Arc’teryx Motus SL Boxer
The Arc’teryx Motus SL Boxer is a highly functional base layer designed for high-intensity outdoor activities. Made from Phasic™ FL fabric, it offers superior moisture-wicking properties, ensuring that sweat is quickly moved away from the skin to keep you dry and comfortable during strenuous activities like trail running or hiking. This material also dries quickly, which is essential for maintaining comfort in changing weather conditions.
One of the standout features of the Motus SL Boxer is its lightweight construction, which makes it an excellent choice for long durations of wear without adding bulk. The boxer is designed to stretch with your movements, providing excellent freedom of movement. To enhance comfort further, flatlock seams reduce the risk of chafing, and gusseted crotch panels improve mobility.
The DAO™ treatment helps to minimize odor, which is a great feature for multi-day adventures. Additionally, it is produced in a Fair Trade Certified facility, aligning with Arc’teryx’s commitment to ethical production standards.
Pros:
- Breathable and Moisture-Wicking: The Phasic™ FL fabric ensures moisture is effectively transported away from the skin.
- Comfort and Mobility: The stretch fabric and gusseted crotch provide a full range of motion for active wear.
- Odor Control: DAO™ treatment keeps unpleasant odors at bay during extended use.

Cons:

- Limited Durability in Harsh Conditions: While lightweight, the fabric may not offer the same durability as heavier base layers in rugged terrains.
Overall, the Motus SL Boxer is an excellent choice for active individuals who require comfort, breathability, and performance in their base layer, especially for high-output activities like running and hiking
