Most comfortable underwear ever. No chaffing whatsoever. So much better than typical cotton underwear most people wear.
My only complaint is that it has been hit or miss with durability. I have 9 pairs of these (6 of the previous version) and 2 of them failed in just a few months/outings. (1 new and 1 old.) I was able to return one of them.
Both... Read More failed at the waistband and simply separated at the seam. The older version was thinner and developed a random hole in the fabric. So, not sure why some fail and others don't. I do like this version better that is all mesh, which is stronger. If they could figure out the stitching on the waistband they'd be good to go.
Otherwise, I love these things. I will never go back to cotton underwear.
IMO, the sizing is larger than usual. I normally wear a size Large, but wear a size Medium for these. I'm 6'1" and 220 lbs, so bigger than average...was surprised I needed the Medium. Guess I like them tighter than most, ha.
Comfortable for multi-day adventures, not the most durable
I took a fresh set of sender boxer briefs on a thru hike of the Colorado Trail. No chafing, ample support, and quick drying. Not having a fly isn't bad when backpacking, but a nuisance when donning a harness. I used them for 29 days straight on the CT, then a few times a week since at work, winter hikes, day hikes, and general travel. I'v... Read Moree had them since August 2022. They have now developed large enough holes in the rear that they aren't acceptable to wear any more. Comfortable and do the thing, but I've had other synthetic underwear last ~2 years of serious outdoor use. Only got about 8 months of regular use with these. Not bad, but a little delicate.
Hi Timothy, thank you for sharing this feedback on the function and durability of these briefs. We're sorry to hear they didn't hold up better during your adventures! If you like, we'll be happy to help you [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) them.

Super comfortable
These are among the most comfortable underwear I have ever worn. They strike a perfect balance between feeling barely there and providing great support. I agree with other reviewers who have expressed the wish that these be available in different colors or even patterns.
Just normal underwear. Not worth the price. They were uncomfortable definitely not recommended for running. Did a 6 mile run and couldn't wait to change out of them. The tag was super uncomfortable and removed it. The Patagonia guarantee does not apply to under layers either. Threw them away
Hi Shawn, we're sorry to hear these briefs didn't work for you, and that you've thrown them away. Actually, our warranty does apply to under layers as well. If you ever have an issue with any of our clothing being uncomfortable please feel free to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) it, or reach out to our Customer Service Team for assistance. Thank you for submitting this review!

Very comfortable
My husband really liked the boxers. He felt they were very comfortable and attractive.
These are the only underwear I buy and so I have a dozen pairs I rotate. I like them, but unfortunately they all develop a sheer bum which then turns into a hole. It has taken about 2 years for this to happen wearing once every couple of weeks -- maybe my standards are too high, but for a Patagonia product I'd hope they'd last longer.
We're so sorry to hear these briefs haven't held up better for you! This would be considered a warranty issue, so you are welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) them if you wish. Please let us know if we can be of further help, Jamie!

Love the briefs, really dislike the tag
These briefs are great.
They are the only briefs I purchase these days.
The only downside is the enormous product tag that is irritating to the skin.
I cut the tags off but it's a delicate surgery because leaving just a little is still really abrasive.
Haven't had these long but they feel great so I already bought some more. Wish you guys were as committed to the American labor force as you are to the environment - people needs jobs in the USA too.
These are almost perfect, with length being the only exception - I much prefer a 9-inch inseam over 6-inch. That said, the fabric is breathable and soft, with good elastic in the waistband and good fit. A typically great product. Hopefully the designers will consider making longer options in the future.
I got 1 in each color, prior to wearing the new underwear I put them to wash. On the first wash before trying them on, the waist bands became uneven and stretched out. Ive had cheaper sports wear that never did this. After a couple months; maybe 3, the crouch began to rip. I love all my Patagonia gear except the underwear, its complete trash I will... Read More never buy the underwear again.

