Ex Officio losing a step…

But I gotta say I'm loving both Icebreaker and Ibex merino. I always liked the Ex Officio briefs, but these are better. Just my 2¢…

Try some of the Champion C9 models. About $10 a pair at Chez Target.

like the Target ones too

Icebreaker is nice but doesn't last that long, maybe a few years. I will look at the Target ones, thanks for the suggestion. I would look at Under Armor but I have had some of their stuf before and it always ends up stinking.

I like the new sport mesh EO. Light, comfortable, seems pretty breathable and quick drying. My favorite thing about them, though, is that they're cut tightly across the butt, which limits crack creep. That's one of the reasons I stopped wearing Icebreaker and Smartwool boxers, within an hour of hiking I was wearing a wool thong. Doesn't seem to happen with these, though I haven't had them out on a proper hike yet, have just worn them for a few days to work and such.
