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.

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.
