FORZA TRI SHORT HIGHRISE 4-POCKET*









If you have something you wish to hide at your midsection, or nothing you want to show, this is the short for you. It is designed for the athlete who likes to wear his short around his waist, instead of on his hips. Made with all the same Forza Compressor fabric, the 4mm integrated pad, Mobius Comfort Compression Leg Bands, and the same construction as the best-selling Forza Tri Short 4-Pocket (FTF3), the only difference is the rise of this new short is about 2 inches higher.

Not only the best tri-shorts - the best cycling shorts
This is my 4th pair in the last 8 years. The padding is amazing, it provides good cushioning without absorbing water, on the run, you won’t even notice it’s there. They are the best triathlon shorts and the best long ride cycling shorts. And for running they are up there with any high end compression running shorts. PS: you won’t feet any drag on the swim either.

Tri shorts for the seasoned triat
I bought these for my 60ish year old husband who is still quite the beast at ironman. He appreciated the higher rise as he is 6’4”. He’s tried so many shorts that due to the lower rise just didn’t work for him. Glad I was able to find a great fit for my ironman!!
