Description

The most comfortable triathlon shorts you’ll ever wear.

It’s love at first ride with our 5" inseam Italiana tri shorts.

Our gorgeous fabric is incredibly compressive while still being ridiculously comfortable. The fit and feel is the same size as our previous black shorts but now all your bits will feel more "held in." This additional compression increases blood flow and lends extra support to your muscles over the miles. Our patented seam-free chamois creates a friction-free barrier for the ride and the run (i.e. eliminates chafing in those areas. Huzzah!) A three inch gentle - but insistent - powerband gripper keeps the legs from riding up and doesn't pinch. A belly button grazing wider waistband is super flattering and comfy.  And of course, there are pockets – two in the rear & slanted for easy access. Because a lady has to bring her stuff along with her just for the ride. Pair with a Coeur triathlon top for a complete look!

Give them a spin - risk free. We have free shipping and free returns/exchanges on standard U.S. orders!

FABRIC CARE

Taking Care of your High Performance Cycling, Triathlon, Run and Swim Apparel from Coeur

We select and make only the highest quality of fabrics for the running, cycling, swim and triathlon specific Coeur clothing. Despite the rigors you put it through, however, Spandex and Lycra are still very delicate fabrics. This allows them to be sleek, fitted and high-performing. But to prolong a garment’s life, you need to take proper care of it. 

When laundering your item in the washing machine, please do not wash with any rough or “scratchy” other items, i.e. velcro, timing chip straps, zippers, snaps, hooks. These pieces can easily “drag” or “pill” your Spandex/Lycra garment.  Also, do not use any harsh detergents or bleaches. If you must wear your suit in a chlorinated pool, be sure to rinse it thoroughly with with fresh water afterward.

Take good care of your high-performance garments and they should function beautifully for you for a long time. In summary: 

DO NOT:

  1. Wash with rough trims such as jeans with zippers and rivets, anything with velcro or hooks.
  2. Use harsh detergents or bleaches
  3. Wear in chlorine UNLESS you thoroughly rinse it afterward.
  4. Dry on high heat. Hang dry for best results

Just so you know, every time a piece of our gear gets thrown in the drier, on high heat, somebody at Coeur cries just a little. 

 

SHIPPING & RETURNS

Free Shipping

That's right folks. We obsess over quality and customer service and that's why we're one of the few, if not the only, company in the triathlon industry that offers free U.S. Shipping and free, no-hassle returns. 

So, shop with confidence and don't worry one bit about your order. If something doesn't fit perfectly or you just change your mind for any reason, we'll take it back.

We ship orders to locations in the U.S. for Free! Let's face it, nobody wants to pay for clothing and then have to pay to have it delivered too. That's why standard U.S. orders will be shipped at no additional cost. We ship via USPS and will email you the tracking information as soon as the order is off on its way to its new, happy home. If you need something FAST, we have expedited shipping options also and we only charge the actual cost, not any bogusly high amount.

Please note that rush orders received before 1 p.m. PST will go out the same day. Orders made after 1 p.m. will go out the next business day. For expedited orders, UPS DOES NOT reliably deliver on Saturdays. So a 2-day order placed on Thursday won't arrive until the next Monday or Tuesday.  The same is true for orders placed on Saturday. Often we are in the office to ship the order out, but just as often we are outside on our bikes pedaling through the Santa Monica mountains on the weekend. :)

Free Returns

We also provide Free U.S. Returns! Just fill out the form HERE. You MUST include your order number. Then just print your return label slap it on the package and ship the item(s) in back to us from your local Post Office. 

If you are sending back multiple orders, you only need ONE return label.

What can be returned?

Anything within 30 days for a full refund unless it is marked sale making it final sale and not eligible for returns or exchanges. But please make sure the hang tag and the care labels are attached. It must be clean and scent-free. For swimsuits, the hygiene sticker must also be in place and untampered with. Accessories like socks, headbands and waterbottles need to be unused. Otherwise you will get a store credit as long as the items aren't damaged since we won't be able to resell that item. Accessories MUST be in unopened original packaging to be returned.

That pretty much covers it, but please ensure the following:

    • Send back within 30 day purchase period
    • Please make sure original sizing and hang tags are attached
    • We cannot guarantee that the item you wish to exchange for will still be in stock when your order arrives at HQ so we suggest placing a new order for that item to insure that it doesn't sell out beforehand.

We want to do everything we can to get you in the right fit, so we are creating custom size charts for each of our garments. Just use the sizing guide below. Don't worry if you're not sure of your size...just give us a call at 310-315-0912 during PST business hours and we can help talk you through it.

Hey!  You're still reading.  That's great! Let us tell you a bit more. Coeur performance gear is designed and sized to lay smoothly on your body, like a second skin.  Our fabrics have a good bit of compression in them so should feel snug. This is for reduced drag and better aerodynamics (i.e. you'll go faster!). 
If you have any questions, just send us a note at info@coeursports.com.  
P.S. We try to be super easy to work with on returns, so don't worry if you ordered the wrong size.  We'll gladly take it back and swap out until we get the size that is perfect for you.

Inconsistent sizing

I’m 5’8” and 180lbs, usually a size L. I bought size M of these two years ago and absolutely love them! I just bought another pair size M and they are very tight. I think L would be okay, XL would be better? I checked the sizing guide to verify and it told me to buy a 3X. In summary, good shorts but don’t expect to guess your size right even if you’ve purchased before.

Loving 'em

So, my wife thoroughly enjoys the products from Coeur - and these shorts are right there. I have heard only one complaint, and that is she feels they are shorter than the other pair I purchased for her this holiday season. Otherwise, the fit, support, and look all align with how she likes to workout. Highly recommended.

Fit is Off

I ordered my first pair of these shorts a few years ago. I recently ordered 2 more pair in the same size as my first pair, small. I had to send them back to get a medium and feel like they are still tighter than my first pair.

Love comfort, need side gu pocket

I've bought numerous pairs of these tri shorts, absolutely love the comfort, just wore them in my 140.6 in Kona 2022. My only complaint is the pockets in back are so small and hard to reach, they can't really hold my gels. Would love side pockets for easy access when racing or long training sessions.

Super Unflattering Leg Holes

I love the 8" version of these tri shorts, but I wanted a bit shorter for when I am just running. The leg holes and seams around the thigh were not flattering on me at all. I am 5'4", 130 lbs, 27" waist and the medium fit great everywhere except the leg holes. I think a 6 or 7" version would be great!
