I'm a mountain biker (northeast), they stayed put and my phone fit the pocket. The thin chamois was more protective than I thought it would be!

We were the first to make a short with no gripper on the legs so you won't find any squeezing or pressing around the thighs!
Sizing: Please refer to the size chart button above for sizing guidance.
Fit Type: Form-Fitted
Fit Note: Please do not assume your size is the same as previous years, please use our size chart and if in doubt, email us at: femme@desotosport.com. Triathlon apparel is meant to fit next-to-skin. This is to eliminate potential chafing, and unnecessary drag during the swim, bike and run. If you’re not comfortable with this type of fit and or are between sizes, we recommend sizing up. Garment will fit the most snug the first time you put it on, it will relax slightly once wet.

Very good, like the fabric and the fit
My favorite. Don’t change them.
Great shorts and phenomenal customer service.
Excellent - I love this short - super comfortable.
Got these shorts in the fun orange. They are super comfortable thanks to the lack of silicone or seems at the leg opening. The waist is a little wide on me as I opted for the size large (5’11/155lb cyclist quads). I use these for a lot of my long runs.
I love these shorts. Wish they had more compression to have a tighter fit but overall a great short.
Before purchasing these shorts I was a bit concerned that they weren't the same compression fabric I have in my 10 year old DeSoto's that I was replacing. But these shorts are fantastic. I am training for my first half marathon and I have had absolutely no issues with these. They stay put on my long runs, don't bind anywhere, and are just super comfortable. My only concern is that they will be too hot when the weather finally heats up. I have also used them for some bike rides and they are great, once again staying put without any discomfort. I love the crotch design as the seams are in well-planned places, both for comfort and visual aesthetic. Thanks for a great pair of shorts!
This short has the perfect sized chamois for me. I find bulky chamois’s to be uncomfortable. Legs don’t slide up. Overall very comfortable.
I love the fit, comfy, soft perfect compression. The print is so much fun it makes me smile when I put them on. Definitely will buy again from De Soto. Love this company and all they do for the tri community and the community in general. Emilio & Tracy are amazing people.
This carrera fabric truly wears like a second skin. Awesome. The manta ray fabric colors are brilliant and so happy. I highly recommend these for anyone looking for a great pair of running, biking and swimming shorts. The length is perfect.
Great love these shorts. My favorite!
My new Carrera Tri Top fits perfectly! The fabric is strong and silky, and the tropical design is lovely. I have purchased many Carrera tops from DeSoto Sport, and I love them all!
Bought the Carrera short for my wife. Fit is nice, only issue is the drawstring came out during first wash so she has to pull shorts up continually
