Dogmama, those are a step above the ones that I have, but yes, that is the chamois. I was looking at Shebeest today and saw they sell the same one in some shorts. They do tend to hold a little bit of moisture, especially for a uh, "snail trail" prone gal like me. Emily, is that chamois similar to the performance shorts?
It looks quite similar, yes. And yes, the Performance Ultras do hold in some moisture, but then again, I haven't found any shorts that don't. Here in the hot, humid south, you are going to be soaked during and after a ride, shorts, jersey, hair, etc. It's just part of riding! So, I am used to shorts that feel like a wet diaper after the first hour or so, but at least the Ultras have less of the bulk so don't feel nearly so bad (to me).

Cheers,
Emily