Have long worn Patagonia underwear. Although these were comfortable as expected all of this style developed holes in the seat. I imagine it is poor quality stitching at fault

just perfect
I love everything about these underwear. They are thin and supportive. Great for everyday wear and for working out.
I like the feel of these but need a fly. Im so used to flys on underwear its hard to get used to ones without one. Otherwise theyre great. I ordered online not knowing there was no fly.
Hey Justin, thank you for the review. We recommend always checking out the "Specs & Features" tab underneath the product description on the product page to get a preview of what to expect in terms of features on an item. These briefs show "No-fly, contoured pouch provides friction-free support". If you find they're not working out for you, and they're still in new condition, you're welcome to [send them back](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html).

Great in every way.
Everything about this item is great. Material and craftsmanship are spot on. Great fit. No rolling on waist band. Love the no-fly zone, who needs it.
I got these with the hope they would be similar to the 9-trails liner, but they are not. Much thinner and stretchy by comparison, so they don't support the junk as well and the legs readily ride up the thigh and tend to bunch up in the growing area.
Hi Paul! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We're sorry to hear about the disappointment with the briefs. We'll share your comments with our design crew. Your satisfaction is always guaranteed so you're welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html).

The best
No fly? That took a little getting used to. But now I mostly wear these. When I want a fly, I wear other boxers, including Patagonia's essential boxers. But these are my go-to favorite. They're more snug, comfortable, durable, and breathable than anything else I've tried, and they do not quickly stretch out. I will keep buying them.
Great feeling underwear. Better for more extreme applications. If I were using these to MTB they'd be perfect. I use them mainly for daily wear and the occasional hike / snowboard. I would buy again for daily use other than that it's a bit snug in the crotch area.
These are a solid pair of base layer style underwear. These fit well and are a great upgrade to some of the older styles I have. Very happy with the fit and feel of these.
These I totally were a great pair of underwear. They arent as comfortable as some other brands but overall a really good pair of underwear. But I quickly developed a hole in the but of them. I would not recommend them based on how fragile the fabric seems.
Hi Ben! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We're really sorry to hear that a hole has developed in the material. This is something we'd consider a warranty issue so you're welcome to return. We've reached out to you directly with further assistance.

NO FLY!
They don't have a fly. I didn't notice that until after I had put them on and had to pee. And to do that, I had to undo my harness and belt, unzip, and pull my underpants down. What sort of idiot would design men's underpants without a fly?
Thank you for taking the time to submit this review, Chuck. Because they're constructed with a no-fly contoured pouch, flyless styles tend to offer more support than those with a fly, making them an ideal choice to wear during physical activity, and many customers prefer this style for certain undertakings. We're sorry this feature wasn't what you were looking for. If you haven't done so already, we'll be happy to help you [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) them.

My favorite underwear
I love this underwear. I have like 5 of them and they are very comfortable all day long whether at work, at home, at the gym, or travelling. Highly recommended.
Bought a pair of these from REI. I've worn them 3 times and washed 3 times. They are very comfortable but the stitching around the thigh at bottom of the leg is already coming apart. About 3" has lost the threads. It looks like it should be a strong stitch given the design but something is off! I wouldn't recommend these.
We're so sorry to hear the Men's Sender Boxer Briefs - 6" did not work out for you. We went ahead and reached out to you via email to offer some help with your return. We also passed your thoughts along to our Design Team. Thank you so much for your feedback.

