great bike shorts
I'm a mountain biker (northeast), they stayed put and my phone fit the pocket. The thin chamois was more protective than I thought it would be!

I like them, but wish they were a touch longer
I ordered the small and XS. The XS fit my waist and hips wonderfully, but felt a touch short. The small fit my waist and hips a bit loser, and in order to feel comfortable I had to pull the drawstring very snug, and it left a gap along my hips, which I did not like, BUT the SMALL had a much better length (along my thighs) in my opinion. I have worn and washed them twice, and I can definitely say they fit my hips, waist and bum wonderfully - they feel properly snug when I work out and I love the new longer padding. The ONLY CON for me is that the XS is just a touch short, if they were 1/4 inch longer they would be perfect. I would say definitely buy them, you can't beat the comfort in the proper places!

Awesome shorts
I can’t say enough about these shorts. This was my third pair. Fabric is so soft and comfortable, they move with your body, no binding or rubbing. I won’t buy anything else. Worth every penny!

Perfect short sleeve shirt!
I love the fit, length, and material of this shirt. I wear it under my hydration vest to help eliminate chafing from the vest and the shirt keeps me nice and cool! Definitely recommend.

Works for me!
I had to exchange the micro short for the tri short for a bit more coverage! Service was great for the exchange and the new shorts came quickly.

Great shorts
These shorts are great. The shammie insert has no seams, so no chaffing. The fabric is extra soft and the pockets are the best. They are deep enough to hold things with out them falling out or jingling. I bought 2 pair within a month. Worth every penny!

Greatest pair of tri shorts I have had
These are great. The inside shamie has no rough edges, the fabric is so soft and the outside pockets hold things secure without pinching. I am about to buy another pair.

As delicious as every other pair!
As a long time fan of the Carrera, I am so thrilled to say that they just keep feeling better and better. Definitely not the sausage leg of other shorts and I couldn't feel more comfortable. These and the matching top will be perfect for my first 70.3.

Step away from the scissors
Ever wish you could “feel” like your running or riding naked without having the chamois/padding rubbing you the wrong way or the elastic waistband cutting you in half? Hello Desoto Carrera Tri Short, so glad we met. I have trimmed out several pads from other brands to avoid the awful chafing caused by bulky or awkward chamois. I can put my scissors away because there will be no trimming on my Desoto Carrera Tri shorts! The waistband is comfortable on my tummy and the chamois pad is cozy enough for riding and running. Oh, and the pockets, I love the pockets!!

First tri, best tri kit!
The Carerra tri short was comfortable in and out of the water. I trained in them and found that they got more comfortable as I wore them. Tri day the only thing I wasn't worried about was my tri kit. Shorts didn't bind and my tri top (Forza Tri Jersey) dried quickly and kept me cool on the bike and run. Pockets on both were great for training rides to keep everything within reach. DeSoto was a recommendation from a trusted triathlete, my sister! So glad she recommended you all.
