These boxer briefs did an excellent job of repelling moisture build-up, and the fit stayed true after multiple wearings during an international trip. They also have a traditional fly, and, thanks to their porous texture, even look texturally interesting. However, the Ex Officio Give-N-Go 2.0 feels more pliable, tougher-they contain nylon instead of polyester-and have an awesome fit. Similar to the Adidas Performance, these are made with a stretchy mesh fabric that’s highly breathable and great for everyday wear and exercise alike. The Ex Officio Give-N-Go 2.0 is pricier than your typical pair of boxer briefs, but if you’re willing to invest in incredibly soft, super durable, odor-free, and stay-put underwear, these are a premium pair of underwear.

Colors: Available in five colors, including black and gray, and two patterns.Polyester isn’t the coziest material, but it is useful for wicking moisture-hence why it’s a favorite fabric for athletic apparel. If there were any negatives with these boxer briefs, it’s that they could feel softer to the touch. While sitting in an office chair for work during testing, the fabric was highly breathable. They’re made of a stretchy polyester/spandex material that wicks away moisture and clings to your legs without feeling too tight or too loose. Even on the most humid days, they didn’t bunch up while walking, the waistband stayed put all day, and they never rode up during workouts. Wearing them was barely noticeable, no matter the activity-something we can’t say across the board.

For their value, airiness, and fit, Adidas Performance boxer briefs are worth every penny.

Of all the boxer briefs we tested, no pair was quite as versatile, comfortable, and durable as the Adidas Performance.

Colors: Available in two-packs: white and white, black and black, red and black, blue and gray, gray and black.
