Are the Performance Ultras the ones with coolmax? If so, I tried a pair, they were pretty comfortable, but after spending time in the sun, they changed color! Instead of black, they were sort of an ugly, shiny mess of dark, indescribable, iridescent colors! I called Performance and was simply told that the coolmax will do that....... Thanks!! I will now only wear them cycling indoors, alone, in the winter. So IF those are the same shorts, just wanted to warn everyone. Maybe they are better and improved now compared to when I got mine.

I like the Sheebeest shorts. I've had good luck with them in terms of quality. They wear well. The chamois is quite comfortable. I also agree with Emily........if its hot and humid, any clothing will retain moisture. Doesn't matter what it's made of.
