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.
