Joe Boxer is well known among the generic brands… for what I’m not sure. I haven’t been impressed with their brand and this pair of underwear is no exception.
The material is a blend of 90% cotton and 10% lycra. It makes for an extremely warm, pair of underwear. The fabric is abnormally thick and very bulky when worn under shorts or pants.
The fit is very uncomfortable. It’s made to “sit tight,” which it does… very tight. I found the combination of bulkiness and tightness to restrict some movement. The waist is also on the small side and the legs creep up making an already bulky pair of underwear even bulkier.
Support is ok, but the construction of the fly is incredibly uncomfortable. Its not a traditional fly, but a pouch. The seam on the inside is in an awkward place making for constant contact with ones junk. The fly design itself isn’t very secure. Let’s just say you don’t want to go running in these.
Ride-up is also an issue. You’ll either be adjusting your front or your back in these.
As far as generics go, they’re a bit pricey too.
Overall extremely disappointing. One pair to be avoided.
Yikes I've tried regular j.b. and thought that the size was, off and being on the large side. Yes they are bulky leleaving the fashioned style ones to thin. I feel there is a rare happy medium with j.b..
