De Soto Forza Tri Short 4-Pocket - FTF3

I originally ordered these in a small. Which was recommended in the sizing chart for me. Tried them on. Lost will you live. Returned and ordered mediums. Still very tight. Movement minimum. The other issue was where if I go into aero position on the bike I will be disqualified for indecent exposure. I remember the women’s low rider jeans fad and apparently De Soto wants to relive that time.Also didn’t receive them till after return date. So now I guess I won’t waste my money and walk around the house traumatizing my family.

Normally on other brands, I would wear mediums to fit. On this item, unless you are really a slender fit, you should order large.

Surprisingly nice. Run small though. Go up one size from what you normally would wear. I might have to return mine to get a bigger size.

Bought these based on reviews that Forza shorts were excellent, just pricey. I've worn them 4 times (Iron, half iron, 2x Olympic) just on the swim and bike parts and seem in the crotch area is already coming free. Considering the cost of these compared to other options in the market, I'm highly disappointed to see damage already.

These are excellent. Ran the NYC triathlon in these and felt pretty god-like.

This tri-shorts provide irritation-free performance. No chaffing. No rubbing. Seamless performance!!!

First fabric and pad are best material and I compare to other 3 brands that I have. My main issue with sizing . I'm usually size L , now even lost some weight so can go to M demands on the brand . Unfortunately way to tight/small and hang low. Main issue with lags and thighs. I'm 166 to 170 lb with 5'11 height , but L is too tight for me while I have no with waist I'm 32 .
