That\u2019s why we\u2019ve thoroughly researched over 30 pairs of men\u2019s hiking underwear and tested our 8 favorites. In order to include every budget, we chose pairs all across the price spectrum from brands such as Fruit of the Loom, Under Armour, Icebreaker, Smartwool, Uniqlo, ExOfficio, and SAXX. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our gear testers conducted controlled testing on drying time, breathability, durability, and odor resistance to extract quantifiable results. We also wore each pair for months to assess their comfort during rigorous activities from running to ski touring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And for more info, check out some of our other popular gear

SAXX also utilizes flatlock seams to further reduce chafing and a no-roll waistband that is snug but not as soft as other models.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The nylon blend makes for a durable, stretchy fabric that we found to hold up to normal use. Although it can snag on small abrasives easier than wool, the fabric doesn\u2019t pill very easily.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The nylon is also treated for odor-resistance. We found this helps for a couple days of use, but it doesn\u2019t compare to the natural odor-resistant qualities of wool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can\u2019t go wrong with the SAXX Quest Quick-Dry undies for any type of outdoor activity. Their balance of features is incredibly well-rounded, and they are even relatively affordable. <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"product-details__badge\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/EditorsPick-Shirt.svg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-post-image\" alt=\"The CleverHiker Editor&#039;s Pick Badge Logo with a shirt picture in the middle\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\n\n\r\n<div style=\"margin-block-start:0;

They have many of the same characteristics as more expensive synthetic pairs, but you can get a 3-pack for less than what a single pair usually costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The underwear is made from lightweight, breathable mesh and stitched together with flatlock seams to minimize chafing. The polyester mesh is almost as breathable as the highly engineered SAXX DropTemp Cooling Mesh and feels soft against the skin. Unfortunately, the polyester has the potential to get a little stinky despite the odor controlling treatment. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being a thin polyester material, the fabric is susceptible to rubs and holes. However, the destruction would be less painful on the wallet than ones that cost $45 for a single pair.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Micro-Mesh briefs lack a fly, which might be an unfamiliar change. On one hand, it\u2019s a practical feature that guys have come to expect. On the other hand, the featureless front adds a comfort dimension. After testing these in the field, we personally don\u2019t mind this omission when wearing running shorts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Fruit of the Loom Micro-Mesh Boxer briefs may not perform to the standards of high end synthetic activewear. However, they come close and won\u2019t break the bank.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div

href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Icebreaker-Merino-Anatomica-Boxers-X-Large\/dp\/B07T5K3QB9?tag=cleve05e-20\">icebreaker Anatomica Boxers<\/a> are our favorite merino wool hiking underwear. They have all of the natural benefits of merino &#8211; plus, they are a little softer and more contoured than the Smartwool Merino briefs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We tested the fly-less version of the Anatomicas, but they are available in a version <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">with <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a fly as well. For casual wear around town, the practicality of a fly is nice, but for hiking in activewear, we didn\u2019t miss the fly. In fact, we actually prefer the added comfort of a blank front.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The soft wool has a similar feel to the familiar coziness of cotton but with much better performance all around. Most notably, merino wool is stretchier and significantly more breathable. One feature that some may not find ideal with the Anatomicas is the thin waistband. It\u2019s very snug and a bit more noticeable than the wide waistband of the Under Armour Performance Cotton, for example.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During our testing, the merino wool performed as expected \u2013 excellent moisture wicking, lasting odor resistance, and a surprisingly fast drying time. The added 12% nylon blended into the wool drastically improves the durability of the wool as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most men\u2019s hiking underwear features flatlock seams throughout, but icebreaker has gone with thicker pipe seams in certain areas. This decision may have been for added durability, but the bulkier seams are noticeable, especially the one in the center of the crotch. The thread is soft, however, so we consider this a minor downside.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The icebreaker Anatomicas are an excellent choice for long backpacking trips where things like odor resistance, comfort, and durability matter most. Although they don\u2019t compare to the ultra-breathable mesh of synthetic models, the Anatomicas still do an impressive job at wicking moisture and drying quickly.

