It's all about UA. +1 to whoever said to go mid thigh length. They're my go to underwear. Breathable, comfy, no thigh rash from rubbing, they don't stink, and they can absorb a ton of perspiration, I've had one of my pairs for almost 7 years now, and the only problem is a bit of pilling. They work great for walking or working out, and refuse to tear. The Nike shorts felt really thin and cheap when I tried them,

Nope. It's probably just because I'm used to sweating (I got genetically fucked on this end), but it doesn't bother me at all. UA under my shirt is another story, however.

man your genetically fucked...hell I am having this battle with underarm sweat and I am not on the winning end. I mean I wear boxer briefs and I dont mind them, but if I am going to the library to study I definitely wear just plain woven cotton boxers.

I highly recommend them for a few reasons. I bought a pair of them accidentally at the Off-Sax 5th Ave in Schaumburg, Il. They were regular price $68.00 marked down to $19.99 and for some reason I was in a hurry assumed it was a three-pack. It wasn't. But I swear it improved my posture and stance, and made sitting in a driving position for long periods more tolerable. when I got around to working out in them, they breathed well and the sweat seemed to evaporate faster, and no feeling of swamp-ass as you might expect.

The brand was Equmen and I think it may be exclusive to Sax, but I was so impressed, I went back and picked up two more pair (they didn't have many in stock to begin) before my size was gone. I've laundered and line dried them through several dozen wears and workouts with no pilling at all and yes, keeps the junk where it needs to be without strangling them.
