Sparx Elite Men Triathlon Short Tri Shorts Cycling Bike Swim Run Shorts

Light and airy with a thin pad that are very sharp looking. I have only had them for a couple weeks and primarily for cycling so I don't have any insight into durability. That said, they appear to be well made.About fit: I typically wear medium in cycling shorts, 32" waist in street clothes. I bought a large size after reading comments. The waist feels okay but the legs are a little loose... and my thighs are not small by any stretch of the imagination. I do find myself having to pull them down occasionally.Maybe I will try a medium next time around if these end up being durable.

The fit is maybe a tad small, but I'm a bit gifted downstairs and might not be the best judge. But so far these tri-shorts perform well on the bike and in the pool. They contain my ample package but not so much that the women in the tri-club have stopped asking to swim in my pool lane. They all compliment my umm, performance in these shorts.

Colors look great and the materials are fine. I wanted to like these b/c the price was good and they look nice - until you get to the bottom. The legs are way to loose. I feel like I have pretty average size legs and the bottoms were not tight like they need to be on tri shorts.

I have used these exact model before and loved them (the orange ones). However, Sparx changed the padding inside and it is terrible (the blue ones). The old pair was just plain pad- perfect for tri shorts. The new pad has some horrible 'quilting' which I can feel and some kind of bumps in the padding. I really loved the old pair and I am disappointed that Sparx changed the padding. I use a CObb saddle on a tri-bike and don't need all the padding.

I have been wearing a pair of these for a few weeks and found them to be very comfortable, even on long rides. So much so I ordered another pair. My only complaint concerns the side pockets. The pockets on my first pair were large enough to safely carry my cell phone, etc. The pockets on the new pair are too small to carry much of anything. That is quite disappointing!

Very comfortable. Thin padding doesn't feel like running in a diaper. With a drawstring, they stay in place. Works great under tights for cold weather runs and rides.

I do like these shorts HOWEVER - I do not like the silicone gel band on the legs - Please change the description to say that these shorts DO have the silicone band on the leg - I have returned these for this reason and will order others that hopefully if listed WITHOUT silicone band - will NOT have the silicone band on them.

I bought my first pair because I needed a cheap pair for the last race of the season. I have bought a total of 5 pair and am replacing all of my old bike and tri shorts. So far they have all fit as described and are a great value for the price. They are comfortable and with the exception of the screen printed label on the outside of the shorts, they have held up to all of my riding. I will buy more.