perfect for the most athletic pursuits on the hottest days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for the feeling of wearing nothing at all, look no further. The briefs are constructed from a banded mesh fabric with ultra breathable zones along the inner thighs and rear cleavage. Paired with the moisture wicking qualities of the fabric, these zones help keep you dry even on the most humid days.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SAXX\u2019s BallPark pouch is a uniquely designed interior cup that secures everything in place. The mesh, polyester walls of the pouch create a barrier between your legs and your delicate equipment to cut down on chafing. For an additional chafe-reducing measure, SAXX constructed the briefs with all flatlock seams.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fit of the SAXX DropTemp briefs is a little on the looser side but still snug enough. Although the main body of the briefs is one of the most transparent-feeling on our list, some may find the textured waistband irritating. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The nature of the DropTemp\u2019s lightweight fabric has its pros and cons. While it\u2019s supremely breathable and odor resistant, it is unfortunately not as durable as some other options. We recommend washing them on a gentle cycle to get the most longevity out of these briefs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The SAXX DropTemp Cooling Mesh boxer briefs are definitely on the pricey end &#8211; especially taking into account their lower durability. However, the amount of tech and engineering that went into this pair justifies the price. If you take care of them, this pair of boxer briefs should give you the breathability and support you need for many adventures to come.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\n\n\r\n<div style=\"margin-block-start:0; scroll-margin-top: 5rem\" class=\"product-details__block md:pb-[1rem] wp-block-acf-product-detail\" id=\"airism\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"grid grid-cols-1 product-details__wrapper md:grid-cols-2\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Row 1 -->\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"flex flex-wrap md:col-span-2\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<!-- Featured Post Image -->\r\n\t\t\t\t<div\r\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"flex flex-col items-center justify-center w-full p-5 product_details__image basis-full xs:basis-2\/5 md:basis-1\/2 md:w-1\/2\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<figure>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"718\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Uniqlo_AIRism-Product-Cards.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Uniqlo_AIRism-Product-Cards.png 700w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Uniqlo_AIRism-Product-Cards-292x300.png 292w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<!-- Product title, intro and attributes -->\r\n\t\t\t\t<div\r\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"flex flex-col w-full p-5 product-details__overview basis-full xs:basis-3\/5 md:basis-1\/2 md:w-1\/2\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"mb-5 tracking-tight text-32px\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tUniqlo AIRism Boxer Briefs\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"mb-4 italic leading-6 text-18px\">Fastest Drying<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"leading-8 text-16px text-arsenic\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"font-bold\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPrice:\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t$15\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"leading-8 text-16px text-arsenic\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"font-bold\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMaterial:\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t88% polyester, 12% spandex\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"leading-8 text-16px text-arsenic\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"font-bold\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tStyle:\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tboxer briefs\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<!-- Product Affiliate links -->\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"w-full p-10 product-details__links basis-full\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- loop through affiliate links: label\/link as buttons -->\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Uniqlo-AIRism-Boxer-Briefs-Large\/dp\/B075VYL1B1\/ref=sr_1_1?tag=cleve05e-20\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"text-14px md:text-16px text-center btn-secondary uppercase !py-4 leading-tight\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\trel=\"sponsored nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"View at Amazon\">View at Amazon<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uniqlo.com\/us\/en\/products\/E454326-000\/00?colorDisplayCode=69&#038;sizeDisplayCode=006\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"text-14px md:text-16px text-center btn-secondary uppercase !py-4 leading-tight\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\trel=\"sponsored nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"View at Uniqlo\">View at