Great fit, needs a front opening
Love how these fit and stay true after a whole day of wear. They are comfy, light-weight, and very breathable. Would love a front opening, though!
The Sender Boxer Briefs are a solid performer. The waist-band is well-behaved and not inclined to roll, and the seam is scarcely detectable in the back. Unlike looser Patagonia boxers styles, the legs don't tend to ride up on my lanky frame when active. They are relatively quick drying in camp settings. At home, I machine wash and air dry and ... Read Moremy older pairs remain in great shape.
Size is spot on for me. Good but not over compression although it might be good to design a more compressive pair to wear for running, surfing etc. The "new" odor control is very good; that said, it's still nowhere near merino for odor control. The material and construction is very good; these shorts are great for wear; I tried the e... Read Moressential brief to compare a couple months ago and was really disappointed in those. The leg seam blew out, separated after a month of use.
These dont have a front door which makes using the restroom a bit tricky. They are a bit snug, which in winter weather seems ok. They might not be comfortable in summer when outside and active.
When I put these on, it seemed like sliding into a zip-loc baggie. Very plastic feel, and when worn under patagonia running shorts, with each step taken, there is quite a bit of friction and noise. Great fit, great design, just not the best material.
Hey Dan, we appreciate the feedback. It sounds like the moisture-wicking 89% recycled nylon/11% spandex stretch micromesh fabric didn't work well for your needs. You might be more inclined to use a boxer brief with more natural materials, so we'd recommend checking out the [Men's Essential A/C Boxer Briefs - 6"](https://www.patagonia.com/product/mens-essential-a-c-boxer-briefs-6-inch/32565.html?dwvar_32565_color=NENA&cgid=mens-socks-underwear) which are made from 95% TENCEL lyocel.

Comfy briefs
Love these boxer briefs! They keep you warm, but they also breath well and let your parts air out. One are for improvement would be the fly - or the lack of. Should be a split to let you take a pee without hauling your drawers down!
Super lightweight boxers with awesome breath-ability. I am 510 and weigh 155. My waist is 32. By the size chart, it says I should be a medium. I ordered medium and they fit, but they are pretty snug and pull things up pretty far. I think thats because they are more suited for action sports vs casual wear. If youre looking for casual, go with the Da... Read Moreily Boxer Briefs!
These are great boxers. So comfy. But man, why no fly? If you use these to climb in the cold with multiple layers on top of them, it's a real pain to fish your way in there to take a pee!
Great piece of under wear. It took me a day or two to adjust from cotton polyester briefs. Only complaint I can make is the label did at times irritate me, seemed to disappear after first washing. As for some of the complaints of not having a fly, Ive always found a fly them to be a pita, never have used that feature past and present. Cheers!
I ordered all three boxer brief options that Patagonia offers and these are by far my favorite. The fit is spot on for an athletic build and do a great job with ventilation when I'm using them for mountain biking, hiking or just day-to-day use. Durability seems to be great, as well!
These were recommended to me by a staff member who had just worn them while hiking around Europe for a month. Personally if I were packing for a month long trip I would exclusively bring merinos but I figured their sign off was worth the try. They're fine at best, definitely not replacing my patagonia essentials boxers in the rotation.
Excellent product, use it for daily wear, back backing, and a board short liner for surfing. Has held up really well with the use, and remains a great fit!
Patagonia underwear are awesome! Every Christmas, every birthday, and then twice a year. I have about 7 pair. On my way to having only Patagonia underwear.
I have been wearing Patagonia underwear for the last 16 years. Im a wildland firefighter and choose these because they dry so quickly. I love these newer styles and my only complaint is that they all have worn in the crotch within a few months. But I am pretty hard on them.
Hello Jeff, we appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry to learn about your experience on the speed of wear on the boxer briefs.

Pure Patagonia
Perfect fit - fair price - high quality
Now, well wait a few years, and hopefully say, Long lasting!
Exactly as the description says on the website. Size is true. Very comfortable and supportive. Mesh material keeps me cool on the warm summer days and while working out. Waistband does not roll, legs do not hike up. For me close to the perfect pair of boxer briefs.
The material is very comfortable and dries quickly. The "colored rings" waistband looks nice; much nicer than one with "PATAGONIA" written around it in big, tacky letters.
The flaw in these boxers (and it's a big one) is that they lack a fly. Trying to relieve yourself out on the trail or in a bathroom is a chore.
Patagon... Read Moreia, please add a fly.
Essential A/C® Boxer Briefs are damn near perfect. The design, materials, and construction are bomb-proof.

