Comments about Patagonia Active Brief - Men's:

I was interested in a wicking brief for Alpine and Nordic skiing as well as hiking. The Active brief works fine. My only complaint is the size of the leg opennings, alittle snug for me. The waist is true to the Patagonia chart.

Comments about Patagonia Active Brief - Men's:

Same great Capilene briefs, but now with a fly. Cut could be a little LESS full, but fit is good overall; I'm a 36" waist and Large fits well. Fabric dries quickly, and doesn't seem to get smelly as fast as previous iterations. Haven't had them long enough to know about durability. One small annoyance is that on each leg hole two seams join to form a bump that gets uncomfortable when sitting for long periods. For a day of rock climbing - no worries. For several hours on a plane - a nuisance. Still a great high-tech brief.
