Base Layer
 |
Think of your Base Layer as your second skin. These are your first layers on and your last layers off. These foundation layers should be thermal, moisture-wicking, and breathable. Proper layering of your garments is very important and in extreme cases may save your life. Consider your activities carefully and plan for the unexpected. Learn more about layering. |
Relaxed Fit
 |
A little more room than you would find in a Regular fit. Best alone, or as a mid, insulating, or outer layer. If you would like a tighter fit, try going to the next size down. Learn About Fit & Sizing. |
Flat Lock Seams
 |
Flat lock seams allow for ultimate comfort, preventing chafing and allowing your clothes to move with you. Flat lock seams are stronger, helping your garments last. |
Fly
 |
This product DOES have a fly opening. |
Total Easy Care
 |
Total Easy Care (TEC) Merino apparel is designed for today’s busy lifestyle. Total Easy Care Merino garments are all machine-washable, and are suitable for tumble drying. Even after frequent laundering they retain an ‘as new’ appearance. They won’t shrink, lose their shape, fade or color-bleed. They remain soft and comfortable for the life of the garment. TEC is a textile innovation used by Minus33 that was developed by the Woolmark Company. |
Moisture Wicking
 |
Minus33 Merino Wool regulates the amount of moisture on your skin by absorbing any moisture or sweat on your body. Then, the absorbed moisture evaporates out of the fabric into the atmosphere. Wool is a classic natural insulator, but is just as effective in warmer weather due to its rapid moisture wicking ability. Learn more about wool properties. |
Anti-Microbial and Odor Resistant
 |
With less moisture comes less odor. Minus33 Merino Wool resists against microbes and odor, so foot fungus and smelly odor will NOT be a problem while wearing our products. Merino Wool fibers naturally reject any bacteria in moisture or sweat as it is wicked away. This means you don’t have to wash wool as often. Less laundry means less water being used, benefiting our planet. Learn more about wool properties. |
Insulates When Wet
 |
Wool will absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet or clammy. If you do get wet, whether it be from sweat, weather, or water bodies, wool will insulate you better than cotton or polyester materials. This is especially important if you are in a survival situation, and can help prevent or delay hypothermia depending on the conditions. Learn more about wool properties. |
Fire Resistant
 |
Merino Wool insulates against high temperatures and does not readily catch fire. If it does, it self-extinguishes. When Merino burns, it doesn’t melt and stick to the skin like synthetic fabrics do. For this reason, merino is popular among military, firefighting, and law enforcement communities. Learn more about wool properties. |
UV Protection
 |
Don’t worry about sunburn on a sunny day summiting a peak. Lightweight layers have a UPF rating of 25. Midweight and Expedition have a UPF rating of 50+. Learn more about wool properties. |

Hi, I purchased these because they are cheaper than the Acadian boxers that Minus33 sells. If you like those ones, stick with them. These fit in the waist, but are pretty loose in the leg. Personally, I like the Acadian boxers much better. These might be better in warmer temperatures, due to the loose fit.

Softest boxer shorts ever! They are incredibly comfy and indeed perfect for hanging around at home, at camp or in front of a crackling fire in a remote mountain cabin! (the last one is pretty amazing, give it a try!) I see a review mentioning some looseness in the legs and I would agree on that. However, it is a "relaxed fit" and so fits the description perfectly. I personally have a hard time with tightness in the crotch area, so they work very well for me. Think of it as your treat after a long day of braving the elements!
