Zoot Core Men's 9-Inch Triathlon Shorts - High-Performance Swim Bike Run Shorts with Endura Fabric & Hip Holster Pockets - Ideal for Triathlons, Cycling & Outdoor Training

for some reason there is a "section" added at the bottom of the leg (see picture) instead of being a single piece. And that section is loose, like it was cut too big. Not sure the logic behind that cut.The rest is OK, sizing seems to work, padding is good.I like the weight of the material which gave good compression on my thighs. I liked the red trim. I got size L (I'm 5'8" and 160 pounds) which was fine at waist and top of my thighs, but the last two inches were not tight on my legs above my knees. I figured if I used them swimming that they would probably get even more loose. The seat pad was thin like I was looking for so it probably would have been comfortable when swimming. The 9" length was good. But because it was loose on the bottom I sent them back.The fit is great. Very comfortable. Love the pockets. Did my all three splits of my full Ironman in them with no chafing, no saddle soreness.After a 10 year lay off, I decided to start training again. Zoot is one of the brands I really liked and as soon as I saw these tri-shorts, I bypassed the competition, and bought them immediately. The fit just right, are true to size (yes they stretch), and are tight in the right places. They last forever. The only reason why I didn’t use my old ones... I went up a size after my hiatus.After only a few times swimming and riding the bottom of the shorts above the knee have lost shape and are loose! I contacted Zoot and they said check Amazon return policy. I think they are no longer returnable so in effect Zoot will not warranty their product.Worked as well as advertised. I will be purchasing more in the future.The pad is a lot more narrow than others TRI shorts I’ve used. They were very uncomfortable the first time I rode in they. They got better and we’re fine for a 75 mile ride over the weekend. Quality is great.El producto se ve de calidad pero me quedo muy grande