Uniqlo<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Row 2 -->\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"product-details__list --pro\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"pb-2 text-24px\">Pros<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- loop through pros -->\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li class=\"text-16px text-arsenic\">extremely quick drying<\/li><li class=\"text-16px text-arsenic\">lightweight<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"product-details__list --con\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"pb-2 text-24px\">Cons<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- loop through cons -->\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li class=\"text-16px text-arsenic\">less durable<\/li><li class=\"text-16px text-arsenic\">short<\/li><li class=\"text-16px text-arsenic\">not the most breathable<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t<!-- Row 3 -->\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"md:col-span-2\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Product Bottom Line -->\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"product-details__bottom-line p-7\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uniqlo.com\/us\/en\/products\/E454326-000\/00?colorDisplayCode=69&amp;sizeDisplayCode=006\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Uniqlo AIRism Boxer Briefs<\/a> are the lightest and fastest drying underwear on our list. If you love a smaller fit bordering tighty-whitey territory &#8211; or you are trying to shed every gram from your travel or thru-hiking packing &#8211; these may be the men\u2019s hiking underwear for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With their minimal construction and polyester blend, the AIRism boxer briefs weigh a mere 38 grams when dry. A 3-panel design, lack of a fly, thin waistband, and a 3-inch inseam limit its material to keep weight down. However, not everyone will love the short inseam. For those with a heavier build, the crotch can tend to ride up, and thigh chafing might become an issue with the shorter leg length. The fabric itself, however, is very soft and stretchy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The thinner fabric may wear faster than thicker nylon or wool options. Although it does feature an anti-odor treatment, the polyester has the potential to hold on to stench for longer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the Uniqlo AIRism boxer briefs may not be ideal for hikers with a larger build, they\u2019re perfect for anyone that likes a snug fit or is looking to shed every gram possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\n\n\r\n<div style=\"margin-block-start:0;

These have been our go-to thru-hiking undies for years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Merino wool is a fantastic natural fiber used in a wide range of applications in the outdoor industry. Its moisture-wicking qualities help regulate body temperature and manage sweat, and its naturally antimicrobial properties keep unwanted odors at bay. There is a noticeable difference in how quickly the stench builds on multi-day trips with synthetic garments compared to wool. Wool wins.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although merino wool deteriorates over time, the added nylon core on these Smartwool briefs dramatically increases their durability. We have used a single pair of these merino underpants for over a thousand miles before they began to show noticeable wear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Smartwool briefs are reasonably comfortable despite wool\u2019s reputation of being a little itchy. The briefs feature a slim fit and are constructed entirely with flatlock seams. Although the fabric is a wool hybrid to increase durability, the next-to-skin fabric is 100% merino wool. The waistband is a little bulky and can be uncomfortable under multiple layers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main downsides to the merino wool are its decreased breathability and drying time. Merino wicks moisture well to manage sweat build-up, but these briefs took a while to become fully dry. They\u2019re not the least breathable option on our list, but pale in comparison to specially designed synthetic pairs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, the Smartwool Merino Boxer Briefs are best for long trips where you don\u2019t have the luxury of doing laundry or changing out your shorts regularly. Their price point is quite steep, but they pull their weight as a critical piece of gear.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\n\n\r\n<div style=\"margin-block-start:0;

Most outdoor companies lean towards merino wool or synthetic fibers. But if cotton is your jam, then look no further.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These briefs are incredibly comfortable and supportive. The cotton fabric is noticeably heavier than anything else on our list, providing a secure and comforting feel as well as enhancing durability. The generous 1.5-inch waistband further enhances their hugging feel and does an excellent job at keeping the briefs in place.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apart from the snug fit, the Performance Cotton Boxerjocks offer another layer of comfort by eliminating seams where they aren\u2019t necessary and using flatlock seams everywhere else.

