Men's Alpaca Wool Boxer Briefs

They fit small. I normally am a large and they were very tight. No returns on underwear.

Love the fabric, but the fit makes me sad. No support or much consideration for anatomy. Please give the design the same level of attention as the material.

Ultralight. Moisture wicking. No itching. Very little odor, especially relative to other fabrics. What more can one desire in a backpacking brief? Only two complaints are that the fabric is delicate and these are pricey for undies. Even after handwashing these, they lasted about 1 season only (around 20 hand washing sessions) before they started to develop thin spots and then holes. Wash very delicately and maybe they will last you longer.

I've bought quite a few wool (alpaca and sheep) underwear, and these had the worst durability. I wash all of them the same: cold water, low heat. Smartwool broke down after 31 washes, Woolly has survived 65 with no issues, but these fell apart after only 7 washes. The fabric under the crotch is single layer, and it developed multiple tears really quickly. I liked the shirt I got from here, but I don't believe their underwear is worth your time or money until they double up the fabric in weak areas.

I ordered a 5 pack of these, opened the package and was disappointed to find that the inseams were about 1-2" which clearly would ride up and be uncomfortable with any type of movement, and the waist band is not seamless — it has a large vertical bar tack stitch which is more than 3/16" in thickness and presses into your right side.

I communicated my disappointment here and asked for a return and was denied several times despite my best efforts in communication because I OPENED THE PACKAGE to see the garment. The garments were in perfect unworn condition as they originally specified, but upon emailing them photos of the garments per their request, they replied stating that because the package was opened they were unreturnable.

I think this is a massive failure on their part that it is basically impossible to see the garment without it being final sale. I'm now out $200 and am trying to figure out what to do with the material because they're not wearable for an active person like myself. If I could upload photos of the garments I would just so other people wouldn't fall into this same pitfall.

The second you open the package it is impossible to return, so buyer be ware.

They are so soft and feel so nice all day. My husband loves them.

Ordered size M, which I wear in all other brands (6'1", 195 lbs, 34" waist). They are very comfortable and high quality, perform great for day to day activities (haven't tried hiking in them yet), and I love the nature dye color. Unfortunately they are just too short and tight in the trunk/crotch so not a perfect fit. Otherwise, I would highly recommend these.

Material feels low quality and cheap. Fit and sizing is random. My boyfriend said these are uncomfortable and he’s the most easygoing person and dresser!

The entire website seems like a scam and knockoff. I tried to return the alpaca leggings I had purchased immediately after they arrived and 1 month later the company emailed to say there was “dirt on them” and they won’t accept my return. Huge regret purchasing from this company and won’t ever again.

I have cashmere and I have merino wool, both feel softer to me!

They’re very soft and light and really good at moisture wicking. My other underwear is normally soaked after a day of work but these seem nearly dry after the same effort.

I find that I get itchy in Merino wool underwear so thought I would try the Alpaca boxer briefs as an alternative. Very soft and a good fit, without the itch. I wore them on a 4 day hike in Tasmania and found them comfortable and they didn't get too much stink. After the hike they had a 1cm hole in the crotch and the elastic had pulled apart a bit at a seam. I have worn them probably no more than 5 times since the hike and they are wearing though in the seat area and holes are appearing in any area where there is any friction.
The boxer briefs are a nice product but they need to be thicker and to be blended with something like Tencel or cotton to have enough strength to handle any activity such as hiking. At AUD$82 (inc. $18 freight to Aust.) they are not good value if they wear out so fast.

Soft, excellent light layer but a bit tight around legs & crotch due to design. I'd prefer and would buy boxer style underwear.

I get quite an itch from good 'ol sheep's wool, not so much with Merino, and none at all with these alpaca underwear.
They fit great (usual underwear size), and eerily don't smell after several days use.
100% satisfied thus far with my 100% alpaca wool underwear.
Be aware, there are other places that sell alpaca wool apparel, but this is the one place that I found that sells 100% alpaca wool.

I purchased two pairs of these briefs to wear on alternating days while hiking the Pacific Crest Trail and was excited for their softness and the natural fiber's ability to reduce odor. However, within 60 total miles, both pairs were completely useless.

The fabric rubbing between my legs eroded away almost immediately; I noticed the holes at Mile 30, so likely they didn't even last that long. By mile 60, both were completely useless.

Nothing on the company's website suggested the briefs would be ill suited for backpacking; in fact, in multiple places, Arms of Andes promotes the briefs as "The Perfect Underwear for Hiking", saying also that they are "designed for backpacking". Clearly not.

For further insult, Arms of Andes has determined that my case is not eligible for refund or other compensation. I'm not sure what conditions would have to exist for them to consider a product failure their own fault, but this seemed a cut-and-dry incident to me.

So now, I'm out $80 within a matter of days and have no refund with which to purchase replacement briefs. It's frustrating the product was so poorly suited for backpacking, but it's insulting that the company won't stand behind their product. Their customer service has been receptive to feedback but has stonewalled any requests for reimbursement.

I like the feel and sizing but the part by the bottom middle seam (lower crotch) has worn away and holes have appeared after about 10 wears. Other pairs are holding up with the same use.

The item looks great. I am excited to use them

My son loves the briefs and plans to order more!

Arrived Jan 29 and the elastic is already stretching out! Way too much money for the quality. The large runs small.

The size chart is not remotely correct so definitely size up at least one, maybe 2 sizes. They also won't accept returns, citing a return policy that is not displayed anywhere on the product page. Their customer service is also very poor, and will take days to get a response.

I returned 1 pair due to faulty stitching. But the recipient loved the rest.

I had been looking for a replacement for the luxury boxers from Brooks Brothers, and I found them. Incredibly comfortable, to the point where you're unsure if you are wearing anything at all. They are much easier to pack and just a quick hand soak/wash when cleaning them up. Thank you so much for the fantastic quality and comfort.

The quality of these underwear is quite good. The sizing is somewhat small. I usually wear medium but I ordered large. They fit but a little tighter then I like. When I order more I will get extra large.. Overall I am quite satisfied with this product

Like it so far

While I do like the look and feel of the garment, I did have a seam split the first time I wore them. Hole is large enough for 2 fingers to fit through. I pre-ordered the basement and expected shipping in October. In November I enquired about not having been received and was told they would ship shortly, and garment was shipped 2 weeks later. I like the product, but don't think I will repurchase from Arms of Andes.
