MY KILOMETRE Mens Triathlon Shorts with Chamois - Race Ready Equipment

In this review of the MY KILOMETRE Mens Triathlon Shorts with Adjustable Drawstring Easy Reach Leg Pockets Chamois for Long-Distance Tri Race the bottom line is simple: these shorts are built for athletes who want a race-focused, chlorine-resistant short with storage and a performance chamois. The reviewer found them most useful for long-distance triathletes who spend significant time in the aero position and need quick access to gels on the bike and run. Comfort comes from the MK TRI 2.0 multi density chamois while fabric and construction focus on durability and reduced drag.

Key Features

• Durable Fabric: The 80% polyamide and 20% Xtra Life Lycra blend gives a firm, compressive fit that improves aerodynamics and handles repeated pool swims thanks to chlorine resistance.
• UPF 50+ Protection: Sun protection in the fabric helps keep skin safe on long outdoor rides and runs without adding weight.
• Adjustable Drawstring: The waist drawstring lets you fine tune fit before a race or training session so the shorts stay secure through transitions.
• Easy Reach Leg Pockets: Nutrition pockets on each side of the legs provide fast, on-the-bike access to gels and bars without slapping or bouncing.
• MK TRI 2.0 Chamois: The multi density pad is shaped for the aero position to give targeted support while still allowing a comfortable run off the bike.
• Anti-slip Leg Ending: Wide elastic leg endings with silicone print keep the hems from riding up while remaining soft against the skin.

Who It's For

These shorts are aimed at male triathletes training for or racing middle to long distances who prioritise a race-cut fit and quick nutrition access. The combination of compression fabric and an aero-oriented chamois makes them suited to riders who spend long periods in the aero bars and then need to run comfortably off the bike.

Athletes who swim exclusively in open water without frequent chlorine exposure may find comparable shorts elsewhere, and those seeking heavy winter insulation or a bib-style short should look for other options. Casual cyclists who do not need integrated pockets or a race chamois may prefer a simpler, lower-cost model.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Chlorine-resistant Xtra Life Lycra fabric that holds shape and offers consistent muscle compression.
• Convenient side leg pockets that allow easy access to nutrition while riding or running.
• Thoughtful chamois design for the aero position which supports long rides and transitions to running.
• Flat locked stitching and silicone hem reduce chafing and prevent movement during race efforts.

Cons

• The race-oriented cut and chamois may be firmer than leisure shorts, so they feel tight for riders who prefer a relaxed fit.
• Limited color or styling detail in the product copy means buyers should confirm visual options elsewhere.