Although they are the least breathable pair on our list, they have average drying time and actually resist odor better than most cotton fabrics. The Performance Cotton falls short of most synthetic or wool options, but its affordability, comfort, and durability are hard to beat.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\n\n\r\n<div style=\"margin-block-start:0; scroll-margin-top: 5rem\" class=\"product-details__block md:pb-[1rem] wp-block-acf-product-detail\" id=\"exofficio\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"grid grid-cols-1 product-details__wrapper md:grid-cols-2\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Row 1 -->\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"flex flex-wrap md:col-span-2\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<!-- Featured Post Image -->\r\n\t\t\t\t<div\r\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"flex flex-col items-center justify-center w-full p-5 product_details__image basis-full xs:basis-2\/5 md:basis-1\/2 md:w-1\/2\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<figure>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"570\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/EXOfficio_Give_N_Go-Boxer-Briefs.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/EXOfficio_Give_N_Go-Boxer-Briefs.png 700w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/EXOfficio_Give_N_Go-Boxer-Briefs-300x244.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<!-- Product title, intro and attributes -->\r\n\t\t\t\t<div\r\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"flex flex-col w-full p-5 product-details__overview basis-full xs:basis-3\/5 md:basis-1\/2 md:w-1\/2\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"mb-5 tracking-tight text-32px\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tExOfficio Give-N-Go 2.0 Boxer Briefs\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"mb-4 italic leading-6 text-18px\">Best for Thick Thighs<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"leading-8 text-16px text-arsenic\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"font-bold\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPrice:\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t$30\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"leading-8 text-16px text-arsenic\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"font-bold\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMaterial:\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t89% nylon, 11% elastane\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"leading-8 text-16px text-arsenic\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"font-bold\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tStyle:\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tboxer briefs\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<!-- Product Affiliate links -->\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"w-full p-10 product-details__links basis-full\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- loop through affiliate links: label\/link as buttons -->\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/ExOfficio-Standard-Give-N-Go-Boxer-Steel\/dp\/B0BG1CCFCS\/ref=sr_1_1?tag=cleve05e-20\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"text-14px md:text-16px text-center btn-secondary uppercase !py-4 leading-tight\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\trel=\"sponsored nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"View at Amazon\">View at Amazon<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/backcountry.tnu8.net\/c\/2536211\/358742\/5311?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.backcountry.com%2Fb%2Fexofficio-give-n-go-2.0-boxer-brief-mens-exov5ce\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"text-14px md:text-16px text-center btn-secondary uppercase !py-4 leading-tight\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\trel=\"sponsored nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"View at Backcountry\">View at Backcountry<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Row 2 -->\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"product-details__list --pro\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"pb-2 text-24px\">Pros<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- loop through pros -->\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li class=\"text-16px text-arsenic\">breathable<\/li><li class=\"text-16px text-arsenic\">flowy<\/li><li class=\"text-16px text-arsenic\">odor resistant<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"product-details__list --con\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"pb-2 text-24px\">Cons<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- loop through cons -->\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li class=\"text-16px text-arsenic\">loose fit isn&#039;t for everyone<\/li><li class=\"text-16px text-arsenic\">not very supportive<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t<!