I use the trishort for running, swimming and biking and it feels great.
Very comfortable biking and the right compression for running and I love the fact that this short is not so long in the legs.
The down point is the instructions says this trishort is not design to swim in chlorine water. Because I really like the short, I order a second one just incase it falls apart. So far so good.

Overall, I like these shorts so far.  They work great for swimming and I suspect the will be fine for short''ish rides and runs.  I will update this review after I''ve had a few of each in them.

I have several pair of these shorts.  I am primarily a cyclist and runner during the warm weather, but I have begun training for my first triathlon and thus have to get comfortable swimming.  I purchased these shorts as my first dedicated multi-sport attire.

To date, I have used these only in the pool.  They fit nicely and feel like mild compression shorts rather than bike shorts.  They work great in the pool.  There is a pad, though it is much thinner and less obtrusive than in typical bike shorts (Note: for comparison, I wear Pearl Izumi Attack shorts for cycling).  

I don''t know how well these shorts work for me on the bike and during the run.  I suspect they will be fine for short rides (20 miles or so), though only time will tell for me.  I HATE numbness, so if they hold up for that distance, I will be happy.

On the flip side, the thinness of the pad should make it almost unnoticeable while running.  I don''t particularly notice it when I am walking to and from the pool or while I''m in the water.  I''m hoping that will carry over to the run as well.

Training for my first tri, and these shorts are perfect for all three legs. The chamois offers just enough padding and dries quick enough. And the fit is comfortable.

sized slightly small, if your ordering borderline error ordering up, but as far as the quality and price I'm more than happy. I really like this website.

Haven't used them in a race yet, but initial trial seems fine.

Used in 2 sprint tri's this summer and it didn't bother me at all. In fact swimming was better than ever and it dried quickly and quietly on the bike. I only wish they made an identical model for use in chlorine.
