I know you like aerowool products from FL. Have you thought about trying their Benmore aerowool boxer briefs?

You are a savage.

Yes. I hesitated when I read reviews of the crotch going out in a week or two of hard hunting. I have narrow hips and my thighs rub together at my crotch. I chafe and wear out underwear in that area as it is. I may try a pair but they don't give them away......

Exofficio every day of the year, regardless of the activity.

Which model Clint? Any notice of a high waste band? Can't stand that myself.

ExO fit me horribly. Spindled legs or something.

Terramar are a good option for me. Like the mesh ones. Can find them at sierratradingpost.

Should probably drop the coin on some of those merino ones, just haven't had need yet.

This^^^

I use Patagonia's Capliene Boxers. I've worn it on 3 day back packing trips. I've worn it for over a week at a time when hunting the low desert. Never had any issues. Never sticky, or chaffing. And I've never worn any out. At almost $30 a pair, they'd better last. The unlined versions are the coolest in hot weather. E

+1. I take 2 pairs, wear one/wash one and you can go 2-3 days (probably longer) without stinking in a single pair easily.

I ended up finding some Sitka silk weight boxers on sale and bought 2 pairs. We'll see how they work in the next couple months.

I like the UA boxerjocks and wear then daily, but for long,extended intervals where I'm being physically active I wear C9/Champion synthetic boxer briefs with a longer inseam. I find them to be a little more comfortable and they seem to resist riding up on me like the UA's will.

I can't stand underwear, or any clothing for that matter, that is tight fitting and that I can feel tugging on me. I wear the Give N Go Boxers which are loose fitting. They do not ride high, actually the opposite.

absolutely

I personally have poly-anything. Yuck.

I always shop for gear late winter. 2 years ago I picked up 2 pair of Cabelas brand merino underwear and 2 merino tshirts on closeout for $90 total! I felt like I stole them, and have never been so happy to spend almost $100 on some skivies in my life.

IMHO wool can't be beat, but it's expensive unless you have patience to find a deal. I probably have enough wool layers stockpiled now to last the rest of my life. I keep them sealed in a Rubbermaid tub.

I know cotton is not supposed to be good but I usually wear normal cotton boxer briefs. I find them the most comfortable. If they get wet and start draining my heat, I figure I can just ditch them and go commando. If you don't bring enough pairs, turn them inside out each night.

Hot weather = Exofficio

Cool/cold weather/ or long stinky trip = Minus 33 wool boxers. I like the Minus33 better than smartwool, icebreaker, and first lite.

Duluth Trading has their merino wool boxer briefs on sale right now. Good stuff.

Stink is not my issue. Has anyone found a pair that wont ride up and chaff. Chaffing is a huge issue for me! I've found ways to overcome it but it aint pretty!

Under Armour Boxerjock has had the fewest chaffing issues for me. Body Glide can be your best friend to fight off chaffing. On my last trip I chaffed pretty bad the first day. After that, I applied Body Glide every morning and aquiphor every night, kept me in good shape.

I guess I'm old school. Any time I'm in for maximum activity it's commando with a handful of corn starch strategically applied.
