minimal padding, no pockets.  Works fine on bike or run

Did exactly what you envision it to.  Bought it for my first triathlon in 16 years.  Swam, biked, and ran in it.  Worth the money.

Using these for my first Tri and so far they work great. They're comfortable and look cool without huge logos on them. They do what they're supposed to do. And they didn't cost an arm and a leg.

Could use slightly more padding, but not bad.  Will be good for a sprint tri.

haven't used in triathlon yet but is great for swimming. was concerned with loose size reviews from prior buyers so looked at speedousa.com for size chart instead of what this site has. i'm 5'10 175 lbs and i bought a medium which is perfect. a bit expensive though.

I really like these.  Great fit and not too much padding.
