Fit Type: Form-Fitted
Fit Note: Please do not assume your size, please use our size chart. If in doubt, email questions to contact@desotosport.com. Triathlon apparel is meant to fit next-to-skin. 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.

United StatesLong time customer. Desoto has been my “go to “ shorts for years. I only wish they were available in more colors. Years ago there was a silver color I really liked.
United StatesThese shorts are really comfortable! The pockets are great and they are great for multitasking workouts. I have worn them for short swims, runs, and bike rides and they work perfectly. I am not certain that they will be a great choice for racing or longer rides but I love wearing them for workouts and will look forward to buying a second pair!
United StatesGreat fit and extremely comfortable pad
SwitzerlandThank you very much for providing such a comfortable Tri short. The fit and material are perfect. The invisipad protects you very well and at same time very comfortable on bike and run. Well done and never stop researching and improving your tri cloths. Thank you
United StatesThey are both nice. I did five rides in each pair. Busy week. They are good. Definitely something I could wear for a race. I feel like they both shrank. Maybe the washing. I went on your website to see if there were special washing instructions, but couldn’t find any. I’ll likely need to get a new pair if they get any shorter. That said, definitely the right product for triathlons.
Hello Tate, Thanks for your nice review of the Carrera Tri Shorts. Our products do not shrink, but perhaps if the short found its way into a dryer, they may feel like they did, but once you put them on you will see the shorts will retain their original fit. In fact here are some basic characteristics as shown on the size charts on our website: As you begin to determine what size is best for you, remember: The tightest our products ever feel is the first time you put them on. They do loosen up a bit with a number of wearings and washings, and they never shrink. You want our product to be snug and it is better to be too snug than too loose. Garments that are worn snug will stay against the skin and not rub you. Chafing and rashing is typically caused by garments that are worn too loose as the fabric will rub against the skin. Kind regards, Emilio
