The size chart above should serve as a general guide. If you would like assistance in determining the proper size, please send the following information to contact@desotosport.com.

WEIGHT - Accuracy helps us provide a more accurate size for you.

CHEST - Fullest part of breast, measured as the largest part of circumference right over the pectoral muscle.

WAIST - Circumference measured at the belly-button line - this is NOT the same as your pants waist size.

HIPS - Circumference measured at the widest point, NOT at your hips where your belt may go. Typically this will measure just a few inches below your hip bones and around the largest part of the glutes.

If you do not have a tape measure and you need something to measure with, use a belt, or smart phone power cord, and a ruler.

This item ships for free within the USA.

2 "swimmable" pockets make the Riviera the "must-have" tri short for non-wetsuit legal swims.

Sizing: Please refer to the size chart button above for sizing guidance.
Fit Type: Compressive
Fit Note – 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 relax slightly once wet.

Seamless inner thigh eliminates friction
3-inch Mobius™ Comfort Compression Leg Band offers equally graduated compression around the legs, you get the same support with no tightness and squeezing.
Two "swimmable" Pockets - one on side of each leg. These pockets create no additional drag when without a wetsuit, and provide storage solutions for the bike and run.
Forza™ Compressor leg panels help reduce delayed onset muscle fatigue
Liftfoil3™ center panels improve durability and make swimming without a wetsuit faster!
Mid-rise waist band with an adjustable drawstring.
This environmentally-friendly innovation is completely free of solvents.
Not recommended for repeated use in a chlorinated pool.

Great fit!

Comfy and well padded but...

Overall I like the product but it doesn't come up very high around the waist. I find myself when I the aero position on the bike my butt crack is hanging out. When paired with the shirt, there is about a a 3 inch gap between the shirt and short when I'm in the aero position. Even on the run the two like to separate. According to the size chart and the rep I spoke too I have the right size. The garments are just too short.

Hi David, You can find inseam and outseam measurements along with the front and rear rises for all of our shorts, on the product page, by each size. This information is provided so you can see where the short will land, and if it is within your preference and comfort before buying. The Riviera is one of our lower-rise shorts and may not be suited for tall athletes or those with long torsos for their height.

Performed as expected. Recommend.

Bought this brand as a relative uses it. Bought this pattern because many of the rest are…boring. Had a concern early on. Emailed company. One of the owners called my cell phone within minutes. Advised how to solve problem and - boom - worked like a charm. Wore the kit for my first tri. Very solid. Highly recommend.

RIVIERA TRI SHORT*

Have not used them yet; planning to this Sunday. I did try them on and they feel very tight. They are a large and I am a 36 waist. I'm hoping they will loosen with wear.

10-06-2022
Hi Tim, Please remember it is more critical to wear triathlon-specific garments very snug because you are usually racing in them when they are wet, either from the swim, or from sweat. They stretch more when wet, so consider trying them on WET. Soak them in water first, ring them out a little bit and try them on. Also: 1. The tightest our products ever feel is the first time you put them on. 2. They do loosen up a bit with a number of wearings and washings, and they never shrink. 3. You want our product to be snug and it is better to be too snug than too loose. 4. Garments that are worn snug will stay against the skin and not rub you. 5. Chafing and rashing is typically caused by garments that are worn too loose as the fabric will rub against the skin.

Race in my Forza shorts and train in my Riviera shorts

I was hoping that the thicker pad in the Riviera shorts would make my longer training rides a little more enjoyable. Mission accomplished!! Plus I picked them up on sale.

Riviera

Great fit and quality material / manufacturing. Used the Riviera tri short for my long training days leading up to IM Maryland. The pad is comfortable on the bike and not noticeable on the run. Highly recommend these shorts for long distance training / events.

Best Ever

Made it through my first Ironman 70.3 wearing these shorts, and I wasn't sure what to expect. Wow!! I am pleased to say they were better than expected. These shorts were comfortable on the bike ride and no chafing whatsoever on the run. Looking forward to my next race.

Ironman worthy shorts

These shorts were great from my recent ironman. Two features stood out for me: (1) There was great padding. Other shorts seemed flimsy, and I doubled up during previous races, but I felt great using these only during the 112 mile bike and (2) I loved the front pocket - great convenience.
