I hiked in Smartwool boxers before I made the switch over… They ended up stretching out and being as loose as my Nike shorts after a few days of wear. Like they fit just as nice on day 7 of my backpacking trip as they did when I pulled them out of the dryer. What I REALLY LOVE about the MeUndies boxer briefs is the fact that they hold their form over long periods of time without washing. In my experience, too short or loose-fitting boxers will lead to chafing on longer hikes. This is very important to me since my legs rub together while I walk.

My legs were hugged with the perfect amount of tightness. Right off the bat, these were the best fitting boxer briefs I’ve put on. I also love the unnoticeable, soft, flexible waistband and unnoticeable tag.

I will talk more about the magic of MicroModal ® further into this review. Personally, I have never worn another material like it. This material is very silky to the touch & is 3x softer than cotton. They are primarily (92%) made out of a material called MicroModal ®. Your previous boxers will feel like cardboard after trying a pair of these out. YES, they are BY FAR the most comfortable pair I have ever worn. One of the first things you might read on the MeUndies website. “The world’s most comfortable underwear for Men & Women.” The World’s Most Comfortable Hiking Underwear? Having the most comfortable clothes to hike in is extremely important to me. When it comes to the boxers I hike in this is what I’m looking at: You can check out MeUndies HERE or continue on to hear me geek out about them below. MeUndies outperforms every pair I have ever worn in almost every possible category. I have tried hiking in A LOT of different boxers over the past decade.
