Zoot Women's Core + Tri 8" Short

These are perfect for a comfortable swim, bike and run for me. Large fit me perfect, at 148lbs, & 5'5". The 8" is a nice length, provides great coverage of thighs. Pad is thin and works for all three events. I do not use these shorts for normal training rides. Some might consider adjusting seat height on race day if they routinely train with a thicker pad. These are very thin, but great for the swim and run.

I completed a sprint triathlon in these through some rough ocean waves and undertow and they stayed on well! I have also done some 50 mile rides and long runs and they were comfortable. I like the slim pockets for your gels.

Fit is good. They stay in place. the band around the bottom is comfortable and doesn’t feel like it’s squeezing the life out of you. I would buy them again. The only thing is the zoot label already pilled off of one side but I do love the way they fit him feel.

I am so happy with these shorts! They don't chafe or rub at all. AND they stay in place and don't have to be adjusted while I'm moving. I have swam, biked and run in them, and they work perfect. I was fearful they would be too hot to run in (I'm used to wearing the flouncy running shorts), but I now prefer wearing these since I don't even realize I have them on.

I ordered this short to serve as the bottom half of a 2-pc tri suit as i was done battling my previous 1-pc tri-suit in the porta-potties. This short felt comfortable and fit true to the size description. I didn't have any issues with it as I competed in the Triathlon last week.
