ZOOT Core Tri 9in Short - Men's Jet Black, M

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I use these for longer bricks when I want reliable coverage and a chamois that won’t fight me on the run. The leg gripper feels secure without squeezing, and the pockets are actually usable when I’m fueling on the bike. They stay comfortable no matter how many hours I’m out.""We pull on the Core Tri 9in Short when the day’s plan calls for early laps in the pool, steady miles on the bike, and a long run to finish things off. Zoot brings its decades of tri experience to the Core line, and we feel that pedigree right away—supportive fabric, breathable structure, and a fit that stays comfortable from warmup to cooldown. The Italian textiles work hard as the effort builds, moving moisture away and keeping us focused on pacing rather than clothing adjustments. Once we settle into aero, the plush Italian chamois provides tuned support without adding bulk, staying smooth through cadence changes and never interfering once we’re back on our feet. The non-restrictive leg gripper keeps everything in place, while the hip pockets give us quick access to gels or salt when the workout stretches long. With SeamLink construction to minimize chafing and UPF 50+ protection for exposed hours outside, this short keeps us ready for the full rhythm of the triathlon lifestyle."
