Member 24 Washington DC |  Subject: tri shortsI am on what seems to be a neverending quest for a well fitting pair of tri shorts. I have bike shorts, running shorts, running skirts, you name it....but I cannot find a good pair of tri shorts for competing. I am trying to find the right combination of compression and comfort. I like a lot of compression, but then I tend to have them cut into my chub at the waitstline. Cutting into chub = not comfortable and NOT attractive either! |

Expert 724  Simi Valley | Subject: RE: tri shorts Not sure what dimensions you are - but I am 6'4 300 pounds - which works out to about a 44 in waist. I wear a pair of Pearl Izumi XXL trishorts - they compress well through the legs and the waist band is large enough that even at my size I have to use the draw string. |

Champion 5615 | Subject: RE: tri shorts I'm a big fan of the DeSoto Forza tri shorts and the Oomph tri shorts. The Oomphs get a bigger thumbs up on the waist-comfort scale but the DeSotos seem to be better for leg compression. |
