Saw some real cool shorts ( not standard issued black) here in Team Estrogen but they are listed as Tri. How do they compare? What are the differences?
Thanks!

Tri shorts have a much thinner chamois.

Hey thanks! So will it work for short rides then? Should I just skip it?Quote:

I'm not sure I would have liked tri shorts when I first started riding...my sit bones needed all the padding they could get, at first. :oQuote:

Appreciate!
In that case you may be ready to go!Quote:
