Are the performance elite bibs a good choice ?? Is the pad the right size and thickness ?
How does the sizing run ??

I like them. I'm 5'8", 34" waist. I wear a size large. I think they are just a tad long in the thighs for me, but they fit fine. Been wearing them for about a year and they have virtually no signs of wear.

I like them too. The sizing is "normal" - i.e I have small Performance size, but medium Castello.
The pad is comfortable. I wear them for my long rides: 100 miles or so, have no problems with them.

The cost is great too if you get them on sale

this is gonna sound weird, but ive always pictured you as taller...like 6'

That IS weird.

But anyway...I'm 6'2" (probably like abstractform20 always pictured me), hover around 200 lbs and also wear large in those bibs. I remember trying on both the XL and the L. The clincher for me was that the legs of the XL's weren't very snug around my thighs...so I went with the large...which was extremely snug but relaxed after 5 or so rides.

i really like them. I have a couple pairs of those, and a couple of the ultras. I like them both equally.

I have a pair, and like them. The pad is on the thick side. I tend to use them on centuries and long rides.

They are decent, especially when on sale.

They ain't Assos, but good value. When on sale you should be able to get them for approx 45 bucks.

i too have a pair and like them. like others have said, the pad is a little thick but good for the long rides.

I would say the Ultra II's are worth the price difference.

Seems like their shipping is high

is there any promo codes or anything for free shipping on these ?? They are on "sale" now for 69.99 less 20% but still 10.00 shipping, just wondered if anyone had a promo code that worked for the shipping.
Thanks

They go on sale a couple of times a year for $49, and last year one sale they were $39 - that was around July.

well with 69.00 less 20% they would be like 54.00

i would hate to shop with you. why not just look for used bibs? they should have the lowest price.

Humm, hey not a bad idea on the used ones, thanks

Ok noe I found the Louie Garneau Equioe for 59.00 which ones would have the better mrre comfortable pad ?? The only thing on the LG's is they look like an advertisment they are not all black,I don't like trying to look like I'm a racer when I'm a ham and egger

Gross.

i just sold 3 used pair on ebay for 73.00 ! Im not sure I could ever wear anyone elses used shorts, washed or not.....Still wonder which pair are better LG or Performance

Got two pairs of them myself and I like them a lot! So much better than just shorts IMHO! Going to buy my third one right before the Tour De Palm Springs.

which ones do you have the Performance or LG's ?

I like Boure. More expensive but not as expensive as many and very good quality.

I have 2 pair. They work well for me.
Tried the Ultras and took them back the next day.
Traded down for another pair of Elite.
