Men's Brooks Equilibrium Windbrief Boxer

Comments about Mens Brooks Equilibrium Windbrief Boxer Underwear Bottoms:

I wear these everytime I run. It protects me from chafing and the extra wind resistance material adds extra protects during winter long runs.

Not much to say about this item, but if you have ever gone for a long run in the cold on a windy day, you know how cold certain parts of your body can get (i.e. the family jewels) and how painful that can be. SO...this puts a layer of material similar to a windbreaker between the cold and wind and your skin in that one particular area...good stuff!

I run in very cold weather many days close to zero with some pretty harsh wind so I have been in search for some wind front boxer briefs for quite a while. I was psyched to find that Brooks made a pair and quickly ordered them. The price was a little high but I figured if it saved me from putting energy bar wrappers down the front of my boxers to block the wind, they would be worth it. I used them for the first the other night. When I first put them on they sounded like every seam tore. The waste was very tight, probably 1 size small but the overall fit was pretty good and they were comfortable, almost like I was wearing nothing. I went out for a run and the temps were very warm, right around 30 if not a bit higher with little wind. Granted I had my lighter pants on but these things did nothing for me as far as blocking the wind. After about 30 minutes of running my goods were pretty cold and the front panel was really not blocking much wind at all. Overall with how tight the waste felt going on and the fact that they don't block wind very well, I would recommend going up 1 size and not running with them in temps under 40.

The breifs block the wind fine, but I wish the groin area was lined with a thin layer of fleece or something. It still gets cold down there. I wear these everyday I'm out in the winter, which is practically everyday because some protection is better than no protection.

I have another pair of Brooks equilibrium wind briefs I bought a year ago and they were completely different in a good way. The wind panel was much more extensive and they were much more sturdy. I'm hoping these hold up and I can get my money's worth out of them.

Very comfortable. Provides an added warmth over others I have tried.

You need a liner under compression shorts and the key is to avoid chafing and to facilitate wicking, particularly on those long runs over 12 miles. I've tried them all, and these are by far the most comfortable and the best at not chafing. The Under Armour ones are fine for speed workouts, but I've already got compression shorts or tights on, so why do my skivvies have to add compression?

I thought the shine from the wind stop was a unusal but liked the feel of the brief. These look like they will last.
