Which is better for everyday wear?

The Jockey Elance. It is 100% cotton, machine washable, and about $5 per pair in the 3-pack at Target. The WAVEFORM is a single $29.00 pair with a shaping cut, better suited to a specific look than daily rotation.

Is the WAVEFORM worth the extra money?

Only if you want its ultra-light second-skin fabric and wave cut. At $29.00 for one pair it costs about six times the Jockey's per-pair price, and it has just 12 ratings against 2,900.

The Jockey is plain cotton with stated machine wash and dry care, which usually holds up well. The WAVEFORM's care is not listed and its thin, ultra-light fabric is likely to show wear sooner, so wash it cold and air dry.

Does the WAVEFORM come in more sizes?

Yes. It runs S to 2XL, waist 28-43 in. The Jockey listing shows S, M and XL with no 2XL, and buyers report inconsistent sizing, so check the size chart before ordering.

Which is better for travel or hot weather?

The WAVEFORM's ultra-light, breathable fabric dries and packs smaller. The Jockey's cotton is more absorbent and slower to dry, but a 3-pack covers a trip for less than one WAVEFORM pair.

Which has better buyer feedback?

The WAVEFORM scores 4.4 but from only 12 ratings. The Jockey scores 4.2 from 2,900 ratings, so its score is far more reliable, though it includes complaints about thin material and sizing.
