Leafs (white stripe) is 14A fit2

All blue is 12A medium. 

Not sure if the tape helps at all but they actually measure out the same. But the 14A definitely feel to big on me compared to the 12 

I also noticed that between the two, although they are very close to the same pant design on the waist. The legs are different obviously with the rule change, the two pants sit on my hips different to, which could be aiding in the 14a being longer on my leg. 

I got a new pair of 12A medium. Love them. Got a great price on 14A fit 2, they are NOT the same size. The waist is definitely a BIT more roomy. 14a can slide straight off my hips while the 12a will stay, also the 12a will sit about 1/2 inch above my knee while the 14A cover part of my knee. 

I had bought a 12a Large dirt cheap with the purpose to resell, but I tried them on just to see and the 14a fit 2 reminded me a lot of the size of the 12a Large. 

In general I personally like the legs on the 12a better but they are hard to find these days in medium. 

By what I am reading, I suppose the 14a fit 1 would be to long as well?
