Mens Boxers and Underwear
What's in the boxers collection
Eight boxer shorts from Stance and Rip Curl, mostly boxer briefs in cotton or cotton-elastane blends. Stance are the ones people come back for, usually a polyester-modal-elastane mix with a decent waistband that doesn't roll. Rip Curl options tend to be simpler cotton with surf logos and come in multipacks. Prints range from plain blacks and greys to louder graphics if that's your thing. Useful stock item if you're already in buying a wetsuit or boardshorts and realise you've run out at home.
Sizing and fit
Stance generally fit true to size, though the brief cut sits higher on the leg than some UK brands. Rip Curl cotton boxers often run slightly larger, so if you're between sizes consider going down. If you're after something for under a wetsuit on longer surf sessions, a performance synthetic dries far quicker than cotton and won't hold cold water against your skin on a February morning at Rest Bay. For everyday, cotton is more comfortable.
Pairs well with
Part of the wider mens range. People usually grab a pair of socks at the same time, and if it's summer, a pair of walkshorts to wear over the top.
