The Women's Gen II Elite Aero Tri Short is designed for a compression performance fit, with many customers satisfied with its true-to-size nature. However, opinions on the chamois vary, with some finding it thin and others considering it cheap.

"Doing my first solo triathlon wanted shorts for biking and running, & for under my wetsuit. I tested them out the other day. They are actually more comfortable than my actual bike shorts. I’m 5’. 4. 5” 134lbs. Athletic/ muscular build. I’m 45yo. I got medium, 5. 5inch, and they fit perfect. Yes they have good compression. I’m glad I went with medium & not any bigger. I’m typically a small. Really pleased either way them."
"Very comfortable with out being bulky."
"Best shorts on the market for athletes who need to transition between cycling and running! Size up; I’m 5’5” ~130lb athletic build and wear a L."
"Sizing"
"Great quality. The pad fits perfect"
"Amazing short. Comfortable, flattering, great fabric. They run small, I am 5'7" and 138lbs and the Large fit great."
"Fit amazing, comfortable and supportive! I don't feel like I have sausage legs!! :)"
"I have three ROKA tri suits and LOVE them but thought I’d give the Gen II Tri Short for training. Love them too! I like the higher waist. No peek-a-boo of skin between my jersey and top of shorts. The leg length hit me right where I like (about 2” above the knee). I ordered the 7.5” inseam. Based on other reviews I did order a size up (L). My ROKA tri-suits are mediums. The only improvement would be to offer the same short as bibs!"
"Runs small. I’m 5’6” 120 pounds and usually wear a small or x-small in clothes. I couldn’t even get the small up to my knees. The medium fits really well. I love the high waist to hold everything in :)"
"I have 3 of the Gen 1 and realized they are the only shorts I grab out of a drawer filled with Coeur, DeSotto, Betty and others. So, I figured I would invest in a new pair given the Gen 1’s were getting old/well used. Thankfully they are almost identical; I actually can’t tell the difference without inspection. That also says a lot about the old shorts because the fabric looks identical to the brand new pair. I wash in the machine and toss in the dryer weekly for going on 6 years (for the oldest pair)! These are worth the investment and are the only shorts/chamois that keep me comfortable and chafe-free. Because of this, I use them for all my rides (not just races). Sizing note: I’m 5’4, 125-128 lbs and wear the medium (I’m am a small in most other brands). Image shows GenI left GenII right"
