Fruit of the Loom CoolZone Boxer vs Smartwool Merino 150 Boxer Brief - Men's

Just a suggestion but all we want is underwear, socks, etc. There really is no need to give them fancy marketing names. Coolzone, ultra-soft, etc. Put your effort into providing tangible info about your goods

Let's be honest, who doesn't want a pair of ultra soft boxer briefs to keep you comfortable, cool and dry as you tackle your day, these lightweight br...

They fit tight, under the regular clothes and keep the bits and pieces from running amok. These do a better job than most and do it comfortably. (I see it has a place to upload a picture.

I purchased one pair of these to see if they would serve the same purpose and for the most part, they do. The waist band is larger, which isn't an issue, but unlike the previous model that had a flat seam along the bottom of waistband, there are a couple of vertical flat seams in the waistband that could be a problem if you load weight along this area. No complaints other that that, great pair that is comfortable.

The COOLZONE I haven't really notice anything to comment on yet. Maybe after the weather warms up, I can give some more feedback. The feel of the material was nothing special to me.

Too small. Too snug. Shorter on the torso and too snug in the junk area. Why the shrinkage of real estate Smartwool? I've worn SW for years, and now you get skinny jeans fit?

My initial impressions are that these briefs feel like a much higher quality product compared to the Hanes brand which completely fell apart after a couple of months. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because I want to see how well they hold up in the long term. Other than that I'm very satisfied with the quality of these briefs.

Either they didn't feel right next to my skin or they were just too hot. (4) They must keep their shape and wear well over time. The winners all do that. The honorable mentions all do that except for the Tommy John Cotton and Izod Lacoste Cotton Modal which tended to wear quickly

they shortened that section out.Fruit of the Loom has also lowered the standard on feel as well.

These are completely straight cut. No contouring what so ever, which means zero support and not much comfort.

Had to exchange at store, since sizing had changed since last purchase of this type. Thinner fabric that last Fruit of the Loom purchase, but 5 pair for the price was good.

I am a six foot, six inch guy who goes on lots of back country adventures. I purchased these to explore moving from synthetic clothing to natural fibers. After a summer backpacking trip in the Colorado wilderness and a rafting trip down the Grand Canyon, I am very impressed with these boxers. Smartwool definitely lived up to their sterling reputation with these boxers

I'm not a big man so nothing would hang out. So if the good folks at Fruit could add a couple more colors I'd be styling and there'd be no confusion if it was Monday or Thursday

Plus, they're designed to last, so you won't have to replace them nearly as often as other brands. I'm not saying you should replace all of your underwear at once, but after wearing one pair, you might find yourself wanting to make the transition to merino wool.Smartwool Merino 150 Boxer Briefs, $45, available on REI and Amazon Senior Reporter, Insider Reviews Amir Ismael is a senior reporter for Insider Reviews, Insider's e-commerce branch of the service journalism team.

- the PRICE is excellent compared to several other brands that fit less well and that offer less crotch support

Unfortunately that’s not the case, even though I’ve had great success wearing their socks for years now but I digress. 50 dollars almost feels like highway robbery at this point I’m about 95% sure I could spend 50 dollars on value packs of underwear today and never have to buy underwear again in my life. If you’re considering buying this you better be rich, or never spend 50 bucks on this pair of underwear.
