Triathlon Shorts (Read 405 times)

Any suggestions on triathlon shorts and where to buy them at?  I'm not overly commited to this sport so I don't want/need the high tech stuff.  Just something good to do my swim training in and for use during my OLY in the summer. 

 

The local trek store has some Pearl Izumi's "Tri short" for $55 but that is full price.  No way I should have to pay full price.  I do like them though as they are black which is the preferred color.

 

Any thoughts/suggestions?

Don't do your swim training in your tri shorts.  They'll wear out fast from the chlorine.  I do all my swimming in polyester jammers like these.  Actually I mostly wear my nike jammers but with the current sale the club swim ones are a great deal.  I have one pair of them and they are a little less comfortable but they still last forever like other polyester jammers.

For tri shorts I shop at these stores and usually wait for close out items.  I've given up shopping for tri shirts online cause it's so hard to find one that fit right.
