MOBIUS TRI SHORT 4-POCKET*
MTF
The Mobius Tri Short is compressive without excess tightness. We have taken the pattern of the Forza Trishort with 4 pockets, put in a fleece (minimalist) pad, then replaced the Forza Fabric with Mobius™ Comfort Compression fabric. The result is a high performance compression tri short that is comfortable, not tight.

Fantastic fit (I have very strong thighs and many shrts too tight) and the riding pad gives great comfort as I soend many hours in the saddle. The pckets are erfect too for my smartphone even (80mm x 150mm) and of course gels, etc

I’ve been using these shorts for the last 5-6 years, maybe even longer. I love the four holster pockets, plus I’ve got about three pairs, all of them have lasted 3-4 years at least.

Excellent size guide on the website. I went with a Medium and it fit perfect. However the drawstring waist cord is so long. Even when tied there’s over a foot of extra length. It would be a bad idea to cut it off because the plastic trim pieces would make the laces fal inside the short... thus you wouldn’t be able to thread it back through the waist band
Hi Christian, Thanks for the feedback. Glad to hear our sizing guide worked and you love the shorts. Please feel free to remove the draw cord. If you need it again we have a helpful video on how to put it back. You can find it here ~ https://www.desotosport.com/blogs/tips-from-emilio/a-tip-from-emilio-how-to-put-the-drawcord-back-into-your-shorts

the mobius material is the perfect thickness and stretchness. it is a little longer than i like but the cuffs are easy to flip up. and I looooove the low-cut waist

As a longtime and loyal DeSoto customer, I can vouch that these shorts have gotten even better with the latest version. The material is excellent. The pockets are perfect. The quality is top-notch. I use them for all my workouts: running, cycling and yoga.
