Mens Triathlon Shorts with Adjustable Drawstring and Chamois - Race MK

Our review of the MY KILOMETRE Mens Triathlon Shorts finds them best suited to multisport athletes who want a single shorts option for swim-bike-run race days. The biggest reason to buy is the combination of a purpose-built MK TRI 2.0 multi density chamois and tri-specific features like easy-reach mesh leg pockets and silicone leg endings, which together make these shorts practical for long-distance triathlon use without feeling overbuilt. Fit and comfort are consistently praised by users, and the fabric choices promise durability and UV protection for outdoor training and races.

Key Features

• Durable fabric: The main fabric blend of 80% polyamide and 20% Xtra Life Lycra offers muscle compression, improved aerodynamics and chlorine resistance for pool swims.
• MK TRI 2.0 chamois: A multi density pad shaped for the aero position delivers targeted cushioning on the bike while remaining comfortable for the run.
• Easy-reach leg pockets: Mesh nutrition pockets on each side let you access gels and chews while riding or running without interrupting momentum.
• Adjustable drawstring: A built-in drawcord lets riders fine tune waist fit for race-day comfort and to keep the shorts secure through transitions.
• Elastic leg ending with silicone: Wide soft grippers prevent the shorts from riding up during cycling and running for a stable fit.
• Flat locked stitching: Seams follow body contours to reduce chafing and increase strength over long efforts.

Who It's For

These shorts are aimed at triathletes and cyclists who want a single race-friendly short that performs across swim, bike and run. The pad design and aerodynamic fabric suit long-distance and Olympic-distance athletes who value accessible nutrition storage and secure leg grips during a race.

Riders who need heavy winter insulation or a fashion-forward casual short should look elsewhere; this model prioritizes performance features like compression, UV protection and a race-position chamois rather than street-style detailing.
