For those that have used both which do you prefer. Never tried either out, but they look to have many similarities with a few differences. I'm looking to get some, but just wanted to know which one is the preffered pant. Thanks!
Warrior hustler or franchise pants

Franchise pants have more of a ''forward lean'' to them. I honestly can't tell when I'm out there. They feel the same.

To me they feel quite similar as stated. I feel the franchises may also be slightly smaller than the husters as well.

Arent they the same thing except for the 6 pack and spine protection?

Thanks, this is what I assumed based in what I've read so far. I'm in Alaska and no retailers carry these pants so I can never see first hand. In fact, I rarely, maybe twice, seen anyone with warrior pants up here. Warrior gloves are also not super common either. I should also mention I'm not really specifying retail or pro stock. Just opinions on either. I'm currently in a 9K girdle, but always wanted to try these out.

Basically, yes.
The side protection is cut lower.

The Franchises seem to have a "wider" fit than hustelrs as well.

I have read the leg openings are smaller on the hustlers. I always find contradicting information though. Franchises are a wider fit? JTully Previously posted they are a smaller fit?

I feel that the franchise fits me better than my hustler. both in mediums, yet to me the franchise is more comfortable/better fitting

unless I have a strange pair of franchises that doesnt seem to be the case. the fit between the two is quite similar. almost negligible difference between the two

Only difference I realize is the forward lean. Waist fit is the same to me.

Franchise has forward lean and wider leg opening. Both run larger than other brands but same waist.

It would fit you more snug if you got the small. I wear a medium in bauers as well. I have to crank the belt down all the way on my franchises/hustlers (mediums as well)

I'd say go with the S in Franchise. Definitely go try them on if you can.what about sizing in franchises? i wear M in bauer one 80 pants. Do I need S size franchises?
I wear S in my Bauer X60 and XS for Franchise. I didn't bring both pairs with me but I swear side by side the XS Franchise is bigger than the S X60.

Now that I have started to break in my Hustlers and Franchises I have to say I like the Hustlers better. The Franchises are a tad bit roomier imho and I think I prefer the neutral fit over the forward lean
