These are best suited for running or working out in place of compression shorts. I found that they're too tight to be comfortable in any other setting - I prefer the lightweight simplicity of the regular old Hanes boxer briefs.  Also, although it is not stated in the product description, these sit a little too low on the hips for my taste.  If you're somewhat tall (6'2) like me, this can result in the classic plumber's butt scenario.