-- Row 3 -->\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"md:col-span-2\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Product Bottom Line -->\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"product-details__bottom-line p-7\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/ExOfficio-Standard-Give-N-Go-Boxer-Steel\/dp\/B0BG1CCFCS\/ref=sr_1_1?tag=cleve05e-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ExOfficio Give-N-Go 2.0<\/a> boxer briefs are perfect for anyone that likes a flowy, breathable set of drawers. The new 2.0 version of the Give-N-Go briefs is significantly more breathable, moisture wicking, and quick drying than the original version.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For anyone with skinny quads, the Give-N-Go\u2019s fit more like a boxer than a brief. They\u2019re much looser and more flowy than other options that offer more support.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the loose fit won\u2019t be for everyone, it does have its upsides. The flowy legs and fly naturally let in more airflow for enhanced breathability and cooling. The fit also allows optimum mobility without any bunching or wedgying unless the pants over top are particularly tight. The fabric is also nice and soft, and ExOfficio utilizes flatlock seams throughout to minimize chafing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 89% Nylon and 11% Elastane synthetic fabric is solidly constructed for excellent durability and features an odor-resistant treatment to ensure longevity. However, the ExOfficio Give-N-Go 2.0 unfortunately took a while to dry compared to other options. After three hours of hanging up, the briefs were only about 60% dried. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ExOfficio briefs are reasonably affordable for high quality synthetic boxer briefs, but folks who value a supportive fit and quick drying time might find more satisfaction in other options. These briefs are best for people with large thighs or those who enjoy a flowy, more boxer-like fit.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\n\n\r\n<section style=\"margin-block-start: 1rem;\"

id=\"h-comfort\"><strong>COMFORT<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In our opinion, comfort is the most important quality in hiking underwear because it determines whether or not you\u2019ll actually enjoy wearing them. Comfort is best assessed by wearing, so that\u2019s what we did.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For months we wore these pairs day in and day out \u2013 for working, hiking, running, ski touring, and rock climbing. We took note if the briefs tended to ride up and wedge, if they had a more transparent feel, and if the waistband and seams created any weird pressure points or chafing. However, at the end of the day, comfort is subjective, so we did our best to present this information in a neutral way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"batterylife\" class=\"wp-block-group contained-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-montserrat-font-family has-font-18-px-font-size\" id=\"h-breathability\"><strong>BREATHABILITY<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For long hikes on hot days, breathability is a critical feature to keep you feeling cool, dry, and comfortable. To test each pair\u2019s breathability, we took them out on the hottest days and worked up a formidable sweat. We also wore them in front of a fan at equal distance to determine a definitive score on how much we could feel the breeze from every angle. Certain pairs are made from thinner, synthetic mesh or even have dedicated zones that let in maximum airflow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9074-2-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"A hiker stretches the waistband of a pair of SAXX underwear.\" class=\"wp-image-46771\" style=\"width:800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9074-2-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9074-2-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9074-2-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9074-2-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9074-2-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9074-2-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The 4-way stretch makes for optimum mobility. &#8211; Photo Credit: Brett Kretzer (CleverHiker.com)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"comfort\" class=\"wp-block-group contained-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-montserrat-font-family has-font-18-px-font-size\" id=\"h-odor-resistance\"><strong><strong>ODOR RESISTANCE<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If there\u2019s anything to prove how much we love our readers, it\u2019s the odor resistance test. We achieved this in two different ways. The first is exactly what you might think \u2013 we worked up a good sweat, let them dry, and then gave them the old sniff test.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second method involved spraying them with an equal amount of fabric freshener, hanging them up to air out for a couple days, and smelling them to see how much of the fragrance remained.

