Hey, datlas!
Please compare the Performance Elite to the Ultra II for me.
I grew up using real chamois in wool shorts. Then I went through a succession of shorts and bibs that just didn't work well for me. Was in Chapel Hill at the Performance store one day and bought a pair of the Elites and that's all I've used since.
The price difference isn't very much between the two and I am very happy with the pad in the Elites. Is the Ultra pad better? I see the Ultra has more panels than the Elite but again, I'm satisfied with the Elites.
