“Good for its cost”

“It is very difficult to find a pair of triathlon shorts for training. These are probably the best out there considering the cost. They are not made for swimming pool and its chemicals. So they do wear down. After several months of wear they become looser and can become revealing. The other options aren't much better though. They cost more---sometimes much, much more. And they aren't built for the pool. So that's the pool/swimming description. They are ok on bikes. The Chamois is small, but useful. I can't see how having a large amount of padding water logged after you swim is a good atribute for a pair of tri-shorts. These are fine for shorter lengths on a bike. But, I imagine if you're an Ironman triathlete they might not measure up. They aren't that bad to run in at all. Since the chamois is small and the length isn't that long it doesn't hinder your stride length too much. Bottom line: Good for short (sprint) triathlons. And not much more can be expected of them considering the lower price than others.”
