      Great fit, quality product.

      Third pair I’ve ordered over past several years. These are excellent for training and competing!

      Same amazing durable material, just cut shorter at the waist.

      Well, I’m not sure I’d wear them in public, but they’re fantastic for Zwifting. I tend to roll shorts down at the wait to take the pressure off my waist and down onto my hips. These shorts require no roll down. I love them!

      Great fitting shorts

      As always De soto shorts are incredible. Love the low cut waist. Pad is minimal but fine for short efforts. No restrictions while running.

      Another DeSoto Win

      A dream that never seems to end. I wish someone would make more low rise bike and running shorts.

      Indoor cycling, outdoor cycling, and hot yoga!

      These shorts are super flexible and they stay in place without griping your thigh too tight. They work well indoors and out, cycling and running. I also wear them for yoga as they stretch with me without binding.

      Great Tri Shorts

      This is my second pair; wore the first pair out. Super comfortable. Sits low on waist. My favorite Tri Shorts.

      Carrera Tri Shorts = no chafing

      I own maybe 15 pairs of Carrera shorts and bought more over the years. Since the late '90s, these are my favorite. They are good for triathlon, my primary use is long distance running.

      Best running shorts on planet

      Thrighving in These

      Another solid product from De Soto. They're short, and they're low, but if that's what you're looking for, they're also awesome. Pad is super simple and soft. No band at the bottom so no worries of mushrooming out of them if others do that to ya...

      Great shorts!

      I’ve been wearing the Carrera short for 20 years ( before it was even called Carrera, I believe). I don’t do tris or even cycle anymore, but these are what I wear for open water training and races.

      good short for a cool ride

      First pair of De Soto Tri shorts. I did not realized i purchased the “low-cut” and they rode a little low on the waist and it wasn’t my jam (personal choice not the fault of De Soto). The shorts felt great and held up for comfort and staying power for over 45 miles. I immediately came home a purchase a longer short and love them even better!!

      More Low-Cut Please!

      Almost all of the tri shorts and swim suits I find are obnoxiously high waisted. Love the fit of these. Please make more colors/patterns. A swim specific model without the padding would be awesome, too!

      Best training shorts for running ever!

      This is the single best short for running in the world as far as I am concerned! Not too long down the leg, prevents thigh chafing, and as comfortable as being naked.

      Carrera Tri Short - Most comfortable running short ever!

      After increasing discomfort with tight elastic waist banded shorts and longer than comfortable compression-like shorts I found the Carrera tri short and it’s by far the most comfortable running short I’ve ever used. The low cut short remove the waist discomfort and the higher on the thigh short, along with the standard seat and compression comfort makes you feel completely unencumbered and free during the running stride. Highly recommended!

      Great Shorts, inconsistent fit

      The shorts are great, they look good, have just enough padding for the bike ride and are very comfortable. It does seem llike the fit has changed from a previous pair I wore. Although they've always been a low rise, which I generally find most comfortable, it seems like the back is even lower on my new pair. It makes me a little self conscious and I find myself tugging them up frequently.

      Excellent Tri-short!

      The item performed and sized as described on the website. Like previous DeSoto purchases, I am pleased with the quality and features. Highly recommended. The item would go from 4-stars to 5-stars if the material would stretch back to original shape -- the lycra material around the legs appeared to stretch out and not lay cleanly against the leg after the first wear -- distracting but not critical.
