They are the best. Best Rapha product. I am not kidding. They are all I wear

If you like a longer inseam, you might want to look at Smartwools. They are nice and often be found on sale.

I only use mine for travel where I can pack fewer and sink wash

Too rich for me for a daily driver

Super nice, only had mine for 6 months so can't speak to durability

Durability is the same as tightie whities.

Funny that this is a topic.... i purchased 3 of them, but they have not made it out of the little bags they came in. Size M, black if anyone is interested.

I have 3 pairs and I love them. Also use them for travel or "commuter" cycling (if I'm wearing jeans or pants). Fit nicely, breathe well, don't get stinky... all things that are good for undies. I just make sure I wash them on gentle and with athletic wash when I'm laundering my cycling kit.

hokoman - I'm in SF and might take a pair or two off of your hands. I'll PM you.

This. Been wearing them pretty much since they hit the market. Still have some pairs I bought 4 years ago. Had to sew up a few holes (learned to darn wool actually due to this) but all in all durability is good for something that gets stretched and worn heavily. Wait until they go on clearance which they inevitably do 2x a year.

The thought of merino undies makes me groan. Too hot down south! I freak out wearing tight boxers - need old school loose ones to feel happy ;)

Rapha makes nice stuff though. I am sure they're beautiful.

Not hot at all. In fact they are cooler than the norm.

You remind me of Father McKenzie darning his Rapha undies in the night when there's nobody there.

All the epic people--where do they all get their underwear from?
