Smartwool Men's NTS Micro 150 Pattern Boxer Brief

If you’ve never worn Smartwool boxers, $50 may seem expensive for a pair of undies. But the truth is, these boxers will save you space in your bag in the short-term and money in the long-term, as you won’t need to bring or buy as many pairs of subpar briefs. Smartwool’s lightweight, 100% Merino wool Micro 150 pattern doesn’t irritate the skin or collect stink, and it dries quickly, whether you decide to go for an impromptu swim or you end up washing them in the hostel sink. 

Tester Comment: “Bringing a pair of Smartwool briefs along on an international trip is among the best advice I can give to any traveler.”

Best For: International travel, moderate-output activities, hand-washing on-the-go
