Read the whole article from Outside Online:
....I have worn the Balance Boxers for a few months, including for running, biking, and on long trips in the outdoors. They are my go-to underwear for most pursuits, as the wool fabric is breathable when you sweat and comfortable for long stretches outside. Wool can help with temperature regulation, hot or cold, as well.
In southern Chile this winter on a wilderness trip, I wore the boxers for almost a week straight. This was extreme, but the shorts are made to be wearable for days between washings and usually will not stink.
Beyond use as underwear, some people run or hike in these boxer shorts alone. They are thick enough to pull it off and are ultimately breathable in this scenario. But if you're at all shy, the Balance Boxers alone may be an extreme move.
I love my Balance Runner shorts (longer in the inseam than the Balance Boxers), however I'm highly disappointed that they no longer appear to be in production, what gives?
