These are amazing! Real good fit, just enough give to be stretchy in the right places, but not feel loose or baggy.
Feel great in the water, actually prefer these over my jammers. Bike pad is a good compromise between too big and too small. For long rides it may not be enough padding, but I don't notice it at all on run or swim.

Have been training 2000m pool practices. Swim shorts work well, cushion is not a problem during swimming. Mesh pockets are handy out of the water, and not noticing any drag from them while swimming. Have not yet biked with them to sheck comfort but expect they will work fine for triathlons.

Short story: Very comfortable, definitely worth it for me, I used it for my first ever triathlon and definitely glad I got it, so I did not have to change during the transitions. I am not an enthusiast

Long story:
I wore this for a reverse (will be relevant later) sprint triathlon and it was great. It was comfortable. For me, the fit was snug but not too snug to the point of uncomfortableness during the running. And it was not a loose snug to where I felt like it was going slide down if I had anything in the pockets. Speaking of the pockets, they performed marvelously. In fact, it was comfortable during the 5k running portion, which came first (remember, reverse tri instead of the regular progression). I had my phone in the pocket section the whole time and I hardly noticed it. Then, came the biking portion and the phone didn't have any issues staying while I was pedaling and sometimes at high cadence since there was a lot of uphill and I had to stay on lower gear. No issues with it sliding out or anything of the sort. And the padding was sufficient to keep my behind from hurting on the 8.2 mile biking portion. However, by the time I finished the running and biking, I had totally forgotten about having my phone in the pocket and I jumped into the pool with it. Impressively, it stayed in the pocket throughout the first half of the swim before I remembered I had it in there, reached into the pocket, got my phone out, and placed it on the edge of the pool, and went my merry way to finish the rest of the swim. I was definitely happy with these shorts because I did not want to wear board shorts or straight up competitive swimwear (jammers) for both the run and the bike portion since those were first. All in all, I am happy I got this and it definitely made my first triathlon enjoyable.

Very pleased with fit and comfort of this product. Has held up very well in chlorinated water.

I wore these shorts during the bike and run on a full Ironman. The chamois is there when you need it, and fades away when you don't. It's the perfect combo of comfort and minimalism.
