Review on LAPASA Underwear Breathable Outdoor Lightweight Men's Clothing in Active by Shawn Trotter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quality ex officio at the price Lapasa

Don't know the Lapasa brand? You will be surprised. If you've ever bought Ex Officio boxer shorts, you'll be familiar with them. I found them while digging through Revain and I have yet to find the difference between them and almost all of my favorite ex-officio versions, except for the price. Ex officio is usually around $18-$20 a pair, but for me they cost $8 a pair. Same materials, same fit, same design, same fabric, same belt. The biggest difference is that the Lapasa versions are slightly shorter on the leg (a shame!) and a shade darker than the Ex Officio, but in a good way. What I like: They have great coverage and a longer inseam than Uniqlo. and quite comfortable. They have a gusseted design, with the butt seam running around the seat, creating a seamless fit that wraps around the cheeks on the sides. It seems like a simple thing but feels great which makes me wonder why it has never been done before? I also think the legs stay in place better because the extra fabric offers a little more support. What I don't like: Like Ex Officio, Lapasa underwear has more fabric than Uniqlo or some others, so they don't pack. like a little. They also take a little longer to air dry, but that's not a problem. Value: At half the price of Ex Officio and 100% quality, Lapasa is a much better deal. I'm still testing them, but I haven't noticed any of the wear and tear I've seen on the Ex Officio, which started rolling very early (which is disappointing for $18 boxers). So far I have zero complaints.

Pros
  • Good product at the price
