These are expensive, and it's so hard to justify buying them. I am naturally a cheapskate, and spending $30 on underwear is a mostly foreign concept to me.
When my camelcamelcamel account alerted me to a price drop a few months ago, I went ahead and picked up a couple of them to try out. I already love the regular ex-officio boxer briefs, and found them to be invaluable during my time spent in Iraq and Afghanistan. I wanted to try the sport mesh less for the new "tech", and more for the 9" inseam.
When they arrived I was pleasantly surprised. These are incredibly comfortable and dry stupid fast. In fact, based on other reviews that mention they will pill in the drying, I haven't even dried mine. They are close enough after a high speed spin cycle in the washer, and I'll just lay them out on my bed where they dry completely within an hour or two.
I took them on a trip to Mexico this last summer, and it was miserably hot. The boxers did me well, kept me cool and comfortable, never became rank, and were amazingly easy to sink-wash and dry overnight.
Yes, they are expensive. No, I probably won't spend the money to replace everything in my drawer with these, but I HIGHLY recommend them as the perfect travel boxer brief. They are that much better than the original.
