Wool underwear? Will they be itchy? NO! These are wonderfully soft and don’t stretch out/lose shape even after a couple days of wear. I wanted to really test out the odor prevention properties that wool has, so I took these on a camping trip. Even after a couple days-no discernible smell (and my partner confirmed I didn’t smell like a barn animal after returning home as well). These are very soft-the fabric is stretchy and springs back-doesn’t loose shape like 100% cotton does, and do a good job of keeping me cool and dry, even if I’m doing some sweaty yard work. I’d never really considered that I might like wool underwear-I’m normally a fan of modal, because it’s super soft-but these are equally as soft and they do a better job of wicking sweat and keeping you fresh. The medium size was good in the waist, felt a little baggy in the butt for me initially, but did shrink about 10% in the wash-which I’m not mad about-they fit perfectly now. I did follow the cold wash/air dry directions, but then after dry I ran them through an ultra low temp cycle in the dryer for 10 mins. I find this fluffs up the air dry garments and helps make them a little softer and hasn’t seemed to shrink my wool garments after the initial run. I might not try this if they were very tight to begin with, but the waistband is elastic so that won’t shrink regardless.. I’m really happy with the quality of this brand, and I’m definitely adding them to my list of brands to come back to when I need more/other items. Read more
This is the first time I've tried wool blend briefs. I was a little concerned that they might have a bit of that itchy feeling that sometimes happens with wool products. I know, merino wool is generally not itchy, but it's also usually used in less sensitive areas than underwear. These feel very comfortable. They are noticeably warmer than my cotton-blend underwear. I work mostly outdoors, and these have been amazing for the colder weather. They do feel a little roomier than most boxer briefs, very comfortable, but not super supportive. However, the waistband is very generous and fits perfectly with plenty of elasticity. I was a little disappointed to see instructions saying not to tumble dry printed on the briefs. The product description says only that it is machine washable, but nothing about drying restrictions. If you dig through the 18 product photos, you can find it mentioned in one photo. So I thought I'd mention it again here, in case this is important to others. Overall, these are nice cold-weather briefs that have noticeably increased my winter comfort. Read more
This underwear is nice quality and comfortable. The stitching is cleanly done and the quality of the material seems excellent. The fit is just as I anticipated. They are, perhaps, a touch looser on my legs than some similar pairs I have worn, but not in a negative way. The waist band feels good and the large feels like the right size for my 34 inch waist. I tried them on briefly before washing them, and I feel like the fit was the same before and after running them through a wash/dry cycle. While the drying might not be good for them over time, I do plan to run them through both machines regularly. Overall, I consider these an excellent product. While $29.99 for a 3-pack is more than I’d prefer to pay for underwear, the cost seems consistent with similar products I have seen and tried. I would consider these again in the future for general use, though for sports use I still consider my Saxx boxer briefs the best I have tried. Read more
I know what you're thinking - I don't want scratchy wool down around my private parts. You couldn't be farther from the experience of wearing these merino wool boxer briefs. These are a thin and lightweight wool-poly blend with a nice high quality elastic waistband. So comfortable! I was shocked as the fit and the feel of these underwear. They are as soft as the best moisture wicking materials while still being mostly made of wool. The sizing is true, so you can order with confidence. Once you wear these thin wool boxers, you'll be convinced that they are great. Read more
