Forged in the Backcountry Boxer Briefs – Initial Field Review

[Kurts86]

Has anyone compare these to the bomba’s boxers? Those are 92% modal and 8% spandex which is approximately the same material. The Bombas trunks have been the best I’ve found so far.

I was listening to shoot2hunt podcast today and they had Jay on talking about his socks he’s coming out with. He said something about securing a new shipping option to the lower 48 so hopefully shipping delays will be less in the future

I think the lower 48 shipping option is carrying them in the UM store.

Jay is a friend of mine, but I do love these boxer briefs. They’re all I wear, from the office to out in the field.

25 doller boxers.
Good god,I’ll stick to the 4 pack for 25
What did we do the last 20 years,I guess there’s a niche for everything.
Will go good with the new 1000.00 watch.

I bought a couple pairs early into the release, have used them extensively on hunts and for work on the farm, they have started to hold onto smell now, just like any other boxer, however they are still incredibly comfortable.

I'd love to try these but just can't do synthetic underwear with all the data out there now.

I have the boxers and honestly don't love them. You need to follow the sizing chart very carefully as I think they run at least one size small compared to other US brands. I initially ordered XL and they were way small (I wear XL in every other brand), and then reordered XXL. They fit better but I still get just nasty waist band rolling on them. They just don't work for me. I have them in the rotation and will wear them until I use them up, but won't be ordering anymore.

Can’t imagine any underwear lasting longer than my under armor. 9” boxer jocks keep chafing away and I’ve owned pairs for nearly 15 years that still feel newish. In fact I don’t think I’ve bought any in 5+ years due to longevity. Hopefully they haven’t gone downhill.

I wear the Under Armour boxer briefs also for everyday wear and have some going on 10+ years as well. Great boxers for the money.

I ordered a pair of the Forged boxers and a pair of the socks because; A) I like trying new stuff, and B) I like what Jay puts out content wise and just wanted to support his brand. I like both. For the briefs, the fit is about right for me in a medium (I usually wear a medium in briefs), and they do breathe well. Wore them and the socks on a training hike this past weekend. The socks felt good also, not clammy, or too tight. The socks are not as padded as some of the Darn Toughs or the Stone Glacier socks I have but still felt fine.

Time will tell how long they last but they seem well made.
