Do any of you own these? What are they like? I have a new pair of DeSoto Forza Tri shorts, and the 'pad' seems like it's just nothing - which is fine for shorter races.
I was going to try them for my long rides and whatnot, but I admit I'm skeptical. I have an older model of DeSoto's tri short and I've used them successfully up to half IM distance. I can see the Forza tri short doing the same.
For my last IM I used my Pearl Izumi microsensor short for the bike leg. In general, I seem to be more comfortable with a more substantial pad on my bike.
Anyway, I'd appreciate any input on the 400 mile short. No stores around here carry the DeSoto stuff, so I can't really go check them out somewhere. I was simply trying to figure out if there was something I could wear for the entire race, or at least swim and bike, so it would be one less thing to deal with on race day.
Thanks!