We first weighed each pair of underwear completely dry to get a baseline. Then, we soaked each pair, wrung them out, and hung them up to dry. We weighed them at the beginning and in 30-minute intervals for three hours to determine how much water weight they lost over time.

With outdoor gear, the small differences that push the best products to the top often cost a pretty penny and there is always an option that comes close without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For men\u2019s hiking underwear, the pair that gives the high end stuff a run for their money is undoubtedly the <strong>Fruit of the Loom Micro-Mesh Boxer Briefs.<\/strong> Although they lack the durability of high quality synthetic options, they cost less than half as much as some competitors. You might blow through a pair in half the time, but you won\u2019t be disappointed by their comfort, drying time, and exceptional breathability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"sheets-chart-block\" data-block-id=\"32fa0a0f-c4f0-4447-b9de-2a7d6e72cecf\" data-chart-type=\"scatter\" data-sheet-title=\"Value (Price vs. Overall Score)\" data-sheet-id=\"1IaxgQ-D-OQDUNjK8vmZdhcIwQFBHycBjid84RK72Glw\" data-label=\"A2:A13\" data-stats=\"O2:O13\" data-overlay=\"\" data-overlays=\"[&quot;A2:A9&quot;]\" data-bar-color=\"#529ECC\" data-x-axis-label=\"Overall Score\" data-y-axis-label=\"Price\" data-trendline-label=\"Trendline (below = better value)\" data-x-axis-data=\"M2:M9\" data-y-axis-data=\"C2:C9\" data-sort-order=\"default\" data-editors-pick-text=\"\" data-editors-pick-image=\"\" data-budget-buy-text=\"\" data-budget-buy-image=\"\" data-axis-prepend-symbol=\"$\" data-axis-symbol-selection=\"y\"><div class=\"sheets-chart-canvas-wrap\" style=\"height:420px;max-width:800px\"><canvas class=\"sheets-chart-canvas\"><\/canvas><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"accuracy\" class=\"wp-block-group contained-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-montserrat-font-family has-font-18-px-font-size\" id=\"h-comfort-0\"><strong>COMFORT<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although comfort is admittedly subjective, some pairs have a noticeably softer or more transparent feel while others tend to wedgy or have more noticeable seams. Of course, always take into account your personal preferences and body type, but here is our best assessment of the most and least comfortable hiking underwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Under Armour UA Performance Boxerjocks <\/strong>are the most comfortable option for light hikes or lounging around at camp. They have a wide waistband that hugs the waist and keeps the briefs in place along with a long inseam. The cotton blend feels like a wisp of fluffy clouds is embracing your crotch, and the flatlock seams are unobtrusive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a more transparent style of comfort, the <strong>SAXX DropTemp Cooling Mesh <\/strong>feels like you\u2019re wearing nothing at all. They are super lightweight and breathable, and the BallPark pouch offers secure yet gentle support. The only downside is their slightly itchy waistband.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"sheets-chart-block\" data-block-id=\"a51b870e-92f8-471d-a21c-e00d9170ec6a\" data-chart-type=\"bar\" data-sheet-title=\"Comfort Rating\" data-sheet-id=\"1IaxgQ-D-OQDUNjK8vmZdhcIwQFBHycBjid84RK72Glw\" data-label=\"A2:A9\" data-stats=\"H2:H9\" data-overlay=\"\" data-overlays=\"[]\" data-bar-color=\"#529ECC\" data-x-axis-label=\"\" data-y-axis-label=\"\" data-trendline-label=\"\" data-x-axis-data=\"\" data-y-axis-data=\"\" data-sort-order=\"value-high-low\" data-editors-pick-text=\"\" data-editors-pick-image=\"\" data-budget-buy-text=\"\" data-budget-buy-image=\"\" data-axis-prepend-symbol=\"\" data-axis-symbol-selection=\"\"><div class=\"sheets-chart-canvas-wrap\" style=\"height:420px;max-width:800px\"><canvas class=\"sheets-chart-canvas\"><\/canvas><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"battery\" class=\"wp-block-group contained-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-montserrat-font-family has-font-18-px-font-size\" id=\"h-breathability-0\"><strong>BREATHABILITY<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Breathability is a godsend on days when you\u2019re dripping in sweat and are dying for a breeze for some sweet relief.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s tough to compete with the engineering of the <strong>SAXX DropTemp Cooling Mesh.