Seem like fine shorts
These seem like fine shorts, but they don't fit me well around the legs (too loose). So I returned them for the Mobius Tri Shorts, which I know work for me for training and racing.

This is to eliminate potential chafing, and unnecessary drag during the swim, bike and run. If you’re not comfortable with this type of fit and or are between sizes, we recommend sizing up. Garment will fit the most snug the first time you put it on, it will relax slightly once wet.

These seem like fine shorts, but they don't fit me well around the legs (too loose). So I returned them for the Mobius Tri Shorts, which I know work for me for training and racing.
I bought these shorts 2 weeks ago. I've worn them twice and they've already lost their form on your thigh. They just slide up and down now, acting like shorts. I emailed customer service and the owner responded promptly and was beyond generous with helping me out. They sent me the mobius tri shorts to try for free and gave me the option of switching the carrera to mobius for free if I liked it. The other option they gave me was to keep the carrera that I bought and buy the mobius with 40% discount. I do like the mobius a lot. I elected to keep the carrera that I’ll use for training, and wear the mobius for race days. I personally wouldn’t purchase the carrera again but would strongly recommend the mobius. I was beyond impressed with their customer service. They treated me with respect, were very generous and very prompt with finding a resolution. I will definitely be purchasing other products from them in the near future.
I don’t really like the pockets, but these shorts are offered in all black, so I got them.
I mostly use these for the gym, where I do strength training, spinning and running, as well as outdoor runs. They save my Forza shorts for outdoor riding or brick (ride/run) workouts. I can put my keys, ear pods and even my phone in the pockets while I exercise.
fabric is robust but comfortable against the skin
I bought these for running marathons & 50k races, not triathlons. I really like having pockets on long runs. The shorts are well suited for summertime running too. Size is true. Pricey but considering what they're covering, worth every penny.
Excellent. It's my 2nd pair as I wore out the 1st

Great short and fit. Best microfiber on the market. De Soto!
I love this. I am not a fan of bike shorts that go half way up my tummy or all the way to the knees. These are a little low rise (but not too low) and the legs are a little short (but not too short). I now have 4 or 5 of these
these are pretty low rise (but not super low like the other carreras). I am not a fan of high rise bike shorts so these are perfect. Also the fabric is a little more robust, which is great for both comfort and moisture control
I raced Xterra Tahoe City in them and they were great! Nice side pocket for a gel.
excellent. comfortable. Not too tight. Just enough padding.
I love these because they are lower rise than most shorts (but Not as low as the low-cut Carrera). Also they have a little more heft without being binding. And the fabric is super comfortable. I have 3 pairs
I really like these shorts. They are comfortable as well as practical for multiple fitness pursuits. The pockets come in handy and are well placed. I find them easy to care for as well-I simply rinse thoroughly with fresh water and air dry.
