I do hard physical work outside in all weather, often interacting with fire so I need to wear all natural fibers. These are my favorite underwear to do that work in. They are comfortable and don't ride up under my work pants, and they are also moisture wicking and breathable so at the end of a sweaty day I'm not totally drenched. They aren't the softest right out of the package but after a few washings they soften up, and I don't find the texture of the fabric to be uncomfortable. I always wash on cold and line dry to make sure they last as long as possible. The legs do sometimes get bunched up under skinny jeans, but I just use my old standby Pact organic boyshorts for that as they are cut much shorter.
