'WASTE OF MONEY'

Strengths:
Lightweight

Weaknesses:
Poor fit, weak waist band, slippery material.
Completely useless.

Overall:
Agree with everything Max Zappa says. Similar design to my M&S boxers which are comfortable, fit perfectly and have reassuringly strong waistband (and cost a fraction of Paramo price).

'GOING COMANDO WITHOUT GOING COMANDO'

Strengths:
Super comfy, extremely breathable, high wicking and light. Keeps yer bits cool.

Weaknesses:
reversing dosen't seem to make much of a difference

Overall:
I've owned a pair now for around 18 months, they are fantastic so comfy you forget you're wearing them. They've been machine washed a thousand times and still look and perform like new. Excellent piece of kit no matter which way you put them on.

'WORST FIT OF ANY UNDERWEAR I'VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE!'

Strengths:
Lightweight

Weaknesses:
Waist elastic weak. Garment rides down several inches after only a few yards of walking. Not suitable for purpose. Expensive.

Overall:
Bought these from Go Outdoors on Sunday 21/4/08 and wore them the day after Monday 22/4/08 for a round of golf. After hitting my first tee shot I walked down the fairway about 100 yards, the boxers were practically around my ankles. The elastic waist is very weak compared to any of my standard briefs or boxers. They simply do not stay up. Have I got the wrong size you may ask? No, I'm 38 inch waist which according to the Paramo size chart I should need the XL size, which is up to waist size 40. The next size down L is up to 36 inch waist, so I definately have the correct size. My round of golf took much longer than usual, as I wrestled with these boxer shorts several times on each hole, all 18 of them. I wont be walking the Wainwrights in these, thats for sure. I'll be asking for my money back.

'HAVEN'T FOUND ANYTHING BETTER'

Strengths:
Light, wick like crazy, dry very quickly

Weaknesses:
I only have three pairs.
Very interesting fly arrangement which would suit better if certain parts were able to bend round corners at such acute angles.

Overall:
I've tried virtually every boxer out there from dry flo to Primark, M&S etc. These are by far and away the best performing. Soft, light, wick like crazy and dry in no time.
A rare product that deserves full marks for this price.

'SUPER COMFY - NO MORE NAPPY RASH'

Strengths:
What can I say, no more discomfort. Dont know why i didnt swap years ago. After all if the Queen guards her crown jewels why shouldnt i look after mine!

Weaknesses:
Sizing is my only grip. Im a 34" and had to buy medium 32" as the large is a 36". But thats not Paramo's problem, more mine for not shifting the extra inches.

Overall:
I love em.........go on spoil man's best friend.

'THEY MAKE YOUR DAY ON THE HILL A LITTLE MORE COMFY. '

Strengths:
Fantastic wicking
Very breathable
Very comfy
Reversible
Lightweight

Weaknesses:
A little pricey

Overall:
Had a pair for a while now and they're much better than any previous base layer boxers I've owned.
I'm not quite sure how Paramo do it, but again they've produced a fab piece of outdoor kit that really works well in all conditions. Even if you're working really hard and sweating quite a lot, you'll be dry again in no time. Fantastic levels of breathability too. You can even get away with wearing them for a good few days because they never get that odour so common with man-made base layers.

The only gripe I have is that maybe the inseam could be longer to give more protection in winter?

Treat Big Steve and the Twins and get a pair !!

'Absolutely Suberb!'

Strengths:
Light weight, extremely breathable and very comfortable.

Weaknesses:
None.

Overall:
These are amazing boxers, significantly better than the Lowe Dry Flow brand. They are amazingly comfortable and very breathable, so good that I went out and bought another two pairs to prepare for hiking in the summer. The breathability of these undies is simply in a different class to the others I have tried. And they are reversible, one side warmer, the other cooler. I realised I'd been wearing the warm side and they were amazingly comfortable. You can't go wrong!
