Agreed about appearance in grey. A really nice change from geeky white. I'm sure my waistline shrunk by 2" just putting them on. My comment to wife was that these are perfectly adequate as "swimming trunks" during backpacking in public areas. The legs tend to stretch out a bit during wear, so if you like 'em snug these might feel a bit loose.
NOTE these are very different from the regular Ex Officio brief which has an "access port" in front, is much larger overall, and not nearly as studly looking. Dang, if they'd just lower the price a bit - - but I bought enough for daily wear anyway 'cause I liked them so much.
