^^^did a quick google search. I saw them online at a few places but the prices surprised me a little. Most were $90+. Full retail on the ones I've purchased were $80 - maybe they've had a price increase. Weird. Still a great short though.

Thankfully Performance is cool about no questions asked exchanges and I got the 'new' 2008 Ultras. I don't see much of a difference in them from the 2007 version, but who knows.
And, yes, I was polite and washed them before returning them to the store.
May give the Hammer bibs a shot soon.
IMO that's not a good thing. I don't see how they can tighten up when you ride - I think that if thats happening the only reason I could possibly think of is that your legs are swelling a little because there is more blood being pumped to them. If the legs are loose thats a sign of an ill fitting short IMO. Most people buy shorts too big.

IMO well fitting shorts should slightly compress/support the leg muscle all the way down. If they don't it's not a well made short.

I would like to place a first time order with Hammer for the Bibs. Does anyone have a 15% discount code that we can both benefit with? Thank you!

I just received my bibs from Hammer...very impressed so far. Good fit, we'll see how they ride in the AM. Also nice was the additional swag in the box (several gels, powders, bars...etc).

Yeah, I've been super happy with the hammer bibs and I really like their gels and heed as well.
I broke down and got the CSC bibs as well since they were such a good deal and I wish I didn't. The pad feels bulky and not nearly as comfy as the hammer bibs. If I were taller I can see the CSC's straps being more comfy.
