Ridge Merino Men's Ridge Boxer Brief - Merino Wool

Like all of their stuff, these Ridge underwear are top quality. I bit the bullet and bought 7 pairs which was exorbitantly expensive, yes..but if you value staying comfortable during work and play as much as I do, it is well worth it. They are holding up incredibly well, due to Ridge's ingenious mixture of merino wool and nylon- the ONLY brand that does so. Take it from an abuser of garments- if you buy merino wool, always buy from Ridge and always ensure you are buying clothing which has a mixture of wool and nylon. Approximately 84% wool to 16% nylon seems to be just about perfect and Ridge has figured this out. These will keep you feeling dry and comfortable for extended periods no matter the weather or activity. Even when soaked with sweat, these underwear (like all high quality wool) feel great. I tell anyone who listens that I have owned wool from all the top brands, and I am telling you for a certainty that none of those brands compare to Ridge. I have been buying Ridge clothing for myself and as gifts for friends and family with 100% overwhelmingly positive results and satisfaction for years. Please buy from them; you will thank me.

Best fitting pair of boxers I’ve ever worn, stays dry all day! keeps air circulating so you can keep working comfortably. I bought 6 more pairs! It’s the only thing I will wear now! Life hack if you buy this!

Comfortable and soft. Nice band.

I'm a big fan of a particular cotton boxer-brief form a on-line retailer and have sworn by them for years. However, having done some work with a green/eco start-up I've become more aware of how I spend my $ on clothing and it's impact on the planet. The more natural, chemical free items now attract my attention. I also travel a lot so being able to pack less is intriguing. This is the first pair of merino boxers I have tried and they have surpassed my expectations. They are extremely comfortable and remain supportive all day long. But best of all they keep me super cool and dry and as the SoCal summers get hotter every year, that's becoming essential. I would never normally try this, but wore them for 5 days straight on a road trip to Baja and they were as fresh as the day I first put them on. I will never buy non-merino boxers again and look forward to traveling with less clothing as I get more of these products!

I loved Ibex Woolies boxer briefs but they were twice the price and now out of production. I tried other brands but the cut was not very good or the elastic waist band was not very durable. These Ridge merino boxers are the best quality in fabric and fit I have been able to find. Superb value and quality. Really good front to back fit. Good elastic. True to size. So far have been as durable as the Ibex boxers which was excellent. I have three pair and will buy more as my Ibex pairs eventually wear out.

Went to annual training. Spent half the time doing training missions in the woods. Other half the time we hauled bombs in a line haul truck 1600 miles. Very little laundry access and terrible facilities. Chose wool for antimicrobial attributes, hygiene, and moisture wicking. Other service members were visibly struggling from their sythetic/nylon/spandex/cotton undergarments due to summer heat, field conditions, etc. The light base layer wool enabled me to remain cool, comfortable, and level headed (instead of feeling and thinking about the physical misery of the field). I am in a leadership position within the unit so this helped me greatly - I didn't need to make emotional decisions and could maintain decision making under stress. I am not paid by anyone to write this. I learned about wool base layers from hunting. It was only natural to apply the lessons. I also used wool socks. Best pro tip ever for Soldiers - Fox River military socks are awesome and I've used them for 4 years. I found the wool to be superior moisture control.

I received my men’s boxers just before a trip, so now that I’ve been wearing them for several weeks I feel I can actually rate them. I had several pairs of 150-merino from Woolrich that proved to me that wool was a good product, but they developed holes very quickly. So I purchased a set from both Wooly & Ridge. The Ridge product is far superior to the others. They wear well and fit true to size. Also easy to care for and to wash out on travel. I’m going to order more for my next trip.

Great boxers. I love Ridge Merino. My advice is to not ever machine wash it and only handwash with kookaburra then lay flat to dry. Otherwise these will quickly form holes (1-2 machine washes).

I have used it for a few days and washed afterwards, comfortable to wear, fitting well and washed without issue
