comfy but pongy

Very comfortable, stretchy, smooth.
Dry reasonably quickly
Only takes a few hours to become pongy.
A high performance garment for when you're active, but give off an odour you'd not want to share. Good lonely camping type uses.

Brilliant boxers!

lightweight
fast drying
really comfy
extremely robust and hardwearing
not too pongy after a few days :)
not cheap
I have had a pair of these for 4 years and they are still my favourite for walking in. The fit is excellent and comfortable. They are light and also dry quickly. They dont seem to whiff too badly after 2 or 3 days but that could be my nose. Also they are extremely robust and hardwearing as they havent dropped a stitch or sagged or bagged in 4 years of use.

Thoroughly recommend!

WASTE OF MONEY

Lightweight
Poor fit, weak waist band, slippery material.
Completely useless.
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).
