TUO's New Kinetic Merino 150 Boxer Brief

MUSKEGON, Mich. – We don't envy whoever writes catalog copy for the big underwear brands. Hard to imagine putting words to boxers and briefs day after day with a straight face. But managing the boys matters, so we're going to take a crack at it.

We've taken TUO's elite merino material and crafted the new Kinetic Merino 150 Boxer Brief. Catering to the cojones, the distinctive boxer briefs are constructed with a 38% 17.5 micron merino wool/58% Tencel/4% spandex, single layer blend that's appreciably soft and cool to the touch.

A Blend Built for the Job

The light merino wool pampers the privates with natural antimicrobial properties and moisture-wicking performance, while the TENCELβ„’ lyocell fibers β€” a sustainable, semi-synthetic material made from wood pulp, primarily eucalyptus or beech trees β€” bring breathability, softness, temperature regulation, and pilling resistance to the mix. The modest amount of spandex ensures that the briefs fit well and support the twig and berries.

"We wanted a boxer brief that treats what matters most the same way we treat everything else in the line β€” engineered, not an afterthought," said Steve Allie, TUO's Marketing Director. "Merino and TENCEL together do things most cotton underwear only wishes it could."

Fit That Stays Put

An elastic waistband promises a comfortable and secure fit, while flatlock seams throughout offer the best in next-to-skin comfort. Features a fully functional fly and ideal length with 7-inch seams.
