This is the only underwear I wear now! Great stuff! The cheapest I've ever seen them is right around $16 per pair, so this is a pretty good deal.

spoobleThe "deal" here is pretty mediocre. ExOfficio synthetic boxers however are absolutely amazing. This was my go-to shorts for travel. Now they're my full time shorts, for almost every occasion.
The only problem is that the synthetic material cannot be washed with cotton clothes, or it traps the cotton fibers, ruining the shorts. An extra load of laundry, for the cool comfort alone, is absolutely worth it.

shard_incI always travel with the prescribed two pairs. One on, one off. I hop into the shower with my boxers on, and start bathing. Halfway thru the soaping phase, I take 'em off, and finish scrubbing them. Hop out of the shower, and lay 'em to dry. In about 20-25 min they're dry, and ready to wear. Been traveling since 2010 with the same pair, and they're still holding strong.

shard_incWhat do you mean by ruining them? I hadn't heard this before, so I always wash them with all my laundry, and I haven't noticed a difference... is this a case of hyperbole not coming through on the internet, or is there something happening that I'm not noticing.

r_minCotton from other clothes tends to pill up on the synthetic material of the shorts.

r_minThis only happened to me when I tossed them with extra-linty clothing, such as really thick plush cotton sweaters, or maybe a towel. The Give N Go's get "breaded" with lint, which I promptly fixed by tossing them in the dryer with NO HEAT (Air Fluff Only) for a while, and then having at them with a roll of extra-sticky masking tape. Since the GnGo's have a waffle-like fabric, the little holes get filled with lint, and lose their quick dry. But, I simply avoid all this treating them like delicate articles of clothing, instead of rushing them thru the washer like I do with 98% of my clothing. Hand wash 'em, and they'll last longer.

EdogI have a few pair that the elastic is stretching out as well. And it's not directly related to the product age, either. Some of my old ones (2011) are still fine and some of my newer ones (2014) are stretching out. That's my only complaint, though. Love these boxers! Also, I don't baby mine at all. They've been thrown in the wash and dryer with all my "normal" laundry.

cmfrankI am a pretty religious to the clothes line, but there could have been a time in 12' that i may have used it, especially on the pct. I have a pair right now that I got last year so I am hoping for the best (so far doing great as expected)
