Review: Comparison with ExOfficio and other Calvin Klein boxer briefs - I've tried many boxer briefs and this Modal is my favorite. Lightweight and exceptionally breathable (great for hotter weather), stretchy with medium snugness (not loose, not tight), and amazingly soft (much better than cotton), with a very comfortable microfiber waistband. I barely know that I'm wearing them, which to me is the best sign of a quality brief. What makes it great is the 92% modal fabric (a type of rayon that has some remarkable advantages over all other materials I've tried). Here are comparisons with other boxer briefs that I've tried: vs. ExOfficio GiveNGo: The ExOfficio has a slightly looser, less snug fit. It also had a big durability issue for me. Prior to washing (straight out of the box), I wore the ExOfficios in some regular jeans while doing some outdoor work, with lots of crouching. Because of the normal abrasion of the jeans on the briefs, the ExOfficio's mesh-like material frayed severely in multiple places. The Modal in comparison has a tighter woven, stronger, non-mesh fabric. Also, after a few washes, I've noticed that the ExOfficio has lost much of its initial softness. vs. Calvin Klein Steel Micro: The material is just as soft (maybe more so) as the Modal but a little heavier. It is more form fitting and snug and actually keeps things in place better than the Modal (which can have a slightly baggy appearance around the crotch). Very flattering smooth fit. Extremely comfortable and a little more durable as it is a bit thicker and more densely woven than the Modal (the fabric is also different -- a 89% nylon that Calvin Klein describes as a "steel microfiber"). Because of this though, it doesn't breathe as well. Another minor drawback is the big dramatic waistband, which can fold over easily accidentally because it is so wide. The Modal is noticeably cooler to wear in the warmer months (as is much more breathable), but the Steel Micro is my favorite brief for the colder months. vs. Calvin Klein Micro (or "CK One Micro"): This lightweight brief is has the tightest fit (a little too much so) of all other Calvin Klein models I've tried and makes the Modal seems almost loose in comparison. It's 89% nylon and soft but it's breathability is a bit less than the Modal. Also, after about a dozen washes, the fabric formed some minor pilling (little balls of fabric that stick to the brief) on the interior, mainly around the crotch area where the fabric is thicker. Not good. vs. Calvin Klein Microfiber: These briefs have a form fitted, snug and athletic look that is actually quite flattering and attractive. The problem is that, aside from being a little too tight for me, the 90% polyester blend is a relatively uncomfortable fabric. It feels MUCH different than the modal – scratchy, shiny and slippery (that feels odd next to jeans), and it doesn’t breathe as well. The Modal has a notably more comfortable, softer, more relaxed, "I barely know it's there" feel. vs. Calvin Klein Cotton Stretch Boxer Brief (3-pack): The softness on this brief doesn't remotely compare to the Modal. Despite being all cotton, they are surprisingly rough. They are also a tad heavy and constricting. They don't breathe that well. The "stretch" is also fairly pathetic; they are too tight and aren't nearly as forgiving as the Modal. Also, the waistband is awful -- it's on the tight side, and the fabric is extremely rough and irritating. They are much cheaper, but the Modal is on a whole different level of quality. vs. any cheap 100% cotton boxer briefs (including Calvin Klein models): Don't do it! They are cheap for a reason. Of the many that I've tried and owned, none are as soft as this Modal, plus cotton tends to be heavy and doesn't do well in warmer weather (once you start sweating, they don't dry out easily and then it feels like you are wearing a diaper). Also, if they aren't the stretchy kind, they tend to be excessively baggy in the crotch area (to accommodate different sizes). Spend the extra $ for a more flattering and comfortable fit. vs. trunks, and the ride-up factor: I recommend staying away from trunks, as their short length makes them prone to ride-up. The Modal has little to no ride-up, as is typical of most boxer briefs. Note that the Modal it is not super snug though, so the fabric can move around a *little* bit. I've owned this Modal for a while and for the most part, they are still like new. If they become looser with time, it is slight; in fact, I have one that is two years old and another I just purchased, and it is hard to tell them apart. I wash mine in cold water and line dry because I'm extra careful, but that probably isn't necessary (warm water and low dryer heat should suffice). Remarkably, there are still as soft as ever and have retained their color and shape after countless washes (these are typical qualities of the modal fabric). There has never been any fraying or pilling. Durability is very good, though one of the five I own one did develop a 1/4" hole in the back (but hasn't grown over many months, so I still wear it). Though the fabric is strong, it IS thinner than many other briefs, so it can be vulnerable to tears relative to the heavier briefs.
