New user  265  |  Subject: BT trishorts...Who wears them? Fit questionI'm going to signup for an aquabike event and need some trishorts. I'm wanting to go with the BT trishorts (I like the site, the members here have been helpful and inspirational so I'm going with them). Right now, I'm 5' 7 1/2" and around 225lb. Most of my pants, shorts are either 38 or 36 inch waist. What size do you guys recomend I order? I'm going with the shorter inseam. |

Veteran 223 back of the pack | Subject: RE: BT trishorts...Who wears them? Fit question I have a pair of Zoot shorts XL and i wear a 38 pant. there is no drawstring on these so I get some great gut roll down and usually end up with about a 1/2"-3/4" pencil roll all around my middle with some good crack showing. I am going to put a drawstring in them and see if that helps otherwise I will be in my swimmers for the race. |

I would spend a considerable amount of money to get a bib tri short. |

New user 265 | Subject: RE: BT trishorts...Who wears them? Fit question I used to have a pair of bib cycling shorts. I got rid of them when I thought I was giving up riding a long time ago. Stupid me! Do they make bib tri shorts or are you just hoping? I would think about a tri suit, but due to the cost, I don't think I would buy one unless the bug for tri's has me firmly in its grip! |

Champion 5376 PA | Subject: RE: BT trishorts...Who wears them? Fit question I picked up a pair of BT Tri shorts and found them to be amongst the most comfortable shorts I own. I don't recall what size I ordered but I'll check when I get home. I'm around 5"11 - 217lbs. I wear a size 36 waist but I have to size up due to having rather thick legs and a bubble butt. |

New user 265 | Subject: RE: BT trishorts...Who wears them? Fit question Thanks. Let me know what size they are. Being a bit shorter and heavier I would probably wear the same size since you went up a size being a 36. Dan |

| Delaware, OH | Subject: RE: BT trishorts...Who wears them? Fit question I love my BT tri shorts! They are so comfy. Can't help you on the fit cause I'm a girl and the sizes differ but I wish the store carried plain black so I could train in them. I did order one size too big in the top and they were great at getting me the smaller size, no hassle. |
