DeSoto Men's Forza Tri Short

These shorts are one of the best items of tri kit I have purchased. They are obviously extremely well made of high quality fabrics. They fit and feel right in all the right places. Just the right amount of compression. They are very comfortable on the bike for long rides (better than some of my bike shorts) and easy to run in. I cannot rate these highly enough and I have since purchased more DeSoto gear. It's the higher end price wise, but it's the top end of quality.

These are not just pricey shorts, but a functional piece of equipment. Being a cheap person, I felt funny about buying these, but during first bike ride the cooling feature at the front of the quads kicked in and I was in love with these shorts. Yes, the compression is formidable. Error on the larger size if in doubt and you will be fine. I'm 5'9", 180 lbs and I have the L size. They are tight (appropriately so) and the correct size for me. The compression is not distracting on the rides/runs.
