I’ve had great luck with these guys. Very long lasting and silver so they’re anti microbial. Just as a test to see if I was being duped, I wore the first pair of socks for almost 2 weeks straight to see if my wife would notice. I gave up and finally washed them, but they never smelled. It was magic. Same with the undies. Wore both running around south east Asia in the summer and they never let me down. Highly recommend Y Athletics

You mean underwear that is uncomfortable AF and still wears out, and is so uncomfortable that you don’t want a replacement pair free or not?

I assume the ones from patagonia are nice and they offer a great warranty but I'm not paying that much for underwear...

Icebreaker makes the best merino underwear I've ever used, I've tried quite a few brands. Source: 4 weeks on the Tour Divide unsupported mountain bike race.

My vote (not wool though) is Ex Officio, i had to retire a few of my oldest pairs recently, but 10 years for a pair of underwear is pretty damn good. anti-microbial, easy to wash/dry, etc.

I’m trying to imagine sending well-worn underwear back to the company for a new set. LOL.

I’ve been rolling with Duluth Armachillo for a few years and they’re holding up pretty well.

Seconding Duluth. Buck Naked Bullpen. Don't get the super soft. They are nice and soft, but don't wick as well, aren't scent resistant, and the regular buck naked dries very fast to boot. Haven't tried the armachillo or no funk so no comment there.

Also, OP, from what I found the best option all around is going to be BN3TH, they have a wool boxer but it's. Too pricey for me to try right now...

Duluth. The armachillo are great for summer/warm weather, and buck naked for the rest of the year. I prefer pairs with the bullpen.

The armachillo are great. I live in Texas and do a lot of work outside (construction/carpentry) and they’re the only ones I’ll wear when it’s 100°+ all summer

I bought some icebreaker stuff last year. I thought the quality was poor for the price. But what I really do not like about them is that the seams are in the wrong place. There seems to be chafing in areas that I never knew existed before.

They are made in China if that affects peoples opinions. (Doesn’t bother me personally.)

I know this isn’t what you asked for, but Saxx are super comfortable and very high quality. I haven’t seen a single hole or tear even in my oldest pairs (like 4 years)

Icebreaker underwear is absolute junk. Expensive and doesn’t last long. Had multiple pairs get holes in them even when washing in wool wash only. Smartwool right now has been amazing and way more comfortable.

Hear me out! I bought some Reebok boxer briefs a couple years ago on clearance and I think they’re about the best underwear I’ve ever owned don’t know how long they’re gonna last but so far so good

I’ve tried Smartwool, Ex-Officio, and Icebreaker since having the same question a few years back. Of those, only the Smartwool remain, and I caught a sale last year to stock my whole drawer. Ex-O and Icebreaker were both less comfortable and one got a hole near a seam pretty quickly while the other’s elastic was shot pretty quickly (can’t remember which was which but knew I wasn’t going to buy more).

My brother swears by Duluth. I'm in the school of thought that this is one item I'd like to cycle out, bifl underwear just doesn't do it for me lol. Selfish, not environmentally friendly etc, but que sera

Not sure if I'll get downvoted or not but I've been running about 6 pairs of Adidas 9" boxer briefs for the past year and a half and they still look new. Had some New Balance that the seat tore out after about 4 months of once a week wear. So far these are by far my favorite underwear I've ever bought. Love the long leg too as i get the issue of the legs riding up and having to adjust constantly.

Seconding the Saxx recomendation. I got them after seeing a recomendation here, have been wearing two pairs for the past two years and they are as good as new. Always sad when I arrivee at my non-Saxx underwear in the rotation.

I rocked my first 3 pairs for over 10 years. They were the best by far. I have had several iterations of the same give-n-gos since and none have performed as well. A couple seemed close, but none hit that bar. I am actively searching for the next great pair myself.

Folks here might turn their nose up, but I swear by the Costco Kirkland brand boxer briefs. They're very comfortable, and last as long as any other undies I've ever owned. I've had synthetic undies that lasted longer, but I prefer cotton for comfort. And they're $11 for a three pack.

First Lite. Hunting company. I've worn their Merino boxers for the last 5 years, no major complaints.

They’re comfortable enough once I have them on and have been very durable for me, but the process of putting them on makes me think DT doesn’t actually understand the shape of a human foot. It’s like they’re meant for people who have long narrow tubes for feet.

Used to be camp duluth, but about a year and a half ago I’ve switched over to 2undr. Definitely not bifl but will last you 2+ years of daily rotational wear and super comfortable!
