Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Echo Boxer Briefs

I own 8 pairs of these. They are my go tos for everything from work to running to skiing. Great boxers. I hang dry them to prolong the life of the waistband.

Bought two pairs of this idea in my size. Unfortunately, they fit very tight in spots where they shouldn't. I could envision them causing chafing in some rather uncomfortable areas. Disappointed. I returned them.

Seems a little on the smaller/tight side. Normally wear large with undergarments, measurements seemed to be ok, but it feels a little tight/uncomfortable. Will see if it loosens a bit with use. Could just be my body shape.

Same as the Echo shirts, it wicks well and doesn't bind on longer hikes or trail runs. Very lightweight but not flimsy. Crotch support could be better.

Lightweight and comfy boxers. They move with you, great for strenuous activities. More breathable than other synthetic fabric boxers I've tried. Will use all summer

Everyday use. Very comfortable and breathable.

I used the size chart to determine correct size to order (L in my case, with a 36" waist), but the briefs were a snug fit for me. My son (34" waist) is enjoying them and says they are super comfortable.

Sorry, no photo for you! They are really comfortable, but the briefs run a little smaller than the sizing. Overall great product but consider going a size up if you're on the fence

These run small through the waist. My experience after buying many of OR's other bottoms (mostly pants and shorts) is that the same advertised waist size (whether generalS, M, Lor specific measurements) can be highly variable between different styles. In the case of the echo boxer briefs, the waist is small. I recommend choosing a size up for comfort. The rest of the boxers, through the butt and thighs, feels true to size. One other note is that the synthetic fabric is really thin, so it's breathable, lightweight, and quick drying, but it's not at all durable.

These boxers are good except for the very noticable seam in the back. It seems like a little bit of a design flaw. I have to be careful to adjust them the right way so the bottom of my pack doesn't press on the waistband seam, but as long as I do that they are great.

I think the Echo boxer briefs are extremely breathable and comfy, but OR seems to have quirky pants sizing. I normally wear 30" waist pants, but based on the reviews here, I decided to order an M. I'm glad that I did, as I imagine the S waistband would have been waaaaaay too tight for my comfort. But as a tradeoff, the thighs don't have next-to-skin fit. I'm okay with that as in general I prefer boxers. But if you're looking for something with true next-to-skin fit, these might not be for you.

For the price on sale I'm happy with these, I now have 3 pairs, but they do still ride up a bit more than some of my longer ones from another brand. There is also a folded section in the small of your back along the elastic waist band where it's sewn that has rubbed me raw in the past depending on where your backpack sits so be aware of that.

Great feel and sizing. Traps too much heat during high physical activity in warm conditions.

These are the perfect summer brief. Very fresh feeling. For me Mandadory for travel.

They are perfect. But a bit fragile.

Nice panties, don't know why y'all put tags in them??? Just something u have to cut out and try and not rip your new undies....

Though a bit tight in the waist band, and some annoying, itchy tags that needed to be cut off, the rest of the fit and feel is good for this 32 inch waist runner/XC skier.

Really nice and light. Not quiiiite as breathable as I'd like but they're great boxers still.

Great product!!! I have worn these while road and trail running, mountain biking and as my daily go to. Fit is nice and I hope these last longer than the last brand I was using!!!

Very comfortable overall. I use these shorts on longer backpacking missions and they dry quickly and stay stink free for days. With anything light is going to come durability issues but overall really nice for the purpose.

These are great for skiing and biking due to the fact they wick moisture away really well and dry fast as well.

Comfortable and breathable.

I purchased these as an alternative to Ex-Officio, as I've had bad luck with the elastic giving out. So far, the echo boxer briefs has held up well and are comfortable. Will need to wait and see in regards to longterm durability.

These are very comfortable. The waistband is snug but not too tight.
