> I found I got monkey butt about the 500 km (300 mile) mark with regular 
> cotton boxers.  I had no trouble with the 650 km on this trip.
> Few other pluses:
> They are anti-microbactirial
> You can hand wash them in a bathroom basin, hang them on a shower rod and 
> they are dry & clean for the next day's ride.
> If you're getting a little warm in the crotch while riding, stand on the
