Exofficio alternative?

[Hondo]

Outdoor Research Echo boxers have replaced most of my Exofficio and Duluth boxers.

I've been extremely disappointed with my ExOfficios. I'm getting failed seams and thread pulls on some pairs after only 3 or 4 wears. No exaggeration. Timely thread.

Hell, I'm 8 YEARS into my first couple of pairs & i literally haven't worn anything else since I bought them! To be fair, they've seen their last now, hence the repurchase (you wouldn't want to see me bent over in a short skirt, wearing my originals)

I'm kinda loathe to spend upwards of $20 a pair for sight-unseen britches, is half my problem. I do like the look of the OR Echos & especially the Armachillos, I'll admit, but i found these on Amazon & for the price, i think I'm going to give them a punt. I imagine they'll be a lot like the Mothwings I used to wear (I really wish they still made those) & i don't think they'll go near a decade, but it's hard to knock the price.....

My vote goes for the Duluth Armachillo.

I bought one pair of the buck naked, Armachillo, and free range cotton all in a boxer brief in 2016 because I got tired of cheap undies giving me swamp ass and riding up.
The armachillo have the upper hand on the bucknaked, like someone else mentioned they dry just a bit quicker and I think they fit and feel better. Recently went on a 12 day trip with five pairs of armachillos, they can be worn two days if not super active and just driving and wash easily in the sink and dry overnight.

I still have the original pairs of bucknaked and armachillo. It's hard to tell the new ones from the originals

Lululemon. They’re amazing…

Update:
So, my budget britches showed up yesterday & I've been wearing them all today. Typical workday, a little office stuff, cleaning out dog kennels, a bit of outdoor work with the horses, usual stuff. Oh, and we have a current 'real feel' temp of 108° (92 actual, plus three digit humidity)

Zero swamp-ass, no bunching or ride up, zero knacker chafe.

DEFINITELY worth the buy.

This is going to get flamed, and rightly so, but how do they smell? That’s one thing I really value about the Exofficio. They dry quick and don’t reek. I love out of a suitcase and I don’t want stinky britches funk all over my clean clothes.

After 1 day, no smell. I reckon 2 pair will do me a week, easy.
I need to try giving them a sink wash next & see how quickly they air dry.

I love my Exos as much for the lack of stink as anything. I've gone 6 days in one pair before now on a Colorado hunt.

Me too. I’m watching this thread to see how it ends.

@robtattoo how compressive are those shorts? Looser like a traditional boxer brief or more along the lines of compression shorts?

They're tighter, similar fit to Exos.

There's also no crotch seam to chafe & a good bit of a....ummm....'vanity' room in the front.

Hang on.......

The fabric is a 93% poly / 7% 'Elastane' (I'm guessing spandex) blend. Very lightweight, stretchy & silky-smooth.
I'm not imagining much longevity, but they're VERY comfortable. The XXL, at least, fit true to size. 40-42" waist.

Try some bamboo man. Going 5 years now on my first pairs with zero issues.

I tried the Buck Naked boxer briefs. The material seems to be identical to the Exofficio. They get a thumbs up from me…

Armachillo?

 

[TheCougar]

Armachillo?

I think it’s just the regular Buck Naked. It’s my first foray into Duluth and they were full price, so I got these based on the fabric’s resemblance to Exofficio. They had lots of different types of fabrics.
