Ex-Officio Mens Give-n-go boxer briefs: a brief review

[Corey]

I have one pair of Duluth's boxer/briefs, I do not care for them.
And yes, on the Duluth ones I have, if you do not close the tiny button, you will be playing pop goes the weasel

Glad the EX's do not have a button on them.

... if you do not close the tiny button, you will be playing pop goes the weasel

LOL. Anything longer than 30 seconds is not opening the button...

OK, my official report from wearing them on Saturday.
They seem to be no more comfortable than the Duluth Buck Naked ones, but the latter were already comfortable, so both win in that department.

The texture may be a tad smoother on the Ex-Officio ones, but not much.
But where the Ex-Officio really shine is the no button on the fly.

I complained about the button on the fly with the Duluths earlier, and it is nice these have no button.
Duluth would be wise to drop their button and redesign the flap.
The button on the Duluths is simply to small to button back up sometimes.

With that, I am placing another order with Amazon for four more pair of the Ex-Officio ones.

Thanks Corey. Comparing the Buck Nakeds to the Exoffocio's... I assume you purchased the same size. Did you feel either one was a snugger or looser cut? Was the inseam longer or shorter than the Buck Naked. Thanks - waiting to pull the trigger...

[Corey]

I ordered the same size.
The Ex ones are smaller when placed on top of the Duluth ones, but they fit me fine.
The fit though seems the same.
Cannot remember if one is longer or not.

Thanks Corey!

Another ExOfficio Give-N-Go underwear fan chiming in. I really love these things. The waistband does seem to go bad after a while, but letting them air-dry instead of putting them in the dryer seems to help with this.

I'm also a big fan of the Give-N-Go t-shirt - it's the same material as the boxers and makes a great base layer. I wear the Give-N-Go tee underneath my GeoTrek'r shirt and it's a great combination.

Just got mine and so far love them. Will be interesting to see how they wear. The one down side is they are made in China. Are any high quality clothing companies still made in America? I know Mountian Kahkis aren't and just a few of Duluths products are and the quality is lacking. Paid more for the US made jeans and then had the zipper break about a week later and they were unable to replace them so they just refunded the money.

Corey: 5 pairs of ex-officio's!? I have three and that is all I own. Granted I live in a Landcruiser

Still loving them. Quick to dry super comfy and no chafeage on long hikes in warm weather. Will not buy anything else unless someone says there is a give-n-go alternative worth it's salt...