Both the Sender and AC boxer briefs are brilliant!
I have been wearing these for years. They are the best underwear on the market. The mesh material is light and very breathable. I would suggest these to anyone looking for the best pair of underwear on the market.
Expect these boxer briefs to fit true to size, offer good support and stay super cool and wick moisture away in all conditions. they are thin enough so not to create hot spots in any of the seams with all type of additional layers. For what its worth, I appreciate them because they remind me of an AC style of past Capilene, and are as close as you ... Read Morecan get to that in a lightweight and functional piece of kit. I'll order more soon to rotate out any remaining old styles I still have. New favorites.
I use these while backpacking, climbing and hiking. They are very durable, fit well and remain comfortable though a strenuous day. Definitely a good purchase.
Great material that is comfortable all day, dries quickly, and supportive in high output situations. My improvements would be adding a fly, as well as a thicker waistband as with the rest of the essential series.
Best pair of underwear I own. Have well over a dozen so that I can wear them everyday. Great fit. Not too snug, not too loose, don't ride up. Really do not even know I'm wearing them most of the time but still supportive.
There are a lot of great things about these briefs. I tried all the types offered by Patagonia and decided these would be my daily briefs - sleep, workout, work -all day everyday.

Bought this in a rush and didn't notice they have NO FLY. TBH I didn't know men's underwear existed without a fly. Material is standard synthetic stuff. Rides up ones thighs, as most boxer briefs do.

Great fit, great performance
These are my go-to boxers for rock climbing. They are light weight, moisture wicking, and they stay in place well when taking a harness on and off.
Please keep making these just as is!
My favorite synthetic active wear boxers; used for hundreds of miles of thru hiking, trail running, and whenever I need boxers that aren't cotton. Honestly like the lack of fly for extra comfort with no seams down there. Will continue to buy as long as they exist.
I have 6 pair of Sender Boxer Briefs and they're the only underwear I own or have worn the past three years. Very comfortable fit, no stink, dry quickly, no-roll waist band (!), no annoying seams and they breathe very well. The best athletic-type underwear Ive owned.
Ordered this underwear to replace the essential boxer brief that I had and it didnt fit the same.

Amazing - glad they make these again!
I own 9 pair of these and they fit great! They stopped making these for awhile and Im glad theyre back!

Super Breathable
These are some of the most comfortable, breathable, and overall great boxer briefs I have ever worn. The material is very durable and has shown little wear over the year that I have used them. Would recommend to anyone!
I took away one star because while the fit and comfort is incredible, they pick up quite a bit of fabric lint after a handful of wears/washes, despite line drying. So, if you're the only one looking at them and use them to work out or hike, they're the best.
I use these for cool to cold weather running. So far no chafing although my longest run in them is probably about 10 miles. The fit is great, the fabric is really nice and soft with good stretch and they ride up less than any other boxer brief I've tried. Still need to pull them down occasionally but I haven't ever found a boxer brief tha... Read Moret really stays put when high stepping, squatting stretching, etc. Maybe it's the way my legs are shaped? Anyway these are the best technical fabric boxer briefs I've found and they have become my go-to running underwear for colder weather.
Fits great, feels great. Lack of fly flap is always shocking when I need to go. Makes full unbelting/buttoning necessary; tough to do in some sporting applications.
Thanks for the review! We've taken note of your comments and have passed your message along to our Design Team. If you prefer a flap, please check out our [Men's Essential Boxer Briefs - 6"](https://www.patagonia.com/product/mens-essential-boxer-briefs-6-inch/32560.html?dwvar_32560_color=NENA&cgid=root).

Hole after first run.
I've been a long time fan of my Patagonia Capilene Lightweight Boxers and hoped that these would have a similar feel and durability... Sadly, they do not. After my first wear/run a dime-sized hole appeared in the crotch seam. Definitely disappointed in the durability for the price.

