Full-cut, lightweight briefs for men who want to get away from cotton next-to-skin and appreciate q
Keep it brief, you say? Full-cut for comfort, the highly breathable, featherweight Active Briefs keep you dry while providing a measure of support during cool-weather activities. The soft, quick-drying waistband won't chafe or snag on overlayers, and the nonrestrictive elasticized legs have rolled-out seams for next-to-skin softness. With a contoured fit and easy-access, functional fly. Made in USA. Common Threads Recycling ProgramResearch shows that the environmental impact of recycling worn-out Capilene base layers into new polyester fiber is significantly lower than making that same fiber from virgin materials. Taking into account that worn-out garments are diverted from trash incinerators, making new polyester fiber from recycled garments results in an energy savings of 76% and a CO2 emissions [greenhouse gasses] reduction of 71%, versus creating that fiber from new raw material. Capilene Core PerformanceCapilene base layers afford quick-drying, next-to-skin moisture management for all activities in all conditions ? from high-altitude bivies to sun-soaked water sports.

Great travel companions
These briefs are expensive but last a long time and retain their fit unlike some other cheaper brands.

Mentionables
My favorite brief, along with the Active Boxer Brief. Lightweight, dries fast, nice support. I have briefs from another manufacturer and these are a much better quality product.

excellent underwear
these underwear fit nice and tight and are therefore very supportive. They do an good job wicking and stopping odors too. I have a 34" waist and am 180 PBS and the mediums fit perfectly. I am planning to buy more pairs.