<\/strong> Not only is the main body of the underwear made from breathable, banded polyester, but there are dedicated zones on the inner thigh and buttcrack to maximize airflow and keep those areas dryer than the mojave desert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>ExOfficio Give-N-Go 2.0 <\/strong>lets in a ton of airflow thanks to its loose, boxer-like fit. If you\u2019re a thicker guy, you might not experience the full range of breathability from these boxer briefs, but those with skinnier legs will almost feel the intrusive breeze of going commando.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"sheets-chart-block\" data-block-id=\"9478da68-2493-493b-ac1a-20e903c1da44\" data-chart-type=\"bar\" data-sheet-title=\"Breathability Rating\" data-sheet-id=\"1IaxgQ-D-OQDUNjK8vmZdhcIwQFBHycBjid84RK72Glw\" data-label=\"A2:A9\" data-stats=\"I2:I9\" data-overlay=\"\" data-overlays=\"[]\" data-bar-color=\"#529ECC\" data-x-axis-label=\"\" data-y-axis-label=\"\" data-trendline-label=\"\" data-x-axis-data=\"\" data-y-axis-data=\"\" data-sort-order=\"value-high-low\" data-editors-pick-text=\"\" data-editors-pick-image=\"\" data-budget-buy-text=\"\" data-budget-buy-image=\"\" data-axis-prepend-symbol=\"\" data-axis-symbol-selection=\"\"><div class=\"sheets-chart-canvas-wrap\" style=\"height:420px;max-width:800px\"><canvas class=\"sheets-chart-canvas\"><\/canvas><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"wearability\" class=\"wp-block-group contained-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-montserrat-font-family has-font-18-px-font-size\" id=\"h-odor-resistance-0\"><strong><strong>ODOR RESISTANCE<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although comfort and breathability might be more obvious benefits in a pair of underwear, odor resistance quickly becomes a priority for any thru-hiker that has caught a whiff of themselves after a couple of weeks on the trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Merino wool by far is our favorite fabric to fend off unpleasant odors. Synthetics, even when enhanced with anti-odor treatments, don\u2019t compare to wool\u2019s natural anti-microbial characteristics. Given this, the <strong>Smartwool Merino Wool Boxer Briefs <\/strong>and <strong>Icebreaker Anatomica Boxers<\/strong> last the longest before turning into a petri dish of hiker body odor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"sheets-chart-block\" data-block-id=\"0c2a0ad8-1cee-4261-a705-ba36b8e36855\" data-chart-type=\"bar\" data-sheet-title=\"Odor Resistance\" data-sheet-id=\"1IaxgQ-D-OQDUNjK8vmZdhcIwQFBHycBjid84RK72Glw\" data-label=\"A2:A9\" data-stats=\"J2:J9\" data-overlay=\"\" data-overlays=\"[]\" data-bar-color=\"#529ECC\" data-x-axis-label=\"\" data-y-axis-label=\"\" data-trendline-label=\"\" data-x-axis-data=\"\" data-y-axis-data=\"\" data-sort-order=\"value-high-low\" data-editors-pick-text=\"\" data-editors-pick-image=\"\" data-budget-buy-text=\"\" data-budget-buy-image=\"\" data-axis-prepend-symbol=\"\" data-axis-symbol-selection=\"\"><div class=\"sheets-chart-canvas-wrap\" style=\"height:420px;max-width:800px\"><canvas class=\"sheets-chart-canvas\"><\/canvas><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"features\" class=\"wp-block-group contained-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-montserrat-font-family has-font-18-px-font-size\" id=\"h-drying-time-0\"><strong><strong>DRYING TIME<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Say you\u2019re on a week-long backpacking trip, you like to travel light, and you\u2019ve just taken a dip in a lake or jumped into a river to \u201cdo your laundry.\u201d The last thing you want is a pair of skivvies that haven\u2019t dried in time for bed or &#8211; worse yet &#8211; turned into an icicle overnight.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All pairs were subjected to the same test and left to dry in the same place with minimal airflow. The dryness results were calculated as a percentage of the underwear\u2019s original dry weight to give them all a fair metric.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to their lightweight, breathable polyester fabric, the<strong> Uniqlo AIRism Boxer Briefs <\/strong>dried the quickest. They were almost beaten by the <strong>Fruit of the Loom Micro-Mesh Boxer Briefs <\/strong>and <strong>SAXX Quest Quick-Dry Mesh Boxer Briefs <\/strong>but got a final burst of drying between the 2.5 and 3-hour mark.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"sheets-chart-block\" data-block-id=\"68eb7c94-e068-4e94-976f-0245a4cce30b\" data-chart-type=\"bar\" data-sheet-title=\"Drying Time Rating\" data-sheet-id=\"1IaxgQ-D-OQDUNjK8vmZdhcIwQFBHycBjid84RK72Glw\" data-label=\"A2:A9\" data-stats=\"K2:K9\" data-overlay=\"\" data-overlays=\"[]\" data-bar-color=\"#529ECC\" data-x-axis-label=\"\" data-y-axis-label=\"\" data-trendline-label=\"\" data-x-axis-data=\"\" data-y-axis-data=\"\" data-sort-order=\"value-high-low\" data-editors-pick-text=\"\" data-editors-pick-image=\"\" data-budget-buy-text=\"\" data-budget-buy-image=\"\" data-axis-prepend-symbol=\"\" data-axis-symbol-selection=\"\"><div class=\"sheets-chart-canvas-wrap\" style=\"height:420px;max-width:800px\"><canvas class=\"sheets-chart-canvas\"><\/canvas><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"easeofuse\" class=\"wp-block-group