Description
Rapha’s Merino Boxers provide all-day comfort and functional performance. They are made from very soft merino wool and are extremely comfortable against the skin. The natural fibre wicks sweat superbly, while the addition of a small degree of Elastane provides flexibility. Like Rapha Base Layers, they are finished with flatlock stitching to prevent chafing.
“Merino is one of those finer things in life, literally: the super fine fibres of merino wool are one of the properties that make it work so well for cycling and also make it feel very nice against your skin.”
★★★★☆ TR McGowran, Road.cc

Nice Boxers To Keep My Junk In
I purchased two Rapha boxers because they are made with merino wool. I am very happy with the design. The non functional fly someone complained about in another review is not an issue for me as what I own reaches over the top when necessary. The material is thiner than expected and I was hoping they would be a tighter more supportive fit. I do realize these are boxers so, I will say they fix as described and the sizing chart is accurate. They are also very stylish if you ever get caught with your pants down. “5’10” 180lbs. Size medium” Hopefully Rapha will make a supportive merino wool base layer short soon.
Cheers!

Why no fly?
Why did Rapha remove the fly? This ruined an otherwise great product. The previous “fly version” of these are the only boxers I own. I’ve ordered probably 15-20 pairs over the last few years. Please bring back the fly! And while you’re at it, get rid of all the tags and just screen print the washing instructions please. Thanks!

They destroyed a classic
Very disappointed!! I am ordering these boxers for almost 8 years. The quality of the newest boxers is very sad. Super very thing. They tear apart like paper! Also the fit is a disaster. I think these are last boxers by Rapha :-(

gone downhill
For anyone that remembers Rapha's old merino boxers, these will be a huge disappointment. Super thin waistband, no front "vent," and very poor, scratchy fabric. Sigh.

Merino boxers
Big fan of the older boxer from Rapha. This new one just isn’t the same. Shorter cut, no fly and just not as good. Long time avid rapha fan but wouldn’t recommend this one.

Not the same boxers
For those who have enjoyed the merino boxers in the past, these are clearly not the same product. The fabric is very thin, and the fit is loose. Not at all the way the older ones were. It's an unfortunate update. No longer so far ahead of the other brands.

Bait & switch
Not Merino. Not even half Merino. Very disappointing on that front.

Holes next to the front label after 1st wear
The fabric label that is on the front of the boxers is sewn down and pulls on the fabric, after only one wear this created 2 holes either side in the fabric.
