Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I got the all-black 5-pack. I'd give 3.5 stars if I could..the pros and cons on what I received are listed below... There are several things I like about these: - good support for the legs and buttocks and firm fit - great price - solid waistband - no big company name on the waistband (Yay! It's MY underwear, darnit...I don't want some other person's name written across it in huge letters) There were a couple of things, however, that I did not expect, as they did not really match the photos (see below). I'll preface these cons by saying that I usually buy the significantly more-expensive Darid Archy micro-modal boxer briefs, so I'm a little spoiled. If I were coming from cheap store-bought cotton boxer-briefs, I would likely have been more impressed. - The "3D contour pouch is pretty small: Compared to some of the higher-end brands, the pouch was not at all generous size-wise. I consider myself to be fairly average in that region, things are a bit crowded together in the center region with these. Also unlike the pouches of some higher-end brands, the junk isn't really held away from the thigh really at all (more like a just a seam that makes it look like there should be a pouch), so the junk still rubs against the skin of the inner thigh with no cloth between them, which can cause skin irritation on long hikes in hot or humid climates, etc. - Unusually high waisted: When pulled up to proper height for the rest to fit correctly, the waistband stops just about one inch below my navel, which is unusually high (and I'm 6'2" tall), and the waistband sits well above the waistline of a normal pair of pants. However, I found that I can easily get around this issue by folding the waistband downward once, and then they sit at the proper height. If it weren't for the two issues mentioned above, I would have probably given this item 5 stars. I will likely keep these, but don't think I would buy more.
