MY KILOMETRE Mens Triathlon Shorts with Chamois - Race Ready

In this review the MY KILOMETRE Mens Triathlon Shorts are judged on comfort, storage and race-day practicality; they suit athletes who want a single short that works for swim, bike and run stages. The stand-out reason to buy is the combination of a purpose-designed multi density chamois and chlorine resistant, UPF 50+ fabric that keeps the shorts comfortable through an indoor pool swim and long bike miles without sacrificing compression or aerodynamics.

Key Features

• Durable fabric: The 80% polyamide and 20% Xtra Life Lycra blend gives chlorine resistance and UPF 50+ sun protection while maintaining muscle compression for improved performance.
• Adjustable drawstring: The waist drawstring provides a secure, custom fit that stays put during transitions and sustained efforts.
• Easy reach leg pockets: Nutrition storage pockets on each side place gels and bars within reach on the bike or run to avoid fumbling during a race.
• MK TRI 2.0 multi density chamois: The pad is shaped for an aero position to deliver padded support on the bike and remain comfortable for the run after dismount.
• Elastic leg ending with silicone print: Wide, soft leg grippers reduce movement of the short while staying comfortable under race intensity.
• Flat locked stitching: Seams follow body contours to reduce chafing and improve longevity under repeated use.

Who It's For

The shorts are aimed at long-distance triathletes and training athletes who want a single garment that handles pool sessions, long rides and run legs with minimal fuss. The combination of chlorine resistance and a chamois designed for the aero position makes them especially useful for athletes who frequently train in indoor pools and then complete long bike sessions.

Athletes who prioritize lightweight swimskin-only suits or who need highly specialized cold-water thermal layers should look elsewhere; likewise, riders who prefer a thicker road cycling chamois for very long solo rides may opt for a dedicated cycling bib. For many multisport racers, though, these shorts strike a practical balance.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Chlorine resistant, UPF 50+ fabric that also provides muscle compression and improved aerodynamics.
• Side nutrition pockets allow quick, hands-free access to fuel without stopping.
• MK TRI 2.0 multi density chamois supports aero position comfort on the bike and transition to the run.
• Silicone leg ending and flat locked stitching minimize movement and chafing during long efforts.

Cons

• The chamois is tuned for triathlon aero position, so cyclists seeking a thicker, road-specific pad may find it less cushioned for ultra-long solo rides.
