Which is better for working out?

The Pair of Thieves SuperFit. Its polyamide-spandex mesh stretches and dries faster than the cotton CoolZone, and the flat seams and contoured pouch reduce chafing.

Which is cheaper per pair?

Fruit of the Loom CoolZone. At $17.50 for the multipack at eBay as of November 3, 2026, each pair costs well under $5, against about $10 per pair for the $19.99 Pair of Thieves 2-pack.

Both hold up with machine washing. The CoolZone's cotton can stretch and thin over time, while the SuperFit's spandex blend can lose elasticity. Neither has a clear durability edge.

Is the Pair of Thieves worth the extra cost?

Yes if you want stretch, fast drying and a contoured pouch. If you mainly want everyday cotton briefs at low cost, the Fruit of the Loom pack is the better value.

Does the Fruit of the Loom CoolZone run true to size?

It comes in S to XL with a big men's cut that adds room in the waist and seat. Shoppers who want a snug athletic fit often size down.

Both do. The Pair of Thieves has a quick-access fly; the Fruit of the Loom has a breathable mesh fly for ventilation.
