Expert 786    Princeton, MN |  Subject: How long should tri-shorts last?Simple question really. I got a set of Louis garneau shorts for Christmas. After 5 months of swimming twice a week they have lost their shape and elasticity. Have I got good value for money out of them or should I expect more? I followed their washing instructions to the letter. I've never swum with this frequency before so I don't know what to expect. Just curious Ian |

Expert 644 Evansville, IN | Subject: RE: How long should tri-shorts last? Good question Ian. I have a pair of DeSoto trishorts and am experiencing the same thing after just a few months. Think I'll switch to some sort of speedo for pool time and save the tri shorts for brick training and races. |

I got some that I thought were just "well ventilated" because they had vertical lines of mesh-like material. My training buddy helped me realize they are see-through, though. Thank goodness I haven't gone commando with them on before. Yikes!! |

I'll still keep them (probably for the open water swims), but I'm pretty satisfied. They are DeSotos Dana |
