Players Men's Tricot Nylon Boxer Short

Very comfortable

This is an initial review after wearing them a few times. I like the light breathable feel that doesn't easily get bunched up or constricting like a cotton boxer can. I've also worn the Kohl's microfiber boxers for more than a decade with business clothes and they are clearly more durable than these Players boxers, however you just can't beat the feel and breathability of nylon fabric. This is a choice you are consciously making if you know anything about fabrics.My only real gripe is that they are a bit expensive for what they are. They look somewhat cheap to me, however they seem sturdy enough. Time will tell there. Mostly I think its that there isn't a lot of competition out there, so they can charge more and not put a lot of effort into them. Kohls' microfiber boxers are the best alternative I've found, but definitely not an apples to apples comparison.As to the sizing issue people have noted, I did as suggested and went 2 sizes up from what I would have otherwise selected (Large to 2xl). I'm a large in FOTL cotton, so I went with 2xL for this first pair of Players. Its almost too large, and if they were any bigger they'd fall right off. I don't notice the issue people are saying where they don't stretch. I can easily stretch these out 3+ inches from my waist with little effort. I think in 2022, you could just go with your normal size, or +1 if you want to make sure they are looser. Maybe they've updated the sizing or construction or its down to personal preference... Either way I'd suggest you only buy 1 pair first to verify sizing, then adjust as necessary. 2x up was basically too big for me, and this fabric doesn't shrink with washing.

Like nylon boxer; not easy to find; overall colors; softness; durabilityDislike - sizing inconsistent Have to order extra large to keep fly fully closed. But xl inseam too long. Some large fit nicely; most fly not fully closed even though waist is right size.

I heard a lot of good things about nylon underwear. I don't know if its the weave or what, but these don't feel as soft as a sateen weave, and there is very little moisture wicking.I will have to try a different pair of nylon to test. But so far the superior fabric choices are merino wool or hemp.

Comfortable

I ordered a medium which I usually wear (my waist is a 33), and it was too tight. It actually felt as though I was wearing a small. I do like the feel of the material. For this reason I ordered another pair, but a large.

I've been a fan of this brand for awhile as they make great products for big men & sell them for very cheap. Upon use they'll be tight, but after you wear & wash them 1-2 times they'll be the perfect fit. The tricot material makes them moisture wicking & dry really fast so if you're on a camping trip or extended vacation during the summer these are perfect for a quick sink/river wash & hang dry. They are very thin though so don't expect them to keep you warm in the winter.The thinness is what I believe factors into the durability issue. Tricot is a lightweight material & these seem to push thinness to a new level which is probably why they start coming apart at the seems after the first 1-2 years. My pairs from 4 years ago all have holes along the seams of the crotch & cleft areas to the point where I have to throw them away. On the other hand my cotton fruit of the loom boxers are going 3 years strong with no issues whatsoever.

I went by the size guide and my past experience with Players Underwear and these were huge. Their sizing is all over the place
