My first priority when it comes to underwear is the fit.  I like a sense of security down there, and alot of competitors don't provide that.  Hanes for instance has a much more affordable set of trunks, but the fit is terrible.  These have a pouch that fits around things perfectly.  I would prefer a longer leg, these come down maybe a little further than boxer-briefs, but not much.  Overall, these are my first choice in underwear... for now.
