    Hi,

    Doing a few duathlon this year and want to get a decent pair of triathlon shorts (I've changed shorts the other two times). Not looking to break the bank, just a decent entry level pair. Any suggestions?

    Got a good pair of 2XUs in TK Maxx for about €20 at the end of last season. Don't know what sort of stock they have at the moment though.

    Always worth a rummage there every so often.

    Yes, because of that they're much of a muchness imo - never worn seperates just the full suits (2xu, champion systems) and they've all felt just as comfortable as each other.

    Bought a pair of these myself recently, pretty happy with them!

    Looking well!

    I can't run in the cycle shorts and I don't really want to cycle in running shorts!

    I just got these, they look like an ok entry level pair. I will prob upgrade after a few events.

    Should this thread not be in the Triathlon/Biathlon forum?.
    If this kind of thing is allowed on here, before you know it,they'll be talking about running shoes, swimming trunks, sleeveless cycling tops and the best brand of permanent marker for your race number.

    So discussing the male bra tops is OK then? :D

    Yep, clearly violates Rule 42, no place for this chatter here!

    Duathlon, Biathlon. Is there a difference?

    I know, I know. Asking the question will just encourage them.
