I can't give you any feedback on the Orca's, but I can tell you that the DeSotos are the "real deal"--they live up to the advertising and are the best tri or bike clothing I own. Period.

On top of that, the DeSoto's are backed by phenomenal customer service. If you have a problem (unlikely), they will fix it for you, and if you email them you get Emilio himself.

DeSoto's are definitely worth the $$$ (and no, I don't get paid to wear or endorse their stuff--no ulterior motives here other than customer satisfaction).

I'm very satisfied with my DeSoto Power Tri Shorts. Perfect fit, comfortable in the water, dryes fast, perfect for ride & run. (They are my favorite shorts - I also use them in ordinary marathons.)

I like the DeSoto Power Short. This are very good shorts that give you nice support. I will use them for IM Switzerland this summer.

The DeSoto Power Tri Shorts are now at sale for $31.20. In most shops they are already sold out or only S and XXL are left. DeSoto redesigned many tri clothing. The new line should be aviable in spring.

Just saw at http://www.desotosport.com/ that the new line will be available in March 2003. You can download the a preview in pdf. Personally I liked the 2002 color (color scheme more rthan 2003). DeSoto has also a new wetsuit, the T1 Tres!

The new shorts have a mesh pocket on the right leg (as the new Power Skinsuit).

My vote is for the DeSoto Power Tri Shorts, you would also be hard pressed to find a better person in the business than Emilio. I'm looking forward to an upcoming visit to San Diego and testing out some of the new line.

I have two pair of Desotos and race in them. My only comment is I wish they had better leg gripper. They have been know to ride up, especially when racing off road.
