![]() ![]() I used the Woolx Merino Boxer Briefs for the first time on the Helgafell trail in Iceland. ![]() This means that you probably won’t be able to wash them together with other hiking clothes unless all your clothes are made of wool. This is the biggest downside, but it applies to almost all Merino wool clothing. The briefs are machine-washable but can only be washed in cold water. I quickly noticed the difference in drying time when I was drying the Woolx Merino Boxer Briefs for the first time. In general Merino wool clothing takes longer time to dry than synthetic clothing but this is not a problem since clothing made of Merino wool provides warmth also when wet – a natural characteristic of Merino wool. The legs are also a bit longer than the legs of the underwear I usually wear. On the contrary, I think this actually increases the comfort. Therefore, the fit is not completely tight. One thing I noticed is that these briefs are less stretchy than the briefs made out of synthetic materials, which I usually wear on my hiking trips. The briefs are also equipped with a functional fly which comes in handy on long hiking tours. The flatlock seams don’t cause any rubbing or chaffing. The great fit is ensured with the elastic waist band which is not only comfortable but also good looking. Comfort, fit and functionalityĪs I already said the material provides great comfort. Merino wool keeps you warm when it’s cold and cool when it’s hot. Many people still think that Merino wool is only appropriate for cold conditions but this is a myth. The material makes these briefs extremely comfortable and appropriate for year-round use. It also has a great moisture wicking, odor-resistance and temperature regulating characteristics. This wool is extremely soft and doesn’t cause any itching. It means that the wool is less than 17.5 microns in diameter. 17.5 micron Merino wool is the finest grade of merino wool also referred to as ultrafine merino. Woolx Merino Boxer Briefs are made of 100% 17.5 micron Australian Merino wool with the density of 160 g/m2. ![]()
