The Orca 226 Kompress Tri Short is the lower half of their 226 Race Suit. You get all the performance of the bottoms, while being able to select whether you go with the 226 Tank Top, 226 Jersey, or a top of your own choosing.

The 226 Tri Short not only affords you flexibility in dressing, but flexible comfort for all three legs of your triathlon. The Stretchskin fabric utilized for the panels is not only stretchy, but compressive, adding muscle support for your glutes, hip flexors, quads, and hams, helping put off that heavy-legged feeling that comes with long, hard efforts.

The pad utilized is a stretchy multi-density chamois that varies in depth from 2mm to 8mm, putting maximum protection under your sit-bones, and keeping it thin everywhere else. This keeps the pad from being a distraction during your swims and runs.

The legs are held at the bottom by a two-inch wide band, offering a solid hold without digging into your legs. The short is held at the top with a drawstring around the waist. Complementing the design are two back pockets, big enough to store nutrition. And, if youre on a long day, pair with a pocketed top like the 226s, for maximum carrying capacity.

The Orca 226 Tri Short rides like a cycling short, and handles the run and swim as if its not there.

Compress your time, not your style. The woven fabric construction of the Kompress Tri Tech Short supports muscles while preventing fatigue so you can race faster, longer. Extremely lightweight StretchSkn fabric on the legs of the short mean quicker wicking time, less sweat retention, and better aerodynamics on the bike.
