This TriShort runs small.  The cut was great, the quality is really tops, but the leg bands were way too constricting for my thighs!  For those women who have a thin thighs, this would be a top choice.

Used for a hot weather sprint tri and the shorts worked well.  I haven't biked over 18 miles in them but they offered reasonable padding for the 18.  Lots of seams so use Body Glide if seams bother you.  I liked swiming and running in these shorts and didn't even notice the padding.

I'm a beginner sprint triathlete, and I bought these shorts to go with the tyr power support top.  They stay in place for all three events.   There's a small amount of padding for the bike ride, so they do take on a little water in the swim but it dries out on the ride.  Overall a great product.
