This pad is 4mm thick, soft, stretchy, buoyant, and the ceramic beads make it the most durable pad in the world. This pad floats and stretches which means it is a great race piece in a triathlon. On the bike, the pad stretches with the short and follows your skin as it moves with every pedal stroke, eliminating the friction that can cause irritation or rashes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid black Liftfoil™ center panels providing even more comfort and durability. We intentionally kept these as black “modesty” panels in the crotch area of all models including the white version to avoid saddle stains while creating a more flattering appearance. Liftfoil™ is our swim skin fabric. The Liftfoil™ Speed Trisuit is made entirely out of this swim skin fabric. The addition of these panels on the front and back not only makes this tri short faster, but they eliminate any adverse affects when worn with a wetsuit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour Pockets, two on each outer thigh, one above the other, made of Forza Compressor fabric to hold things in place.

Mobius™ Comfort is our new form-fitting, yet non-binding compressive fabric. The knit we created when blending fibers make repeated mobius loops so that the same surface, stretch, and rebound is on both sides of the fabric and in equal direction. You will notice comfort and support without constriction, opacity without unnecessary weight, and durability from a very smooth surface on both sides. In addition to the bibshort and tri short made entirely of this fabric, you will find Mobius Comfort leg bangs on all our tri shorts, bike shorts, and bib shorts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eForza-Fino Ceramico™ Pad Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax Thickness: .157\" (4mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMin Thickness: .05\" (1.25mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Length: 11.25\" (28.5cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront Max Width: 4.5\" (11.5cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaist Width - most narrow point: 3.5\" (8.5cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack Max Width: 6.5\" (16.5cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eInseam lengths:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e     Small: 8\" (20.32cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e     Medium: 8.5\" (21.59cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e     Large: 9\" (22.86cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e     X-Large: 9.5\" (24.13cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e     XX-Large: 10\" (25.4cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOutseam lengths:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e     Small: 15.5\" (39.37cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e     Medium: 16.5\" (41.91cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e     Large: 17.5\" (44.45cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e     X-Large: 18.5\" (46.99cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e     XX-Large: 19.5\" (49.53cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Triathlete Store","offers":[{"title":"Black\/Black \/ Small","offer_id":44488271560844,"sku":"2014 849302007917","price":118.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black\/Black \/ Medium","offer_id":44488271593612,"sku":"2014 849302007924","price":118.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black\/Black \/ Large","offer_id":44488271626380,"sku":"2014 849302007931","price":118.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black\/Black \/ X-Large","offer_id":44488271659148,"sku":"2014 849302007948","price":118.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black\/Black \/ XX-Large","offer_id":44488271691916,"sku":"2014 849302007955","price":118.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/kitchenandmetal.com\/products\/mens-de-soto-forza-tri-short-4-pocket-ftf2-black-small","provider":"Kitchen + Metal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
