WOMEN'S MICRO TRI SHORT*
Fit Note: We recommend ordering a size smaller in this short than previous versions (WMTS, WMTS2, WMTS1)
Sizing: Please refer to the size chart button above for sizing guidance.
Fit Type: Form-Fitted
Fit Note: Please do not assume your size is the same as in previous years, please use our size chart and if in doubt, email us: femme@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.
NEW FEATURE: We eliminated the wide elastic waistband to avoid unwanted bulging when drawcord is pulled.

United StatesBike shorts
When I was regularly triathlon training a decade ago I started buying bike shorts for my wife as she never liked the thicker pad in many bike shorts. I'm still buying them for her as she is much more comfortable in the Desoto shorts.
United StatesLove them!
Used these for my first half ironman and they worked perfectly! Functional with a flattering fit.

I really like the improvements made on this short. I’m not crazy about the side pockets, but more from an aesthetic point of view than function. The small is a plus. I do a lot of biking and the usual pad in biking shorts is a little much for me. The higher waist band is also a great improvement. I think I have 3 pairs of the old style, which were in desperate need of replacement and 3 pairs of the new version. Love DeSoto!!
