Underwear Guy Review: 2Xist Fusion Sport Brief
Designer/Manufacturer: 2Xist
Website: www.2xist.com
Price: $14.00

Over the past year 2Xist has continued to diversify its product lineup with a mix of new fabrics, colors and cuts introduced through new ranges including the Track, Liquid Cotton and this review's highlight: Fusion. The Fusion line is dubbed by 2Xist as a performance underwear range with a 52% polyester and 48% nylon fabric blend woven into a mesh-like texture for breatheability and decent stretch. The Fusion line is available in 3 cuts including a low-rise brief, trunk and this featured sport brief. There are several colors available in the line, all of which are contrasted with a secondary color. The options include dark red, white, green, blue, black and what I purchased which is a tone-on-tone light gray and smoke-gray combination. Although mostly gray, there is still some color introduced into the design with a very bright orange-red stripe on the waistband and contrast stitching on the front pouch down the center seam.

The fit of the Fusion line would appear to be true-to-size with the medium for this sport brief I purchased fitting well for a standard 32-33" waist. The waistband measures 1 3/8" tall and sports a 2Xist logo centered in the front with the sport stripes running all the way around. On the inside of the waistband in the back you'll find the standard wash/care and fabric content tags which measure 1 3/8" tall by 1 5/8" wide for the logo tag and sewn on the side the additional 1 3/8" tall by 1" wide instruction information. The waistband is fairly minimal with a very thin and smooth material weave of microfiber elastic which is nice if you like something with less bulk over some of the other waistbands out there. The back of this sport brief is full coverage with 1/2" contrast leg-bands.The front pouch is standard 2Xist fare so if you are familiar with the standard cotton or Bold lines you'll have a good indicator of the overall fit. The pouch is designed with about an average amount of room although keep in mind this fabric has a limited amount of stretch. The pouch is double-layer material and provides a solid amount of support and shape definition. The front panel measures 7" across at the top and narrows to 3 1/2" at the base.
