2XU Long Distance Tri Short

2XU Long Distance Tri Short Info
The 2XU Long Distance Tri Short is built specifically for extended triathlon racing — the kind of effort where the gear you choose becomes increasingly relevant as the hours accumulate. Two proprietary fabric technologies work together across the short: ICE X for active body cooling and sustained moisture management, and 70D KINETIC SPEED for aerodynamic advantage and compressive support through both the bike and run.
ICE X is 2XU's most sophisticated cooling fabric. Xylitol — a naturally derived compound — is embedded directly in the yarn structure, drawing heat away from the skin during prolonged effort. Combined with IR-blocking technology that inhibits infrared ray penetration, ICE X is designed to lower skin temperature by up to 5.4°F. The high-filament construction and tighter gauge knit deliver compression and breathability simultaneously, making the fabric as effective at hour five as it is at the start line. Where ICE X handles thermoregulation, 70D KINETIC SPEED addresses aerodynamics — a fabric developed with Swiss air turbulence technology that reduces drag at race pace, reinforced with LYCRA® fibre to maintain garment shape and compression fit through a full Ironman effort.
The short is built with an Elite LD Chamois, engineered for long-distance events where standard chamois padding either underperforms over hours in the saddle or creates discomfort on the run. Y Elastic grip keeps the hemline in place through sustained movement, and rear pockets provide race nutrition storage without requiring a separate belt or pack.

Design Benefits
- ICE X Xylitol cooling draws heat from the skin via yarn-embedded Xylitol, reducing perceived skin temperature by up to 5.4°F over sustained efforts.
- IR-blocking technology inhibits infrared ray penetration from direct sun exposure — a meaningful advantage on long open-road bike courses.
- 70D KINETIC SPEED fabric reduces aerodynamic drag using Swiss air turbulence engineering while delivering muscle-supporting compression through the run.
- LYCRA® construction maintains garment shape and consistent compression fit across the full duration of a long-course race.
- Elite LD Chamois is sized and padded for long-distance saddle time while transitioning cleanly to the run — no excess bulk, no chafing.
- Rear pockets keep nutrition accessible on the bike and run without external storage gear.
The RA Perspective
The Long Distance Tri Short is one of the more technically sophisticated pieces in the 2XU triathlon lineup, and it earns that description through the fabric stack rather than just the spec sheet. ICE X is a legitimate cooling technology: the Xylitol-infused yarn actively draws heat away from the skin, and the IR-blocking component addresses solar heat load — which matters considerably on a long bike course in direct sunlight. The claimed 5.4°F skin temperature reduction is meaningful when you're four hours into a ride in July in Florida or Arizona.
The 70D KINETIC SPEED placement is targeted rather than full-coverage — 2XU positions it in the zones where aerodynamic drag is most pronounced during the bike and run. The compression from the 70D construction also supports the quads and hamstrings over a long effort, where muscle fatigue tends to manifest first.
The Elite LD Chamois is the right call for this application. Standard cycling chamois can be punishing on the run, and thinner general-purpose tri pads can leave athletes uncomfortable after several hours in the saddle. The LD Chamois strikes the right balance for a 70.3 or full Ironman distance, and the Y Elastic grip keeps the short from riding up through transition and the run.
We'd put these on athletes targeting long-course events who want a technically serious short. The ICE X cooling is particularly valuable for anyone racing in warm climates or peak summer conditions, where heat management directly affects run performance in the back half of a race.
