Women Triathlon Bottoms

Women’s triathlon bottoms cover the full range of lower-body apparel designed for racing and training across all three disciplines. The category spans swimskins and speedsuits built for the swim leg, tri shorts with a thin chamois that works from bike to run without a change, run shorts and skirts for athletes who prefer lighter coverage off the bike, and compression tights and capris for cooler conditions or longer training days. Each garment is engineered to minimize drag, manage moisture, and move efficiently whether you’re in the water, settled on the bike, or heading into T2.

RA Cycles carries women’s triathlon bottoms from Zoot, TYR, Orca, Pearl Izumi, and Craft — 58 options covering everything from race-specific swimskins to everyday training shorts, in a range of fits and coverage levels to suit every distance and preference.

Women's Triathlon Bottoms: Buying Guide

The right triathlon bottom depends on your race format and personal preference. For the swim leg, a swimskin or speedsuit — like those from Orca and TYR — adds a compressive, hydrodynamic layer without the bulk of a wetsuit. Tri shorts are the most versatile option: the chamois is thinner than a road cycling short, so it performs on the bike without becoming uncomfortable during the run. Run shorts and skirts suit athletes who prefer lighter coverage after T2, while compression tights and capris work well for sprint-distance racing and long-course training in cooler weather. The right choice often comes down to the distance you’re racing and how much you prioritize bike comfort versus run freedom.

RA Cycles carries women’s triathlon bottoms from Zoot, TYR, Orca, Pearl Izumi, and Craft. Zoot offers the widest selection, from race-day tri shorts to casual run shorts built for multi-sport training. TYR covers competition swimskins and tri shorts across multiple price points. Orca brings its wetsuit expertise to swimskins and tri-specific pants. Pearl Izumi’s P.R.O. Tri Short delivers refined construction for performance-focused athletes, and Craft’s Elite Tri Tight adds a technical compression option for colder race days.
