2Wink Space Cadet – A Men’s Underwear Review
Inspired by Buzz Lightyear, 2Wink rolls out their new Space Cadet men’s boxer brief. Ready to launch?
After reviewing 2Wink‘s Hot Angel, Cool Devil boxer briefs and now their Space Cadet boxer briefs, one thing I can say for certain is that 2Wink makes high-quality underwear.
I am again impressed with the quality of material they use, the “fuzzy” waistband, and the quality workmanship. I can also say, that I am again impressed by 2Wink’s styling - from the cut to color. Made from 92% cotton, 8% spandex, these were cotton-soft with a bit of stretch to them. The 2Wink Space Cadet are fun, sexy looking pair of men’s boxer briefs with their deep purple coloring and green accenting; You really can tell that Buzz Lightyear was an inspiration for these.
On comfort, I found these to fit similar to how the Hot Angel, Cool Devil boxer briefs fit. They are certainly a lowrise and sit a bit lower than I typically like my lowrise underwear to sit – still ok but would like a tad higher. For the pouch, I would say the same. The pouch was a tag snug, still comfortable, but enjoy a roomier pouch. For guys that like a snug fit, these should be great for you.
For leg and waistbands, I really like their waistband as it’s the “fuzzy” type – very soft! The leg bands are also comfortable and hold the legs in place to avoid riding up during the day.
If you’re new to 2Wink, they’re an Australia brand made in Perth and started up in 2005. They recently brought production back from China to better manage quality control. From what I’ve read about early productions of 2Wink, I think they’ve made the right move – definitely a quality brand! 2Wink can be found in over 30 countries and are expanding into swimwear soon.
All in all, a decent boxer brief; with a few tweaks they be on my top 5 list. Even so, I would recommend these to you. If you’re concerned about sizing, you may want to consider a size up to avoid the snug fit. Priced a $18.75 (USD) they’re a good buy for the quality you get. So, become a “Defender of the Galaxy” and check out 2Wink‘s Space Cadet.

Hot Angel or Cool Devil?
The 2wink Hot Angel, Cool Devil is a great looking line. I tried the Hot Angel, but the Cool Devil should fit the same. The boxer briefs are made from a quality blend of cotton and spandex. Quality is evident from the fabric, stitching, and waistband. At $30 AUS ($27 USD) they are a bit more expensive than some but certainly in the ballpark for higher end underwear.
From a style perspective, I thought these were VERY attractive. I really liked the color and cut. In terms of cut, these are a lowrise and sit as such. I found the pouch to have adequate room (could have used a tad more) and the seat to be full coverage (though I would have liked it to sit just a bit higher or have a higher percentage of spandex to have more flex). Overall, these were comfortable so my comments should be taken as me looking for perfection. I would certainly buy and wear these on a regular basis with the current fit. For the leg bands, I found them comfortable and the legs stayed in place – something important to me with a boxer brief.
If you haven’t heard of 2wink before, they’re an Australian brand made in Perth who launched in 2005. They made the decision to bring production back from China to Australia. You can find 2wink in over 30 countries and they rolled out four new designs within this past quarter. They’ll be expanding into swimwear so keep an eye out for them in that market too.
So, are you a Hot Angel or a Cool Devil?
