Description of Patagonia Active Classic Boxer - Men's:
Stuff your carry-on with a couple pairs of Patagonia Men's Active Classic Boxers, and you're ready for a trip anywhere. Patagonia made these breathable, silkweight boxer shorts from recycled polyester and treated them with Gladiodor natural odor control in case you have to go a few days between washes while traveling. Five-panel construction and a regular boxer cut keep you comfortable whether you're hiking in the mountains or sitting on a plane.
Bottom Line: You'll wear your Patagonia Active Classic Boxers every day and everywhere.
I have been to the corners of the earth, and seen the many wonders of this planet and the many achievements of mankind, and can say without hyperbole that these boxers are the universe's greatest accomplishment. Stretchy, soft, light, way more fun to wear than underwear should be, I love these damn things. And Backcountry rules. I ordered them on a Thursday and received them on Monday, and that's with the free shipping they say will take 7-10 days.
I am currently stationed in Iraq with the MN National Guard with this being the second summer you learn quickly you need everything to be moisture wicking. The Active Classic Boxers fit the bill. At 7:00am, the temperature is already 90 F most days and by 3:00pm, we hit the low to mid 120s F. You sweat all the time and these boxers beat briefs easily at wicking moisture away and are comfortable to boot. I have a couple of pair and they can easily be rinsed and dried when you are on the go. Since water is precious and at times, saving it only for drinking you can easily go several days with out changing boxers and not smelling like the locals.
These are the only Boxers I wear in the outdoors. They are impossible to kill and are extremely comfortable. I think It is very important to include synthetic underwear in a layering system. What good are all the fancy outer layers if there is cotton right next to your skin? These aren't just a alternative to cotton they are way better. Its also nice to have a technical layer that has the cut and feel of regular underwear.