Awesome Quality, Inconvenient as Hell
Love these undies. The material is awesome, they are supportive and don't get funky after a week of wear, but...why did you decide that not having a pee flap was a good idea?
I dropped them two stars because I have to revert to being 5 years-old again, unbuckle, and drop the tops of these just to pee. These are higher quality than my Ex-Offi... Read Morecios, probably more comfortable, but they are my backups on the fire line because I look like I'm back in elementary school when I have to step away from my co-workers. Seriously, I have to hide in the woods because its a whole production, just to pee. My 7 year-old made fun of me on a hike because he asked, "dad, why did you make me learn how to use the pee flap, but you don't?"
Seriously, Patagonia....step it up. Easy fix. Until then, Ex-Officios it is!
They fit well and look good, but the material feels a little sweaty/like plastic.
If I weren't struggling to find fair trade men's clothing, I'd return them.
I bought two pairs of these boxer briefs to wear as I hiked the Camino de Santiago last year, and intended to alternate them with different underwear on the trail. I ended up re-washing these every other day, because no other "performance underwear" or "hiking-friendly" underwear was as good!
I walked 15-20 miles of hard trails... Read More each day in these, and had no chafing, no discomfort, no "sweaty parts" afterwards - these did the job well, held up to abuse on the road, and were even comfortable enough to re-wash for my 15 hour flight home from Spain!
Highly recommend these for hiking! The price may be a little steep, but you won't need (or want!) any other kind of underwear after these!
Fine Patagonia quality product BUT the sizing bugaboo holds it back. I am right on a 34 waist and the large is fine in the butt and thighs for athletic folks, but the waistline barely fits. I don't understand the 31-33 and 34-36 split, especially with so many people clustered right at 34. Should be imo a 30-32/33-35/36-38 split. The size small... Read More would probably be too snug in the waist and the thighs, so if there was ever a product that needed a size M/L, this would be it. Btw, as a long-time Patagonia customer, I find that I am almost ALWAYS in between sizes for tops and bottoms. At 5'8 and 170 I don't think my build is that freaky.
Awesome active wear undies. Good for general use, too. The bits stay cool. The drawers dry quickly. Scent-free for multiple uses before the need to wash. Highly recommended.
I enjoy the fit and feel of the product. The one item causing my low score is a feature missing on the underwear. There is no opening on the front of the shorts, to facilitate bathroom use requires removing the pants.
Best brief ever, and Ive got a lot! Part of the daily wardrobe for all situations. I even use them in lieu of shorts on backpack trips. Quick dry, form fitting, and comfortable as hell!
Ive had other 6 boxer briefs that eventually ride up the leg, but these stayed put while running, hiking, and during workouts. These fit snuggly but not constricting like compression shorts. I have larger than average thighs and really enjoy these.
Love these as my "technical" underwear. Very breathable and supportive. No chafing when I use them for soccer, biking, running. Also have the hydrocross which I like more for water/surfing/etc, but these are cooler and more breathable. Great all around if you like boxer briefs... Men's medium is super comfortable fit for me, I'm... Read More a 31-32 waist for shorts and pants.
Let me say that again. Best ever. These things just disappear when you're wearing them. I bought them for running (I usually hate wearing underwear on runs but wanted to try to whole jogger pant thing...) and for gym sessions. My god, your loins will thank you. I bought 2 pairs and will probably buy 2 more, then will probably buy 2 more again.... Read More
These fit and function like a second skin. The lack of crotch hole/access is actually a bonus, since there's less fabric to fold over and chafe in that area. World's greatest underwear for any/all activity.
Light, breathable and comfortable... work at the office and on the trail. Definitely recommend. Only drawback is that they don’t seem to hold up as long as my capilene daily boxers have.
They still ride up when i cycle. Not all the way, but still riding up. Little loose at the waist, good fit on the thighs but not falling off, good feel. I feel like id be to big for a small but I could be wrong. Defentially not going back to hanes, will order more. Hopefully ill gain some weight in the mean time
These boxers have been great to me. I also have the Essential boxer briefs and the HydroCross, but this is a special pair. Very breathable for running and when they never got too saturated even after a full day of activities.
Best boxer briefs I’ve gotten in a long time. Super comfortable! I love how comfortable the waistband is. I literally forget I’m wearing them and they give great support to the package.
More comfortable and durable than their previous active boxer briefs. Once you remove the label you forget you are wearing them. I buy the green (I like the material better than the black... even though you would think its identical material, I think the black is slightly thicker).
I wore Tommy John underwear prior to trying these. I have to say these are much better in form, fit and quality. My only complaint is the very long care instructions tag. I wish the tag wasn’t there and the care instructions were printed on the underwear. That being said, be careful cutting the tag off. I slipped and cut a hole in one of the four p...

