    Thats what I thought, great price IF they are any good chafe wise.

    BUT it gets better if they are any good, Amazon sells them 4 for $16.99 w/free 2 day shipping for Prime members and they list briefs as well which is my usual go to.

    I do see a pretty big discrepancy with sizes from the site I posted versus Amazon, which would explain why some comments referred to being tight.
    I think I'll go briefs, having spent a week in cotton briefs in 95-100* weather without chafe issues this will likely seem like heaven and hopefully eliminate the dead skunk in my pack effect

    Scratch the Prime shipping, that went away as soon as I selected a size/color. Free shipping on the slow boat from China

    And then theres this information about the fabric:

    I'm thinking the 7% nylon will help and buying from Amazon gives me options if they are garbage but they come from China so who knows

    FYI, I used EQUIPO, got them @ KOHL'S, 3 pair for $25... I had 2 pair w/ me for 76 days on the AT. "0" chaffing, dried fast after washing [while I was wearing them] When I came home I went & purchased 3 more pair. ALSO I have 4 pair of the ExOfficio & I don't think they are worth the cost, I replaced them, FREE of charge, Cause the waist band elastic failed. They are nice shorts but not worth the cost...

    seems to have at least the minimum number of holes required for functionality

    Your best to go with a merino wool or treated material like Patagonia or your junk will get funky.
