I am in need of a new pair of tri shorts and I am considering the Desoto Forza low cut. My question is how low is low? Do they compare to wearing say jammers? The reason I ask is because currently I am wearing Voler tri shorts and they are way high, just like their bike shorts (which I love) and I don't like that fit for swimming and running. How do there sizes run, are they true to the sizing charts? I appear to be between the med and large and not sure which way to go.

Anyone that wears them I'd appreciate some feedback.

The low cut is pretty low, it is at about the same height as my jammers which ride just below the hip bones. If you don't like a low cut they are probably not for you. FYI most DeSoto tri shorts are cut on the low side.

DeSoto has great customer service. if you call they will help you find the right size.

I have those shorts and I love them. Mine do ride a little low and I have to make sure they're pulled up high when I start, but I am packing some junk in the trunk and some ginormous thighs into mine, so that could be why.

Ok thanks. I think I will go for the low cut because I don't like my shorts to be up on my hip bones and halfway up my back.
