Hey Graeme,
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review on the Signature Hybrid Pants and for sharing your honest feedback about the cut and sizing!
I'm glad to hear that sizing up helped overcome the fit issue and made them far more comfortable for you, but I'm sorry to hear that the initial cut wasn't satisfactory compared to your other 2XU gear. We will take your suggestion into consideration for the improvement of the designs or the cut of the Pants.
Thanks for giving the Signature Hybrid Pants a try and for choosing 2XU!
Warm regards,
Jell
