2XU Men's Core Tri Short Shorts

Really like these shorts great fit and no rubs when cycling especially on TT bike. Not sure why they have a cord that’s 9ft long though and a label to rival an M&S label.

While I'm sure these shorts may fit others well, they don't fit me, which is surprising given all the other 2XU tri shorts I have owned and worn for 10+ years. 2XU is (was?) my go-to brand. Their shorts and tops always fit comfortably, and were well-made, holding up for many years of training and racing. My size hasn't changed, but 2XU has changed its sizing such that these shorts caused pretty significant chafing on the sensitive tissues in the crotch area. Needless to say, that's a non-starter.
