They’re very comfortable whilst you’re doing your chosen sporting pursuit due to 85% polyester and 15% elastane. Again, this fabric ‘split’ will help wick away sweat and dry quickly.

Anything made by Under Armour is designed with sporting performance in mind. These boxer briefs are no different. Made from 90% polyester and 10 spandex, they are always a tight fit, so your privates are supported. We like them primarily because of their breathability and fast-drying, wicking properties.

Unlike cotton which can hold moisture (and ultimately leads to bacteria build-up), these boxer briefs don’t, reducing the chafing risk. You can also see from the image, the leg length is more than enough to cover any thigh gap chafing for those on longer runs.

Surely, the clue’s in the name? A brand called Runderwear exists purely for runners who despise chafing. They’re award-winning too – picking up Gold in the 2018 and 2019 Running Awards for Best Underwear & Socks. The boxer featured here is 92% polyamide and 8% elastane in terms of fabric but has a lengthy 7.5-inch inseam. The detail is brilliant too, or lack of it actually – there are no tags, labels, or dodgy stitching to aggravate the runner (it’s flat lock stitching).

Rest assured, they won’t ride up either, this is thanks to a pair of subtle silicone leg grippers that hold the boxers in place as you get on with your exercise.

Icebreaker are usually synonymous with excellent base layer technology. Well, underwear is actually a base layer and as Icebreaker have used their technical prowess in manufacturing these boxers, they are a worthy inclusion in this ‘best of’ list. The inside seam is 5.5 inches which will prevent runners chafe.

The fabric is their own ‘cool-lite’ blend, using the finest New Zealand merino wool blend which is odour resistant and anti-bacterial. They’ll withstand multiple washes too, Icebreaker weave a nylon thread into to the merino for extra strength. It’s a snug fit too, thanks to 5% elastane in the mix.
