When it says "will shrink up to 1 inch in waist"
I assumed that meant, across, laying flat measurement.

Or does it mean 1 inch in circumference?

[Mizmazzle]

@99Tjadams gonna say it’s a total of 1”. So if you’re measuring flat, it would be .5” and then doubled.

So for example, if you measured flat across and for 15” then doubled that, you’d have a 30” waist.

Check out how IH measures for the most accurate correlation to what you’re measuring at home to how they measure there at IHUK.

RESTOCK

[Mizmazzle]

Put these on my very early Christmas wish list!! Come on Santa!!

Maybe I need a Labor Day list!!

[99Tjadams]

I’m going in circles every day trying to decide between these or a 777 coming soon.
As far as I’ve read the top block in the 777 is a little tighter, and with a slightly wider knee the thigh region should have a little more room.
Is that correct?
The measurements between the two are similar but I image they fit/feel much different.

(Also difference in rise of course)

My 555 UHR arrived today and I’m super stoked! Shout out to @Graham for assisting me along the way.

I went with a tag 32 based on the measurements, but after 13 years of being a bike messenger with 6 of those spent racing professionally I’ve got these thicc thighs and often times it makes sizing difficult.

Pre soak, everything feels great but the thighs are about as snug as I can do. Given your collective experience, will the thighs return to current state after a soak, wash, and breaking in? If so, it’s totally workable.

That said it’s entirely possible the 555 isn’t the right cut for me. The 666 UHR in the closest waist size looks like it has a slimmer thigh so it seems like that might be out of the running for me. Would a 777 be a better choice? 888? I ask about those because I think in general I prefer the taper, however I may just require a classic straight leg for my build in which case a 634 may be in order.

Any and all input and criticism is welcome. Thanks in advance!

[Mizmazzle]

@indigo_nico 888 is the money cut for thick thighs…and just overall rad AF in my opinion.

I can’t say for sure because I’ve never had any UHR…but the thigh stretching back out is probably not going to happen unless they are under lots of pressure. Waist will because all the force placed in that area.

But maybe the UHR responds a bit differently…but by general rule of thumb the thigh is not gonna stretch much…and any stretch you get would be rather uncomfortable to gain.

[indigo_nico]

@Mizmazzle yeah looking at the measurements, the thigh looks like it would be a better fit in the 888. perhaps that will be the move. looks like everyone is out of the UHR in that, so might have to go with XHS… which is actually what i was on the hunt for in the first place haha.

[indigo_nico]

FWIW, this is the fit. as I mentioned, it feels pretty good everywhere but the thigh is quite snug. bigger in the waist would be too big I feel.
