    I wrote the OP in November of last year while we where in Costa Rica (I think)... But don't underestimate the importance of chafe-age, a pair of underwear that limit chafe are IMHO worth their weight in gold... The give-n-go's are awesome. I have been using 2 pairs (and no other underwear) since last October, no chafe and they dry in a few hours even in high humidity areas.

    As the comic book shop owner in the Simpsons would say: Best underwear, ever.

    My only complaint about them is that I have had the waistband on several of them lose it's elasticity. I wash them per the directions, but maybe they just don't like my washing machine. Unfortunately, I don't have a stream or big rock nearby to bang them on.

    I usually wash them in sinks by hand. In camp I sometimes put them in a large Tupperware with soapy water and just shake it for a while, let it soak and rinse... Works like a charm! We have a drying line inside the LandCruiser hung between the grab bars of the backseat, there is usually underwear and a packtowl hanging.

    Please ..... never use the word 'Pinch' while referring to underwear.

    That is hilarious! Both the pinch and the next post... But, we do have a "Tupperware" set aside for the wash it is not actually Tupperware per se it is a large plastic former pretzel container. It holds about a gallon of water and it has threads so it does no leak. Tupperware just was easier to explain.

    I have had many pairs and do love them but the waist band always goes bad. Tried contacting them by email and voice mail with no response.

    REI will swap them but person at the returns looks at me strange .
