Every 5 years or so I buy a dozen new underwear in one shot.  It's that time again....  Does anyone have recs on good affordable boxer briefs that are outdoor friendly?

Needs:
Black color
quick dry (synthetic materials. can't afford wool. Cotton kills!!)
non-chaffing 

Wants:
No visible logos
Affordable

These bad boys come down to around $1.00/pair...can't get much better than that!

Pros

* Cheap

* Synthetic and fast drying

* Durability has been really good, waist elastic has gotten a little stretchy, but they're multiple years old and going strong

Cons

* I have tree trunk legs, the newer models are a bit tight in the thighs and will ride up on me (6' 180lbs in Size Large - Biker/Hiker/Skier first, climber second)

Affordable? for a 5 year underwear plan even nice junk smuggling equipment is pretty affordable over that many use days.
You can buy those bad boys and expect a cost breakdown of .29 cents a day for a year, or .058 cents a day for 5 years....and those are some nice chonies.

Costco if you've got one.

Briefs are better for keeping your nuts from wandering into your leg loops and a thong will bump you up an entire grade.

Bamboo Cool on Amazon are my preferred choice. They are not as cheap as the major name brands, but not crazy either. They are extremely breathable and stretchy. I get the ones with the 'pouch', really keeps the boys in place. 7 packs run around 60$.
