Zoot Men’s Core 7-Inch Tri Shorts, Quick Dry Performance Triathlon Shorts with Cycling Chamois Pad, Pockets & UPF 50+ Fabric

I have a hard time finding compression clothing that fits well. at 5'10" and 200 lbs I'm no skinny triathlete! I'm built more like a UFC wrestler. These XL size shorts fit my thick boy thighs like custom made shorts. Finally, I have found shorts that don't strangle each leg that tend to have those too tight thigh grippy ends on each leg! The pad in these shorts is minimal which is ideal for swims, runs, or even short to medium length rides, but I don't think these tri shorts are the best choice for +4hr long bike rides or ultra distance triathlons. I will be buying more of these shorts!

This is my third pair (the other two are still in great shape) and I love them. Overall the fit (size one size up) leg bands (nice and wide) the thin chamois, and a “modesty lining” make these an awesome pair of multi sport shorts. I wear these just about all year round wither under shorts for MTB, winter layers for FTB or by themselves for road rides. They are awesome when you travel and have limited space in the bag. The chamois is particularly interesting - it’s there - it does it’s job - but doesn’t feel like a diaper. Pretty awesome. Swimming - ok - I’ve only used these in lakes to cool off and muscle recovery - no problem - the dry almost instantly (ok - not quite but you get the drift. Overall and awesome pair of shorts!

great product, so much more than just Tri-shorts.

The Zoot Core is a decent light, but comfortably padded short.Pros: sits in place Thinner padding so no bulking 2” leg gripping bands to keep from crawlingCons: they tend to run small for ZootsOverall: if you are looking for a nice riding short that offers some cushion without the bulk, these are nice to have in the closet.I have purchased Zoots upper end shorts in the past and I wear a small. With the Core, I had to send the small back and exchange for medium. The small were too tight, the medium were better but not quite tight enough. I must be an in between fit.I would purchase these again.

These are great tri biking shorts---thin material yet very good compression feel. They dry quickly after exiting the water or in a rain shower, look great too and have adequate padding as well=---just a really great product and great pricing too!

I bought Zoot triathlon pants before. They lasted very long (in fact I’m still using them for training. The new ones are like the old ones: very comfortable for both bike riding and running. The padding is sufficient but not so big that it is in the way while running. Recommended!

So far the seem great. I weigh 160 and am 6’ tall. At first I thought the padding seemed pretty light (compared to my bike bibs) but I just finished a 1 hour ride and they were really comfortable. Also I got a medium which felt a little too snug at first but once riding I did not notice them anymore. I have not tried running or swimming in these yet.

I really like them it’s my second pair. My first pair is 10 years old and still good.
