Women's Iron Distance Tri Shorts
I've been very happy with my Pearl Izumi women's tri shorts for IMs.

I have Craft and they worked for me for IM Canada. Nothing will help 100%, you'll still have a sore...um...saddle area.
I like the Zoot Ultra's. Also one of those $15-20 neoprene saddle covers will add a little more cushion to the saddle area.

I have been happy with my zoot and pear izumi's. PERSONALLY I would not recommend any extra cover on the saddle, because for ME less is best. Get a comfortable saddle and train on it and in the same shorts you plan to race in. I use a terry butterfly tri and have had good results along with tri shorts for all my long (100 plus mile) rides.
I like my Oomph Vigor Compression shorts. They've seen me through 2 race seasons and numerous HIMs as well as one full IM. Plan to use them this year for HIM and IM distance races.



I'm wondering if any one has any suggestions for a great pair of racing shorts for longer distance races - I'm concerned that the racing shorts I've used for the sprints that I have done are in no way going to be comfortable after 56 miles. Thanks!
