My big gripe with this is the size - I have an older pair of EMS Techwick boxers in size M (I have a 32 inch waist) that fit great. Thinking the sizing would be similar with these ones (my belief reinforced by EMS's sizing guide), I got medium. The waist is a bit loose on these. If they were a bit more snug, I would have given them 5 stars.

Once your wear these you wont go back to cotton. you can actually feel them drying. The slickness of the material is awesome on the inner theighs to keep from chafing.
Get the Patagonia Boxers instead

Too small and too tight; heavy and not lightweight; did not cool or air out the region they cover. Worn once and not likely to wear again.

I'm an XXL shirt, and these are XXL shorts and they are WAY too big. I'm going to have to buy new, smaller ones.

I use these as everyday boxers. I have had them since December and like them so far in terms of fit and fabric feel. I expect that they will be better than cotton in the hot months of summer, and have found them to be cool and dry on the hotter days/rooms this winter.

I used it on a trail hike on the Florida trail and the day turned really warm under full load. The looseness of the garment and the sweating added to the misery of chafing. I guess my expectation would of been a more tight fitting garment. They material felt wonderful, and would recommend them just for a casual day hike. I probably won't wear them again on a long, full load trail hike. They are very nice to sleep in

I was skeptical at first since I am used to buying regular cotton boxers from [...], but I tried these and I really like them. They fit well and are not too bulky on the bottom. Still could be a little more tapered, but for boxers they are really comfortable, especially when you will be sitting for a while (on a plane, long car ride, etc.) or out for a hike when it is even remotely damp [...].

I'm normally a "commando" type of guy, but for the long hauls, these shorts keep you dry, non-chaffed and funk-free.
