Mens Triathlon Shorts with MK TRI 2.0 Chamois - Chlorine Resistent Fit

Our review of the MY KILOMETRE Mens Triathlon Shorts finds them best suited to long-distance triathletes who need breathable, swim-capable kit that doubles as comfortable cycling and running shorts. The single biggest reason to buy is the MK TRI 2.0 multi density chamois engineered for the aero position, which delivers padding where it matters on long rides without weighing you down for the run. Built from a regenerated polyamide blend with moderate compression and UPF 50+ protection, these shorts are designed to withstand indoor pool swims and then perform on the bike and run.

Key Features

• Chlorine resistant fabric: The 73% regenerated polyamide and 27% spandex mix resists chlorine damage so the same shorts can be used for indoor swims and still maintain shape.
• MK TRI 2.0 chamois: A multi density pad shaped for the aero position gives targeted support on the bike while remaining light for the run transition.
• Accessible side pockets: Nutrition storage pockets on each leg allow easy access to gels or bars while riding or running without breaking stride.
• Ultra-thin leg grippers: Thin, elastic grippers conform to the leg for flexibility and comfort without silicone bands that can dig in.
• Flat locked stitching: Seams follow body contours to reduce chafing over long distances and improve durability where stress is highest.

Who It's For

These shorts are aimed at men racing long-distance triathlons or training blocks where a single suit for pool, bike and run is preferred. The moderate compression and UPF 50+ protection make them a strong choice for athletes who want muscle support, sun protection and minimal drag on the bike.

They are less suitable for riders who need heavy-duty winter insulation or for those who prefer separate garments for swimming and cycling; if you want a thicker cycling pad or heavy cold-weather layering, look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Chlorine resistant fabric lets the shorts be used for indoor pool sessions without rapid wear.
• MK TRI 2.0 multi density chamois provides focused comfort in the aero position for long rides.
• Side nutrition pockets offer practical, on-the-move storage for gels and small items.
• Flat locked stitching and ultra-thin leg grippers reduce chafing and improve comfort during long efforts.

Cons

• The moderate compression and thin chamois favor race-day lightness over the thicker padding some cyclists might prefer for very long saddle time.
