Mens Triathlon Shorts with Adjustable Drawstring - MK TRI 2.0

In this review of the MY KILOMETRE Mens Triathlon Shorts the bottom line is simple: these are built for athletes who want a single short that performs across swim, bike and run. The reviewer found the standout reason to buy is the combination of a purpose-designed MK TRI 2.0 multi density chamois and practical side storage that stays usable in the aero position. Constructed from durable polyamide and Xtra Life Lycra that resists chlorine and offers UPF 50+ protection, these shorts focus on comfort, fit and real race utility rather than casual styling.

Key Features

• Durable fabric: The 80% polyamide, 20% Xtra Life Lycra blend gives a chlorine resistant, compressive feel that holds shape through repeated pool swims and rides.
• MK TRI 2.0 chamois: Aerodynamically profiled and multi density, the pad is designed to support the aero position and reduce saddle discomfort for long rides and brick runs.
• Adjustable drawstring: The waist drawcord lets athletes fine tune fit for comfort on long efforts and during transitions.
• Easy reach leg pockets: Mesh nutrition pockets on each thigh sit low and accessible for gels and chews while on the bike or mid-run.
• Elastic leg ending with silicone print: Wide, soft leg endings with silicone help keep the short in place and reduce leg ride-up during cycling and running.
• Flat locked stitching: Seams follow body contours to minimize chafing and increase durability through repetitive movement.

Who It's For

These shorts suit triathletes who need a single race-ready piece for sprint to long-distance events and value a well-shaped chamois that transitions to the run. They are especially useful for swimmers who do pool sessions and open-water training because the fabric is chlorine resistant and offers UPF 50+ protection.

Athletes who prioritize flashy aesthetics or want a minimalist running-only short without padding should look elsewhere; this model is optimized for combined swim-bike-run use and for riders who need accessible thigh storage during efforts.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Comfortable, compressive fabric that resists chlorine and provides UPF 50+ protection.
• MK TRI 2.0 multi density chamois offers padding suited to aero cycling and subsequent running.
• Convenient side mesh pockets keep gels and chews reachable while riding or running.

Cons

• Heavier padding than a dedicated running short, so runners preferring minimal cushioning may find it more than needed.
