i personally would not recommend combo pants. i have a pair as backups to my plate and base pants, but i hope that i never need to wear them. on the plate they look ridiculous, especially working GD and having them come up a few inches to show my shinguards off. on the bases i find they a bit too roomy in the legs.

also, i wouldnt recommend buying only plate pants and wearing them on the bases. i had to do this once because a scheduled single scrimmage turned into a double header (we arranged i was on the plate beforehand) and A) plate pants are typically longer, and were almost dragging under my shoes, and B) they were flapping in the wind like 2 flags on my legs.

if you cant afford separate base and plate pants, go for combo pants but do try and see if you can afford the separates.
