It was something we've always wondered, but never actually tested. How long could you wear your Ridge Merino underwear before it needed a wash?

In a thorough, yet somewhat unsanitary experiment, Outside Magazine did just that - with one tester going a full week without getting them "too smelly."

This, along with the relaxed cut and the functional design, earned the Ridge Merino boxer brief a place on Outside Magazine's very short list of the best performance underwear for men. Specifically, Ridge was named best for Multi-Day Off-the-Grid Trips, with the reviewer noting "...they’re great for backpacking or backcountry ski trips."
