De Soto Forza Tri Short 4-Pocket - FTF3

De Soto Sport, founded in 1990, has established itself as one of the most prominent apparel brands in the world of triathlon. The company was founded by former professional triathlete Emilio De Soto II, and it leverages over 30 years of experience in international triathlon and endurance sports competition to create innovative technical garments.

More than 98% of all De Soto products are manufactured in the USA. The brand is known for its commitment to solving problems faced by triathletes, and in 2017, it introduced a series of trisuits with unique features, including the "Flisuit" for men and the "Sneak-a-Poo" Femme trisuit, which are the only bathroom-friendly trisuits on the market.

The Forza Four Pocket High Rise Tri Short is a prime example of De Soto's innovative approach. This piece offers compressive support in the quads and glutes, while the Mobius Compression leg bands provide comfort without constriction. The 4mm Clasico Integrated Pad is softer than ever, with the pad sewn onto the surrounding panels instead of inside the garment, eliminating seams where the rider contacts the saddle.

The Liftfoil fabric on the outside of the pad is smooth, allowing for easier forward and backward movement on the saddle. The seamless inner thigh design eliminates friction and increases durability. The Forza Compressor fabric on the leg panels helps reduce delayed-onset muscle fatigue, while the 3-inch Mobius Comfort Compression Band offers equally graduated compression around the legs, providing support without tightness or squeezing.

The Forza Four Pocket High Rise Tri Short features four pockets, two on each outer thigh, made of Forza Compressor fabric to securely hold essentials. The curvilinear seamlines and contrast flat stitching provide support, comfort, and both aerodynamic and hydrodynamic advantages, making it suitable for non-wetsuit races.

De Soto's commitment to innovation is evident in the use of its proprietary Forza Compressor fabric, which has been shown to improve athletic performance by delaying the onset of fatigue by up to 12% and enhancing body position awareness. The Mobius Comfort Compression technology and Liftfoil3 fabric further contribute to the short's exceptional performance and comfort.

Whether you're swimming, biking, or running, the Forza Four Pocket High Rise Tri Short allows you to do it all in comfort, without the need to change. It's a testament to De Soto's dedication to creating innovative, high-quality technical garments that cater to the unique needs of triathletes.
