I bought these shorts after reviewing dozens of others in preparation for training and participating in my first olympic triathalon. I was most concerned for the durability of my tri shorts since I am doing a fair amount of training in a chlorinated pool. After three weeks of training in them I am really pleased. They are comfortable even when transitioning from swimming to running or biking. So far there are no signs of wear (but time will tell). The chamois is thin, but still comfortable enough on the bike. The one down side: I wish they had a pocket.

Used this for my first ever sprint triathlon and loved them! Pros: Just enough padding for the bike ride but not too cumbersome for the swim and run. Can use them in the pool without damaging them. Cons: Runs a little small. I ordered a size larger than normal and they worked out better.
