Thank you.
Had what it seemed an issue with threads broken at the seams initially (turned out to be not an issue). Ended up returning the shorts for an exchange and had a top notch experience with customer service.
I use it for both indoor and out door and woks out well
I could not be more pleased with this purchase. First, I spoke with Emilio De Soto, owner of the Company, who happened to be available and took my call personally. I had a few concerns and questions, and he was able to allay the concerns and answer the questions. I ended up purchasing the shorts for my first triathlon. And it felt like I wasn't even wearing them, which is what you ultimately want. The comfort and breathability were unmatched, as I went from swim to bike to run without losing time to changing nor sacrificing comfort. I will be using these for many more races and am now a De Soto brand loyalist!
Must have for triathletes
These are my favorite shorts for tri going to back from my first pair 15 yrs ago. They are great for the bike for me on short course, but where they really shine is long course run. The fleece pad does not chafe like regular spandex does for me. But the BEST part is the Forza fabric. The compression does amazing things for the quads, hamstrings, and hips over the long run. Thank you for continuing to make an awesome product
Loved loved the pockets and overall comfort!
Great company to work with. Very helpful. Tri top and shorts fit great and are very comfortable.
These shorts are great, they fit well and give good support, but oh boy they are expensive.
So the only reason I give these 4stars is because they are very tight on me for medium and ride low around the waste. Once I get these on, they are very comfortable riding 1-3 hours, and probably the best Tri shorts I’ve used for running. No chafing and they dry quickly. Only beef while riding is they slide off my seat more than my other kits, so I have to readjust my aero position more frequently. Again not a huge deal.
Fantastic. The shorts delivered on performance, comfort, and durability so far. Besides a great product, DeSoto has great customer service. Prompt response, attention to detail, excellent communication with customers.
I find the pockets in the shorts much easier to use compared to the jersey pockets! In fact these pockets are essential!
I have been wearing De Soto Tri shorts for 20 years they are the only shorts I wear biking and running. I recommend them to everyone. also some of the best customer service out there.
