3 pairs!
Samuel Kachmar - 2006-01-05Very good underwear
i bought these for my girlfriend and she really loves them, has like 4 pairs of patagonia underwear now, something about the big waistband, being really good in terms of keeping the underwear in place.
so good quality, and they look nice too
