I was kinda intimidated by UHR after reading about their alleged tough break-in. But these things are easier out the gate than any of the IH 25oz pairs I’ve broken in and honestly not much difference from the 21oz.

Giving my first pair of 666 a try in UHR. To be fair, these will probably get tried on and then parked for awhile, way too much in the heavy weight rotation that needs love. But I have been wanting to try a pair of 666 and didn't want to miss getting a pair of these in UHR especially with those measurements looking spot on for me.

For those who where both 666 and 888 cuts. Do you find the thigh & knee measurements carry over exactly the same or can you wear a smaller thigh size in 666 with a similar fit. Wondering how the lower rise affects the thigh fit.

@jpvisual I typically go 34 w 666 and 33 w the 888.

@Denimhead-0 thanks! What about the thigh? How does the rise affect the thighs? I'm guessing the fit can feel different in the thighs because of the lower rise? Meaning can you fit a smaller thigh measurement in the 666 or do you try to match what you have in 888?

@jpvisual this link is to a visual representation of the different IH cuts. As you will see, each cut is overlaid over the other cuts so you can see the likes and differences.

I personally find the thighs a bit bigger on the 888’s than the 666’s.

Hey what do you guys think of this fit? I picked a pair of 888 UHRs up and love them. Tried these out. It feels great. I'm surprised because I thought they would be too tight, but the thighs feel perfect. I definitely would not go a smaller size. The thighs would be way too small. The waist band is kind of floating on my waist, not snug but not excessively loose either. If I were in 888s I'd pass if the waist was like that but the top block and thighs seem slim enough that it seems ok. I'm familiar with uhr so I know this is how they'll end up.

I’d be happy with that fit straight out of the bag

@SKT thanks. The waist is a little big that I'd need a belt even before I wash them. The top block and thighs fit perfect though so kind of on the fence.

If you lose an inch in the waist after the soak seems like they would be great. And they’ll only stretch back out if under strain. Depends on your preferences of course and how they feel now but I’d be a happy camper (especially with heavy stuff like UHR)

@SKT thanks! I think you're right. I tried them on again. They are just a touch too loose in the waist, but they're not even close to falling off or anything. I think keeping a belt on will help with fully stretching back, but not a big deal. Thighs and top block look and feel perfect. I think I'm going with it.
