Everyday boxer briefs made from moisture-wicking, breathable TENCEL lyocell/elastane stretch jersey. Fair Trade Certified sewn.

Patagonia says

First on, last off—Essential Boxer Briefs are our go-to do-all’s. Light on the skin and endlessly breathable, they provide all-day comfort with a fabric blend of TENCEL® lyocell and elastane stretch jersey that feels soft and natural yet has all the technical benefits to wick moisture and stretch. At the waist, an anti-roll, comfort waistband stays put without pinching, binding or chafing. Details include ergonomic patterning for a bulk-free fit, a stay-put leg design that keeps them from riding up or constricting, a fully functioning fly, flatlock, chafe-free comfort seaming throughout and a contoured pouch for frictionless support. Essential Boxer Briefs are also Fair Trade Certified™ sewn, which means the people who made them earned a premium for their labor.

Our Verdict

Patagonia’s Essential Boxer Briefs are a very short version of the traditional boxers that still provide the stretch, comfort and quick-dry performance you need for any active pursuit you may be doing however, they are also great if you’re just relaxing. The fabric will rapidly wick sweat away from body keeping you comfortable when the going gets strenuous. The fabric also dries impressively quickly which is a huge bonus.

The boxers have been sewn in Fair Trade certified facility and made from a combination of environmentally friendly TENCEL lyocell fabric and spandex in keeping with Patagonia’s industry leading ethical standards.
