Description

We have taken the pattern of the Forza Trishort with 4 pockets, put the fleece pad back into it, then replaced the Forza Fabric with MobiusComfort Compression fabric to make an affordable tri short with all the bells and whistle. The result is a high performance compression tri short that is comfortable, not tight! If youre looking for full compression check out our Forza 4-Pocket Tri Short - FTF3.

​Mobius Comfort Compression

A Mobius Strip is a surface with only one side and one boundary. Mobius (aka Mobius Comfort Compression) is our new form-fitting, yet non-binding compressive fabric. When blending fibers the knit created makes repeated mobius loops so that the same surface is on both sides of the fabric. You will notice comfort and support without constriction, opacity without unnecessary weight, and durability from a very smooth surface on both sides. We use this fabric on the Mobius Tri Short and the Mobius Cycling Bibshort. We also use Mobius on the leg bands of all our shorts so there is no tight squeeze or binding on the legs.
