I like boxer briefs a lot and these are the best I have tried. Others have been Polo Ralph Lauren, Nautica, Helfiger. What makes these stand out is the comfort of the fabric. It's thinner and more flexible than most for a really comfortable fit and feel. One odd thing I'd like to mention is that these are made in Viet Nam and the Philippines - maybe other places also. I think the ones made in the Philippines are slightly better quality.
