I wanted to get cheap tri shorts because I just signed up for my first tri and the equiptment is already breaking the bank plus I don't know if I will do another one. Well, these shorts were cheap and they fit and look like cheap shorts. I think they ran large. It could have just been the material. It gathered and folded in all the wrong places. The cuffs around the legs were large and didn't compress much at all. There is wierd material just above the cuffs thats almost see thru. Not sure the purpose of it; its just in 2 sections. Also a suprise was a large Danskin label that ran the entire outside of each leg. I don't like drawing attention to my thighs which is why I went with plain black. These are walking advertisements for Danskin.  I returned them and bought a more expensive pair from another company. Live and learn.
