MY KILOMETRE Mens Triathlon Shorts with Chamois - Race Ready Comfort

In this review of the MY KILOMETRE Mens Triathlon Shorts, the bottom line is simple: these shorts are aimed at long-distance triathletes who need a durable, race-focused short that performs through swim, bike and run. The biggest reason to buy is the combination of a purpose-built multi density chamois and chlorine-resistant, UPF 50+ fabric that provides compression, aero benefits and comfort over long training sessions and races. For anyone who values on-the-bike access to nutrition and a secure leg fit, these shorts are worth considering.

Key Features

• Durable fabric: The 80% polyamide and 20% Xtra Life Lycra blend offers chlorine resistance and UPF 50+ protection while delivering muscle compression and improved aerodynamics during a race.
• Adjustable drawstring: A built-in drawcord lets the athlete fine tune waist fit for comfort during long rides and transitions.
• Easily accessible side pockets: Nutrition storage pockets on each side of the legs give quick access to gels or bars while on the bike or during a run without fussing in transition.
• MK TRI 2.0 chamois: The multi density pad is designed for the aero position to balance comfort on the saddle with minimal disruption when switching to the run.
• Elastic leg ending with silicone: Wide, soft elastic leg bands with silicone print help prevent the shorts from riding up and maintain a consistent fit through swim, bike and run.
• Flat locked stitching: Seams follow body contours to reduce chafing and increase durability for repeated long-distance use.

Who It's For

The MY KILOMETRE Mens Triathlon Shorts suit long-distance triathletes and training athletes who want a single short that handles pool swims, long bike hours and running without a wardrobe change. The combination of chlorine resistant fabric and a race-oriented chamois makes them appropriate for open water training days and multi-hour race efforts.

These shorts are less appropriate for athletes who prefer minimalist, ultra-light racing kits without a substantial pad or those who need an integrated bib top; riders seeking a separate dedicated cycling bib for long road rides might look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Comfortable, race-oriented MK TRI 2.0 multi density chamois that supports aero positioning.

• Secure leg finish with silicone print prevents movement during activity.

Cons

• The shorts include a performance chamois which may feel bulkier than minimalist race shorts for athletes who prefer minimal padding.
