Regular  66  , New York |  Subject: Best Tri shorts regarding padding???Hello to all!!! I'm looking for anyone who has feedback regarding tri shorts. I am looking for a good pair that especially has good padding for the bike ride. I'm 48yo, 6'0" tall and 247lbs (most of that weight being used to shield my 6-pack abs from prying eyes, lol). I've basically gone from the couch to attempting to complete the NYC Triathlon next month. I've all sorts of concerns, but for now I'm looking to solve this one issue. Any help is appreciated. Thanks and good luck to all in your endeavors!!! |

They make an actual xxl which is a 44 inch waste and the chamis padding is great yet easy when your running. Sometimes I just use them for my long runs. But they are the best I have found on the bike. Hope this helps. |

Last thing I want is my shorts falling down and showing off my plumber crack. Lol, good one. Thanks for the info, I'll check them out. Took a peek at your blog. Hang in there and keep up the good work. Even though you hit a plateau, the fact that you're holding your own and not slipping backwards IS progress. Nice job and congrats and the newest member of your family... |

| New user 14 | Subject: RE: Best Tri shorts regarding padding??? Im currently riding and running in a pair of TYR they are nice. I feel like the pad could be a little thicker but once you have some saddle time in them they are fine. They are great for running in. Im 6'0 255 and the draw string is close to being at the end but I can still tie it enough to keep them from sliding down on me. |

| On your right | Subject: RE: Best Tri shorts regarding padding??? I know I'm late to the party, but my favourite tri shorts are DeSoto's low rise shorts. Either style, but for me, the low rise is the awesome, and the chamois is perfect. |

Extreme Veteran 565 Jenison , MI | Subject: RE: Best Tri shorts regarding padding??? I have 2XU, Zoot, aerotech, Desoto, and Oomph. By far my favorite shorts to bike and run in are the Oomph Lava shorts. The pad is a thin gel pad that keeps my butt comfortable on the bike without feeling like a wet diaper on the run. I even wear then for just runs they are so nice. http://www.oomphsports.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Categ... |

Elite 3495 SE | Subject: RE: Best Tri shorts regarding padding??? i am just skimming through. the issue is never gonna be comfort for a clydes. you think sitting on a flag pole at over 200lbs is gonna be helped by a thin layer of gel, synthetic, etc? You are sadly mistaken. the best thing is to just settle in with a pair and a saddle that hurts the least and get your taint broken in. more miles = more sore in the beginning but less sore as you move on. plain and simple, there is no way to be comfortable on a bike with a big booty. i know. |
