If you're a cyclist that demands the best technology at the best price, then look no further than the Performance Ultra Bib Shorts. Designed in Chapel Hill, NC and made in the United States, the Ultra Bibs ensure you'll be riding at your best.

These bib shorts feature the new Ultra TMF Italian chamois with Skyving technology for seamless, pressure-free comfort, and its multi-density foam with Air Mesh layer provides shock absorption, breathability, and moisture-wicking. The shorts' high compression fabric has an embossed texture and uses push/pull technology to manage moisture while the six panel construction with abrasion-resistant side panels maintain a streamlined fit. The open mesh bib straps allow the body to breathe.

Coldblack technology reduces skin temperature under direct sunlight for the ultimate in cooling comfort on hot days and the an UPF 30+ rating means there's protection against the sun's harmful rays. Wide, sublimated leg bands are non-restrictive and the silicone interior helps to keep the shorts perfectly placed. Built with the same features found in high-end cycling shorts, the Performance Ultra Bib Shorts give you all the benefits the pros are accustomed to.

Features: 

  • Nylon/spandex fabric blend with embossed texture improves aerodynamics, manages moisture, and provides high compression at a lighter weight
  • Abrasion-resistant side panels are made with a special knit that pulls perspiration from the surface of the skin and pushes it off the face of the material
  • Open mesh bib upper for breathable comfort and enhanced stability
  • Ultra TMF Italian chamois is anatomically shaped for long distance comfort, features multi-density foams to absorb vibrations, utilizes seamless Skyving technology to eliminate steps between foam layers, plus has a carbon brushed anti-bacterial top sheet
  • Italian-made leg opening includes a wide sublimated leg band with silicone print to prevent them from riding up the leg
  • 6-panel design with high compression reduces muscle fatigue and speeds up muscle recovery
  • UPF 30+ sun protection
  • Flatlock seams eliminate chafing
  • Reflective accents enhance visibility in low-light conditions

Performance Ultra Stealth LTD Bib Shorts (Black) (XL)
Having several pairs of Garneau bibs, I took a chance on these bibs and I am glad I did. On sale you can't go wrong, and really, even at the full retail price, you wouldn't go wrong. In my case they fit about a size smaller than the chart recommendation (XL fits like a L). The material is on the thin side so let see how they hold up. Other notes, the chamois is a little bulky off the bike but in the saddle they are good. Recommended.

Performance Ultra Stealth LTD Bib Shorts (Black) (M)
These are great mens bibs. The fit is definitely for athletic folks but I wouldn't say elite-level with small waist and huge quads. I am 6'1", 172lbs, 33" waist, and 34" inseam and the medium fits really well on the lower half, although as others have stated the bib straps are a bit short. They aren't uncomfortable, but a little bit annoying if I'm standing straight. The inseam is a bit on the shorter side so I'm working on filling in the tan on the exposed quad and hamstring areas. I don't find it a bother and prefer to get a little more sun.

I like how these shorts don't have 100% Lycra-stretch fabric - which otherwise looks like ladies' tights or yoga pants. The front and rear panels are more of a stiffer polyester fabric which block a tad more wind and spread moisture out sideways with less penetration through the fabric. Also the chamois is inverted so the top surface is smooth which I also like for avoiding chaffing.

Basically as expected. Nice leg grippers. Snug/compressive fit for the size. On my first ride, the chamois seems sewed in a bit too rearward; it feels like my sit bones are in front of the core of the padding when pedaling in the drops. Still, I'm wearing them. For the price, they will have been a good deal if they last for a year.

Performance Ultra Stealth LTD Bib Shorts (Black) (M)
I got the medium waist shorts then the large bib shorts to replace two pairs of 20+ year old shorts that started getting holey chamois. (I've only ridden during 2 or 3 of those 20 years.) At 5'9", 165# , 34" waist, I'm on the large end of a medium and the small end of a large. Both could fit better, but both were okay enough for me to get a third pair...the medium bib shorts. Here are some comments on what I found.
• The chamois is somewhat stiff and will pinch a bit when I'm standing because it wants to spread out side to side. It's comfortable on the bike, though.
• The sit bone bumps on the chamois work. I have no idea why they work, as the pad feels pretty soft, but the comfort level is light years beyond that of my 20+ year old shorts with synthetic chamois.
• The medium waist shorts and medium bib shorts put the chamois in exactly the right spot. Both the medium and large bib shorts tend to pull the chamois toward the back. The large bib shorts put the chamois almost an inch too far back. With either pair of bib shorts, I can grab the chamois and pull it forward before I sit, and it will be fine for maybe an hour.
• The waistband on the medium waist shorts gives me a muffin top. It's not uncomfortable, and it doesn't interfere with breathing, but the muffin top clashes with my self image.
• The medium waist shorts initially rode up more on my left thigh because it was a little bit smaller than my right. Biking on an indoor trainer for a few months has mostly evened out this issue. The large bib shorts ride up equally on both thighs.
• The reflective accents start peeling off after just a few washes. That doesn't matter to me, though, because, in my opinion, it would be crazy to ride in the fog or in the dark without lights.
The medium bib shorts are now my go-to pair. The medium waist shorts and the large bib shorts are tied for second place.

Performance Ultra Stealth LTD Bib Shorts (Black) (L)
The quality of these bibs is very good, a few notes.
1) The sizing chart says I should order a Medium as I have a 34" waist and 5'8.5" tall...they were way too snug in the crotch and bib straps too short. Customer Service (Performance's team is excellent and very responsive!) sent me a Large. Again, too snug and bib straps too short. So Customer Service sent me a pair in XL and they work fine.
2) I don't know what length the legs are, they are mid-thigh for me, so if you like the legs to end closer to your knees, then these may be too short for you. This is why I gave it a four star rating, the product description should tell you this info, I prefer longer leg shorts. I did read a review saying they don't hold snug and creep up, I do not have this issue, they grip quite well.
3) Great feeling fabric on the skin and very comfortable TMF chamois.

Performance Ultra Stealth LTD Bib Shorts (Black) (M)
I purchased these bibs based on the fact that they were not supposed to ride up and that the legs would remain in place. They perform the exact opposite. They ride up more than any bibs I have ever owned. Can't recommend them at all.
