Icebreaker says: 

Stretchy and slim-fit merino-blend boxers made with our Cool-Lite™ fabric offering the support and comfort you need.

Stretchy and slim-fit merino-blend boxers made with icebreaker’s breathable Cool-Lite™ fabric, the Merino Blend Anatomica Cool-Lite™ Boxers offer the everyday support and comfort you need. These ultralight boxers feature a durable and stretchy blend of natural merino wool and TENCEL™ Lyocell that helps manage moisture in any weather. The gusseted, slim fit includes a supportive, contoured pouch and flat merrowed seams prevent friction.

Silky-soft merino and TENCEL™ Lyocell, a sustainable plastic-free lyocell, combine to create icebreaker Cool-Lite™, a luxurious fabric that naturally regulates your body’s microclimate. Inspired by nature, icebreaker harnesses the performance qualities of natural fibres to offer an alternative to clothing based on petrochemical synthetics.

Our Verdict

The Merino 125 Cool-Lite Anatomica Boxers balance comfort and performance, using a soft blend of merino and Tencel that dries quickly and feels smooth next to skin. The fit is slim and close, and the flat seams do a good job staying unnoticed during movement. I appreciated the contoured pouch and gusseted cut, which helped with mobility, though I did find the fabric has a bit more give than I’d ideally want for all-day structure. Still, they held up well over multiple days and resisted smell far better than any synthetic I’ve used.
