I bought these primarily for exercise/walking and they work well for that.  I had previously purchased the Champion Mens Tech Performance  Boxer Briefs, which were about twice the price. They have a mesh insert in the crotch which is supposed to assist with ventilation, but the insert is not as soft as the other material and irritates my skin.  So I much prefer this less expensive version.  Those with a more trim waistline than mine may not have a problem.  I just want to highlight the difference for buyers to consider.
