Tri Shorts

There’s so much to consider when searching for triathlon clothes. Unlike other sports and cycling clothing, triathlon apparel has to have your back during swimming, cycling and running. Luckily for you, we supply an amazing range of tri suits, tops, jerseys, and shorts for men and women. Browse all our triathlon clothes here to find your perfect fit, and feel comfortable throughout your next race, from start to finish.

What is the Difference Between Tri Shorts and Cycling Shorts?

Triathlon shorts are specifically designed to provide comfort during all stages of a triathlon. Unlike cycling shorts which feature generous chamois padding, tri shorts are crafted with a thinner, non-absorbent foam that repels water, enhancing comfort throughout the race.

Can You Wear Cycling Shorts for a Triathlon?

While there is no rule preventing you from wearing cycling shorts during a triathlon, we recommend opting for our padded tri shorts. The thicker chamois used in traditional cycling shorts will absorb more water during the swimming stage, which can both slow you down and increase chafing.
