I saw these shorts yesterday and was wondering if anyone has tried them. They seem to be pretty much half way between the felt padding of the zoot shorts and the diaper they call a race pad in the DeSoto 300 mile shorts. I tried the 300 mile shorts and they are a really nice riding short, just too bulky of a pad for me to run in really.
I’ve recently got a pair for training - I cant wear normal running shorts due to thigh rubbing and lack of crotch support! These are pretty good shorts, a bit more of a pad than DeSoto Power shorts (my favourites) but you wont feel it at all. they are a bit more supportive than other Orca shorts I’ve tried - which were crap! The only thing I personally dont like is the silicon leg grip, so I jut fold them over.
I’ve worn these for about a year now and I can say that they are quite comfortable and supportive. Just make sure you dont get it in blue or red unless you want everyone to see your manhood. I have learned to wear my race number in the front, if you know what I mean.
