The size chart above should serve as a general guide. If you would like assistance in determining the proper size, please send the following information to contact@desotosport.com.

BUST - Fullest part of breast, measured as the largest part of circumference right over the pectoral muscle.
WAIST -  Circumference measured at the belly-button line - this is NOT the same as your pants waist size.
HIPS - Circumference measured at the widest point, NOT at your hips where your belt may go. Typically this will measure just a few inches below your hip bones and around the largest part of the glutes.

 

If you do not have a tape measure and you need something to measure with, use a belt, or smart phone power cord, and a ruler.

Customer feedback indicates sizing down if you are between sizes.

    Newbie Triathlete Approved

    I'm new to the triathlon sport. I'm a runner and began biking while recovering from an injury. I loved it! Told my PT I was considering a triathlon and she loved it! She is an accomplished triathlete! I turned 50 this year, learned how to swim more than a doggie paddle and completed my 1st triathlon in the White Mountains of NH. These shorts paired with my full zip cooling top in Entropy of Color were PHENOMENAL! They were great under my wetsuit and fantastic during the ride and run. No chafing and just the right amount of padding in the shorts. I am in love with Triathlons and in love with De Soto! I'm a customer for life! Customer service is great for help with sizing!!

    Perfect tri short- great quality

    Theae tri shorts have a comfortable hight waist. They look great on and fit perfectly around the legs. I just used them for training and racing and loved them.

    Great product

    Wore them for half Ironman recently and will be using them for the full Ironman Australian race in a couple of weeks time. Very comfortable and practicle - slightly longer leg length which I like.

    First 70.3

    Amazing shorts! I did my first 70.3 in them. I have tried other tri shorts but the padding was too thin. I was worried about bumping the padding up for the run, but they did great there too. If I ever do another one- these will be my go-to shorts! I am incredibly happy with them!

    Love the pad!

    DeSoto has the best cycling chamois for women of any trisuits that I’ve researched or owned. The only thing I would change would be to make the waist a bit higher, but then I have a 60 year old tummy to cover. :) They have the “cooler” material added, so I’m looking forward to the warmer weather to see how it feels.

    Best Tri shorts to date

    I’ve been having relationship issues with my saddle lately, and was worried that none of my tri shorts would be help make even a 25 mile ride very tolerable. The Riviera, with the thicker chamois, is the most comfortable tri short I’ve found. I’ve ridden for an hour and half with no issues, which is great. Also ran off the bike once, and they were very comfortable. Love the side pocket!

    Most comfortable tri shorts ever!!!

    These are the tri shorts I've been looking for for 10 years. They are supportive but not overly constricting, the pad is the most comfortable on the bike of any tri short I've experienced, and running in them is easy. I love the drawstring which ensures you get the perfect fit for that day. Wore these for a half IM and could probably wear for a full (if I was still doing that distance). Please don't ever retire these!!!

    LOVE LOVE LOVE these shorts!!!

    They are comfy & HAVE POCKETS!!! Just the perfect amount of padding that is comfy but you don’t feel like you are wearing a diaper. I wish I could afford all colors!

    Buy a size up

    Cut a little small but other than that, they're great. I ride a recumbent so don't need a big chamois; these are perfect for riding in a "legs up" position; the light structured chamois insures comfort and modesty.
