my wife was explaining that tri shorts have a lot less padding bc of the swim part and water absorbtion and what not. and i can totally see that with the typical padded bike short but whtat about gel shorts? i would think they would absorb and retain a lot less water. so can gel shorts be used in place of tri shorts or is it best jsut to stick with tri shorts? thanks.
