FTS3
The Forza Trishort is by far one of the single most popular tri shorts in the world. It is the foundation which started the entire compression industry dating back to 1997, when De Soto Sport was asked to test the very first compression fabrics for the Dupont Textile Company. 2 decades and many improvements later, you simply can't go wrong in owning this short.

What are the differences between Forza Tri Shorts and Riviera Tri Short?

It might seem pricy, but it is worth every penny!!! The first couple of rides felt a little stiff, but now I don’t even feel I am wearing it.
The shammy is comfortable enough for a long bike ride and does not chafe for a transition run either. the fit is perfect and the material is soft. it also wicks away sweat and moisture. I love these.
Great short! Super well made. I might suggest you size up as the medium was smaller than I expected. However, Emilio was GREAT about accepting my request for exchange even after I had worn the short and had cut out the inside label.
In 20 years of racing in training De Soto still offers best in class most effective and comfortable technical short in the world. The compression, comfort, stitching and durability of De Soto try shorts is second to none. I am a 20+ your customer and I’m thankful that De Soto is there to assist me and my fitness journey.
True to size chart. Nice quality throughout. Pricey, but hey.
Comfortable short for cycling and running. I have 2 pairs of the Forza and also a Riviera that has a slightly thicker pad for longer rides. Holding up well with wear so far...
The fit and finish of De Soto’s clothing Is in a league of their own!
Have yet to use them. However, I know I will like them.
Have worn these shorts for several 70.3 Tri's. Super comfortable on the bike and the Run!
Bought this as a replacement for a VERY old tri-kit…WOW….great product. it IS very tight and a low rise (especially) in the back when on the bike, but a very comfortable short. Did a 70.3 and never noticed i was wearing them. Would HIGHLY recommend.
The Tri shorts are great. The fit, compression and size are awesome. This is my 4th pair and love them.
I like the Forza Tri Shorts. The amount of "compression" these shorts provide takes some getting use to. I'm 5'9" 185lb and originally ordered a size large. These were too small and I returned them for a size XL. The material seems durable and the garment is well sewn. I have worn it twice. The first time I felt that the waist was cut too low in the back. The second time I did not notice this as a problem (the length of the jersey may have been longer the second time).
