Product Insights
Saxx's 6" In the City Boxer Brief is a multi-sport mesh underwear featuring the brand's signature BallPark Pouch Pro that reduces friction and prevents chafing on multi-day hikes, with a one-way wicking liner and open mesh for quick drying, plus odor-resistant treatment for freshness between washes. The 6-inch inseam and stay-put hems ensure no ride-up during squats and runs, and the pouch design has been refined since 2007, backed by B Corp certification for ethical practices. However, buyers report that seams may fail within months and that the pouch fit varies by anatomy, sometimes causing heat or chafing, while the brand is often seen as overpriced compared to competitors like David Archy and 2undr.

Comfort that keeps up with training days
These Saxx Multi-Sport Mesh boxer briefs are made for workouts and everyday activity, with soft, stretch micro-mesh and moisture-wicking fabric in a lightweight, quick-drying design. One repeat buyer describes them as super comfortable and durable for any activity, and they're also odor-resistant, so they're ready for any training day.[2,4,6]
Staying comfortable during workouts and active days
Designed for active endeavors, these Saxx boxer briefs use the 3D BallPark Pouch Pro™, which the brand says prevents friction and offers greater support, with a snugger, more supportive fit in the pouch. Stop Drop Technology in the pouch lining also wicks away moisture, making them a pick for sport or training when chafing and sweat are concerns.[1,6]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| 6" In The City Boxer Brief Multi-Sport Mesh: Choose this if you want a fitted 6-inch-inseam boxer brief for training and active days: the soft stretch micro-mesh (88% polyester, 12% spandex) wicks moisture, and the 3D BallPark Pouch Pro lining is designed to prevent friction while adding support, with hems that help the legs stay put. A Zappos reviewer who rebought it found it super comfortable and durable for any activity. Note this variant comes only in the Patterned Black cityscape print, in Medium and Large sizes, and needs gentle cold washing with low-heat drying.[1,3,4,6] | 6" Contrast-Waist Boxer Briefs Multi-Sport Mesh 3-Pack: Choose this if you want breathable, quick-dry underwear for sport and daily wear: the lightweight stretch micro-mesh wicks moisture, resists odor, and pairs with a 3D BallPark Pouch front designed to prevent friction, in a slim 6-inch-inseam cut sold as a three-pack. Reviews describe it as comfortable and staying put during running and high-impact cardio, though the 6-inch leg can ride up in cycling and may feel too short for sliding sports like baseball or curling, where reviewers suggest an 8-inch inseam for more coverage. Note that one long-time wearer found durability lacking despite the comfort.[7,8,9] | 6" Edge Camouflage/black Boxer Briefs Multi-Sport Mesh 2-Pack: Choose this if you want a multi-sport mesh 2-pack with an EDGE camo print from the SAXX x REALTREE collaboration, featuring soft stretch micro-mesh (88% polyester, 12% spandex), moisture-wicking Drop Stop technology, 3D BallPark Pouch Pro internal support to help prevent friction, a 6-inch inseam with a light-compression, body-hugging fit, and a wide elastic logo waistband. A Reddit commenter liked how much this multi-sport mesh stretches and found the pouch feel great, especially for older wearers, though another reported comfort outweighing durability concerns, with holes developing quickly in the pouch area.[5,9,10,11,12,13,14] |

On dirait que la qualité n’est plus ce qu’elle était. Acheté et après 1 lavage, déchirure dans l’entrejambe - dommage pour la conception.

SAXX sports prevents 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.

Multi sport mesh praised for stretch
I like their multi sport mesh. They stretch a lot so that might be good for your situation.