I didn't notice the wording in the product description that these briefs have no fly until after I received them and went back to review the details. How does one function without a fly?

My favorite underwear
These are my favorite underwear. I think they recently changed their tag design in the back though so I’m cutting off my tags because they’re annoying. Given that, they’re still my favorite.
I've been a buyer of Patagonia underwear since 2010. Normally the best on the market for backpacking, sports, or any kind of high intensity activity.
This is the best fitting & feeling pair I've bought, but don't expect it to last more than 4-5 months. I bought 3 pairs a few months ago and 2 have already ripped/shredded. It star... Read Morets with small holes in the mesh then it completely comes apart. Not very durable.
I've tried Patagonia briefs in the past but have never found the perfect fit. These fit! So far, my favorite undies. Love the stripes without visable branding. Fit is good and they stay up. Breathe well. These are the whole package.
much improved from other underwear I've purchased from Patagonia in the past. They don't bunch, they're comfortable, they dry relatively quickly and are OK in the not stinking department
Always looking for underwear to give the boys the love they deserve, I thought I'd again try Patagonia's active underwear. I'm a huge fan of the Capilene Daily-Cool hoodies and the Tropic Comfort hoodies so I was hoping these would measure up. I bought a couple pair then promptly went on a nice 20-mile hike in the Columbia River Gorg... Read Moree (muggy and warm that day). Based on that and just wearing them around town under pants/shorts, Patagonia has a winner with the Sender Boxer briefs. They are very comfortable, very light in weight,, manage moisture very well, have a great waistband, are extremely breathable and seem to manage odor well with the odor control fabric.
I am a 33-34" waist and could wear a medium or large, but I chose the large because they fit me just a bit better in the thigh and the length seemed to be a bit better for me. The waistband never did roll even while carrying a pack. That being said, all the other underwear is gone and is being replaced with Senders. Very, very pleased with these.
cool, comfortable, quick-drying, odor resistant. Very happy with these for multi-day backpacking trips, they're quickly becoming a go-to for everyday comfort as well
the quality was fine. but, for some reason they slip off my waste--i'm 5foot 5.5 tall, 32 waist and 155 lbs. old athlete build. just kept slipping down
not so good with boxers, right? otherwise i like your stuff.
Sorry to hear that the Briefs have been a disappointment. You're welcome to [return](https://is.gd/DQq2nw) them to a Patagonia-owned store or send them in for a refund or merchandise credit.

Only thing I wear now
I cannot go back to my old underwear after buying these. I love how breathable they are since they keep me cool while walking to work in the summer. They are very comfy, last a long time and look great. I do wish it did not have a tag. However, the tag does not bother me.
When these arrived I thought they might be too small but once you put them on, even though they're snug, the fit is nice. I was right in between a size M and size L on the sizing chart too (size 33 waist). These are perfect for what I need, would definitely recommend.
as a lifelong freeballer its been some 28years since I've owned a pair of undies. (not withstanding the 6 pack of Bonds mum tries to force feed me every christmas that i just 'gift' to my bro) then a few weeks back I was in the changerooms and happened to see an elderly man starkers. Bruddah man was 80ish and puttin his shorts on. An... Read Mored bruddah man was a fellow-freeballer! maybe even the OG. You'd think I'd be stoked to BUT NO NO, far from it. just picture two snooker balls in a pair of Grandads old long lawn bowls socks- gravity had not been kind to him.
I had a bit of a come-to-jesus moment and knew this would be me in 50 odd years. I rushed out purchased two flash pair's of duds from Patagonia.... Well! let me tell you- the old tighty-whities have come along way in 28years. These undies are THE BOMB!! Im gonna order more pairs. Thankyou from my future 80 y/o self.
