I need of new bibs. Ripped up mine in crash. I have a question though.
I need some help with finding a good bib. I had these average performance ultra's with a pretty flat chamois see below). I ripped them up so I thought I would ask you guys if for the money there's better and lead me in the right direction? I can't spend allot because I also need a jersey, new helmet, rim straightened, bar tap, etc. At least carbon frame seems ok. Thanks!
PS. I hope that was my one and only nasty crash!!!

Did you have any complaints with these bibs pre-crash?

I really like these. They are the best sub $100 bibs I've ever used. Right now they are $79.99 with the 20% off. You also get free shipping.

I have much much better for under $200. I have a set of Sugoi RS Pro that is a shop kit, about $139 and they're the best ones I've ever owned. Have several LG bibs that are far more comfortable than Performance bibs and they run $139-$150

That's really a matter of opinion, and certainly not my experience.

Haha that's kinda funny that the Sugoi's feel like your not wear a whole lot because the 2015 Ultra felt that way and honestly I didn't really like that felling but got them anyway. Not say they are not better for sure just found that funny we are all so different. I know my question is subject to preference and you really don't know til try. But... suggestions are great!

Hey you guys extolling fit of the Sugois. Did it ever occur to you that they fit you so well because of your shape? Who's to say they fit everyone like that? As for feeling like you are naked, that is not what I would seek in cycling shorts. I am in the light compression camp.

I was skimming through and caught this line. I had to go back and read it again to make sure. Lol- I have a few uncles like that, too.

I bought 2 pairs last month when they were on sale for $48. If you ever have an issue with them, Performance will replace them without a hassle. One could abuse that policy easily, but a simply stitching issue that shows up after 3 months(I've had it happen) gets replaced without question.

I have the Ultra SL's. Got them on sale and then hit an extra one day 20% off online orders. Wound up being $64 each. Got two of the black ones, not the ones with stripes. These are my first bibs since buying Assos many years ago.
Performance has upped their game. I think the Ultra SL line are superior to most of what Pearl Izumi puts out.
They could have better "guy" support, but are very comfortable otherwise. Like you, I think the padding is a bit thin but time will tell if it holds up. Padding technology has changed since I purchased my Assos anyway and so I am reserving opinion. I ride very thinly padded tri shorts at times and really never have a problem in that area anyway.
I'm very satisfied with the Ultra SL's and the price couldn't really be beat.

Agreed and was my main issue. I don't like the feel like everything is just hang'n there for all to see either. (They don't really but make me feel that way). haaha
