After buying my husband the modal trunks and him loving them so much...I came back to order these. They are just as soft as the underwear and mu husband says just as comfy. The only negative is that they are a little on the long side. My husband isn't short (5'10") but these drag the floor a good bit. I held them up to each of his other 4 pairs of lounge pants and these are longer than all of them.
