Product Insights
The Saxx 6" Flamingo Boxer Brief Droptemp™ combines patented BallPark Pouch technology with moisture-wicking 38% modal fabric to deliver exceptional anti-chafing comfort during active use, enabling wearers to hike for days without lubricants. However, the premium $38 CAD price is offset by a critical tradeoff: the Droptemp mesh component deteriorates rapidly over months, though the cotton-modal base retains softness for up to two years with proper care. While the flat-seam construction and no-roll waistband prevent bunching, the 6-inch inseam may ride up on athletic thighs, and the pouch can feel constrictive during prolonged sitting. Cooling performance remains reliable, but value perception suffers due to the mesh lifespan; goodwill warranty covers early failures, yet sale items are final sale with hidden return policies.

Saxx pioneer but poor durability and riding up, prefers B3NTH
I give them props for being pioneers of the ball pouch but I never found the underwear to be particularily good (lots of riding up and poor durability. Other brands have improved upon the concept since. My go-to is B3NTH

Saxx sports prevent chafing on multi-day hikes
I got the SAXX sports and as someone who usually suffers from extreme chafing I can attest that they do an excellent job of preventing discomfort and I can now do 6 day hikes without having to lather my gooch in Vaseline. I’ve swapped out most of my old underwear for Saxx.

Disappointed with Saxx quality, but ballpark feature is great
I wonder to see Saxx in this r/ my opinion is stil about the boxerbriefs, but the quality is the same like you get from any cheap walmart offer, beside the ball park. I was really disappointed and would not recommend Saxx, especially if you expect anything close to ExOfficio. Yet, the feeling of the ball park is great, especially when you are a bit older

Likes Droptemp cooling mesh but criticizes warranty and sizing
Im a big fan of their underwear- only. Particularly ‘drop temp cooling mesh’ (not cotton). Their ‘warranty’ on underwear is good. Saxx’ return policy is otherwise horrible. Do not buy anything other than underwear, as the sizing is often off and they do not take back return on any discount/sale items. This is buried on their website instead of being clearly marked as ‘final sale’ next to the item online.
