2XUWomen's Comp Triathlon Short

Very comfortable, worked great. Bought these for my first Sprint Triathlon, and they were just what I needed (and matched my bike!). Chamois dried faster than my jersey, no chafing, no sausage legs. The stitching at the hips was a little tight when I pulled on the shorts (a few stitched popped when I first pulled them on), but nothing is falling apart. I usually wear a size 2/4, and the small was the right size. Definitely would recommend to a friend, especially for the price (already did!)

Very very tight fit, and ordered according the measurement chart. However, the leg elastics are big. They aren't stretched at all. Maybe meant for someone who is super thin with big legs?? The fabric seems to chaff. Not the most comfortable, but they will do for short rides.

These are the most comfortable tri shorts I own. Fully lined so there is no see-through. The pad is really substantial.I could easily bike long distances in this short. The legs are very snug -- feels like compression -- but the gripper legs don't squeeze too much. No sausage legs. They look great No riding up. A fairly low waist in the back but no plumbers crack. They hit about mid thigh. Not too long, not too short The lines are flattering. My only complaint is that the pad is a little bulky for running. But over all, for the price, I was totally impressed.

I am 5'5" tall, weigh about 116 lbs. and wear a size small in Pearl Izumi cycling shorts. For regular clothes I usually wear a woman's size 2, sometimes a 4. I ordered a small 2XU based on the comments from others saying they fit true to size. Well, they don't. They are much too small and I really need a Medium, perhaps even a Large. I am unable to use these shorts and doubt I will ever order 2XU again. I cannot really comment on any other aspect of the short since I was not able to get them on or try them so I don't know how the feel would be when riding.

I usually wear a medium and the fit is true. I wore these shorts in a sprint triathlon and they were excellent. The padding is just enough for the bike but not in the way for the swim or run. I did find the waist rolling down a bit during the bike portion of my race. But other than that I'm totally satisfied with the product. So much easier to use the restroom before and after the race than trying to get into and out of a tri suit!

The shorts are comfortable for all three events. The chamois dried quickly. I thought I would have to hike the shorts up while running but so far, they seem OK. I have 2 disappointments - the color - navy shorts with mint green and nothing to go with them. Apparently 2XU doesn't make a matching top. What is with that? I should have thought about that before I ordered them. Also, the low cut and lack of drawstring are my biggest concern. While these shorts are OK with my long cycling shirts, they leave my lower back bare with my tri-top.

I have worn this in two triathlons (sprint triathlons). I am a little overweight and most triathletes are not. For me, finding triathlon gear that fits ok is difficult. I really like these. The fit was good. They are great for swim, bike and run. You can wear them simply for biking or running also. They hold up after several washes and uses.

These shorts work great for a triathalon. The padding is adequate to protect on the bike ride, while being thin enough to dry quickly. They fit as expected; tight to keep water out, but not too tight.

Lived up to my expectations and will definitely get me anthother pair. And the size guideline was very helpful too.
