2XU Mens Core 8 Inch Tri Short
Take one pair of shorts through swim, bike and run with the 2XU Men's Core 8 Inch Tri Short in Black/White. The 8-inch inseam offers extended leg coverage, while quick-drying fabric helps you move comfortably from the water into the rest of your race.
A low-profile chamois provides cushioning for the bike leg without the bulk of a traditional cycling pad during the run. Flatlock seams help minimise rubbing, and the elastic waistband with drawstring lets you adjust the fit before training or race day. A rear pocket keeps gels and small essentials close.