contained-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-montserrat-font-family has-font-18-px-font-size\" id=\"h-durability-0\"><strong><strong>DURABILITY<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, thicker materials can stand up to more abrasion than thinner ones and natural materials like cotton and wool are less durable than synthetic alternatives like nylon and polyester. This is why wool and cotton are often blended with synthetics instead of being completely natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite this fact, we found the <strong>Under Armour UA Performance Cotton Boxerjock <\/strong>to be the most durable underwear we tested. The initial sandpaper test revealed no significant deterioration of the fabric thanks to its nylon blend and sheer thickness. The Boxerjocks simply have a lot of fabric that\u2019ll take a long time to wear through with normal use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Smartwool Merino Boxer Briefs <\/strong>are another testament to the durability of natural fiber when combined with synthetics. We\u2019ve worn these underwear for over a thousand miles of thru-hiking before the fabric began showing holes and noticeable transparency.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"sheets-chart-block\" data-block-id=\"ce1eb005-b199-42dd-9398-bd7b4c8c3dfc\" data-chart-type=\"bar\" data-sheet-title=\"Durability Rating\" data-sheet-id=\"1IaxgQ-D-OQDUNjK8vmZdhcIwQFBHycBjid84RK72Glw\" data-label=\"A2:A9\" data-stats=\"L2:L9\" data-overlay=\"\" data-overlays=\"[]\" data-bar-color=\"#529ECC\" data-x-axis-label=\"\" data-y-axis-label=\"\" data-trendline-label=\"\" data-x-axis-data=\"\" data-y-axis-data=\"\" data-sort-order=\"value-high-low\" data-editors-pick-text=\"\" data-editors-pick-image=\"\" data-budget-buy-text=\"\" data-budget-buy-image=\"\" data-axis-prepend-symbol=\"\" data-axis-symbol-selection=\"\"><div class=\"sheets-chart-canvas-wrap\" style=\"height:420px;max-width:800px\"><canvas class=\"sheets-chart-canvas\"><\/canvas><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"choose\" class=\"wp-block-group contained-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left has-font-32-px-font-size\" id=\"critical\">How to Choose Hiking Underwear<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"gps\" class=\"wp-block-group contained-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-montserrat-font-family has-font-18-px-font-size\" id=\"h-price\"><strong><strong>PRICE<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While it\u2019s nice to have a pair of underwear that lasts a long time and has a lot of thoughtful tech behind it, you definitely don\u2019t have to spend a lot to get something decent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fruit of the Loom Micro-Mesh boxer briefs are incredibly affordable, but you\u2019ll go through them a lot quicker.

Synthetics like nylon and polyester have excellent breathability but tend to harbor odor-causing bacteria more than naturally antimicrobial wool. Merino wool wicks moisture well and does the best at keeping odors away, but it\u2019s expensive and takes longer to dry. Cotton is soft, cozy, and cheap, but it takes the longest to dry and is the least breathable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"durability\" class=\"wp-block-group contained-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-montserrat-font-family has-font-18-px-font-size\" id=\"h-fly-or-no-fly\"><strong><strong>FLY OR NO FLY<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some active underwear styles have opted to completely get rid of the traditional fly.

If you\u2019re super accustomed to a fly and think you\u2019ll be too thrown off by not having one, it\u2019s definitely worth checking if the underwear comes in a version with a fly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1706\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9130-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"A hiker stands in a snowy forest wearing nothing but his undies and a puffy jacket\" class=\"wp-image-46777\" style=\"width:800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9130-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9130-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9130-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9130-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9130-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9130-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">SAXX underwear are made with unique design element for unparalleled support. &#8211; Photo Credit: Brett Kretzer (CleverHiker.com)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"tracking\" class=\"wp-block-group contained-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-montserrat-font-family has-font-18-px-font-size\" id=\"h-fit\"><strong><strong>FIT<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Boxers or briefs?