Review: The best underwear out there - For a long time, I bought value packs of Hanes underwear. $8 for a pack of 3 - why bother paying extra to get one CK brief when I can get 9 pairs of underwear for the same price? Then I got one of these as a gift and slowly started replacing all the underwear I owned with these. I prefer boxer briefs since they feel like the best of both worlds. The support and tightness of a brief, but the style of boxers. The material holds elasticity to not ride up. The material is very breathable. These are silky smooth, soft, and form fitting. It's like wearing lotion. The male form isn't the most beautiful thing to see, but these are shaped well enough to look good on guys. There isn't a flap in front, which may or may not bother some guys, but the way this thing is cut and the way it makes a package look it worth the trade off. Guys can be vain too. It might not be Victoria's Secret sexy, but this is Victor's Secret and is about as flattering as a guy can get. I've washed these over and over and they are holding up very well. The elastic bands on the cheaper underwear from Hanes and other brands eventually wears out and begins to fray. I haven't experienced that with these boxers at all. Over time, I'm sure that these will make up for the higher cost since I haven't had to replace any of the CK underwear I have owned in the past few years. These are also very good for road warriors who need to pack light. They compress to almost nothing and are feather light. The micro modal material also dries very quickly, so for a road warrior/traveling businessman who is stuck for a few extra days more than expected, these can be quickly washed in a hotel sink at night and be dry a few hours later. Worth it for the price? Definitely. If you are a guy (or buying for one) who has never bought underwear outside of value packs from WalMart, try these out; just be prepared to buy more to replace your entire underwear drawer. I don't think I can even go back to the value packs of underwear. They issue that stuff to convicts in prisons to punish them for their crimes. A free man on the outside deserves to have good underwear.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Underwear shopping review
*by D***W on February 4, 2014*

I decided to treat myself and try to find some super comfortable underwear. I was hesitant to spend ~$20 on a single pair but I'm glad I did. I bought 3 different styles to try and find a kind I preferred. Calvin Klein Micro Modal boxer briefs Pros: super soft fabric; light weight Cons: the fabric (I bought white) is so thin you can basically see through it. I suspect they will be nice and cool in the summer but I worry they will wear poorly. These are also a "spandex" type stretch/compression fit. They aren't confining, but I prefer boxer briefs that have a roomier pocket but are still supportive. Calvin Klein Steel Micro boxer briefs Pros: soft fabric; light weight but not as soft as the modal boxers. Definitely heavier weight material. These don't ride up my legs at all Cons: These are also a stretch/compression fit but not as snug as the modals. Note that Zinnia Burst is not red like the picture but really bright pink. Mack Weldon Boxer Brief http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BL92AHA/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A129X8PMBE8Q7Y I bought these from the Weldon website - they are the same price but shipping is half the price - so I don't think I can leave a review. These are my winners. The fabric is soft, smooth, and light weight like the CK modals but of a good thickness that they aren't transparent. They have lots of clever features that undies don't usually have (see their website) like venting, a clear fly, and seems put in non irritating spots. The fit is supportive but not snug with a well defined front pocket. Cons: non so far. They are all good but the Weldon's are the best I've ever worn... I've only cycled all three threw 2 wash and wear cycles so I can't comment on wear and tear.....
