What is the difference between trunks and boxer briefs?
Trunks have a shorter leg and a more square-cut shape than boxer briefs. They provide less thigh coverage and fit smoothly beneath slim pants and shorts.
What are SilkCut Micro Modal Stretch trunks made from?
They are made from 94% Micro Modal Air® and 6% elastane. The fabric uses ultra-fine 0.8 dtex fibers for a soft, lightweight feel with flexible stretch.
Do these men’s trunks ride up?
The short leg and stretch fabric are designed to help reduce bunching and ride-up. Results may vary depending on body shape, activity, and sizing.

They feature ergonomic front support designed to hold comfortably without a stiff or heavily structured feel.
Who should choose trunks instead of boxer briefs?
Trunks may be better for men who prefer shorter thigh coverage, wear slim clothing, or want less fabric during warm weather. Boxer briefs may be better for men who prefer a longer leg.
