I've been thinking of trying some SAOS Tri shorts. I like shorts with a pretty minimal pad and lots of pockets for gels, e-caps, Chapstick, etc. What are your thoughts on SOAS? Does the sizing run true? Thanks!


I am super fussy about triathlon clothes in regards to comfort and style. In fact I wouldn't join our local tri club nor the QT2 racing team because I knew I'd be unhappy in the team tri-kits. I hate short tops (esp where your stomach hangs out) and I hate wearing long bike shorts which seems to be so typical in triathlon clothes. SOAS is perfect for me. Nice cute shorts that are well above the knees. And the tops are the perfect length. Your tummy and back will be covered even in the aero position. And you'll look good! :-)

The sizes run true. I'm 5'7" and weigh in the low 120s so a medium tri kit fits perfectly. Super comfy and very flattering. I love the shorter shorts w/o that awful elastic at the end. And the racer back tank top shirts are comfy and cool! I don't like the tri tops with the zipper in the front and having my upper back completely covered in material. SOAS has none of that. And you can find nice lighter colors which I prefer for warm weather (what's up with all the black tri kits). I will purchase another kit from SOAS for next season. Pricey but I believe the clothes are made in the US. I find SOAS totally worth it! Can't go wrong. Would also love to invest in some SOAS running shorts. Those look really nice and sharp!

Death is easy....peaceful. Life is harder.
