I've got the GDs plate pants and with the humid weather in this area, they are airy and much lighter the Honigs counterpart. What I really like is that the GDs don't get caught in the top of the shin guard (I use scissors) and with a heavier pant, each time I came up I had to do a snatch and pull to get the leg back down. These kind fo just slink back down. Never have ironed them and amamzingly they don't hold crushed red brick or field dirt. The color is much better than the heather grey which fades something awful as my Honigs combos will attest to...2 more weeks and I'm going for the base pants. The comfort waistband and rubber grip let me get rid of the old flex belt which really doesn't flex anymore as much as it does bind. Great pants! Thanks Gerry (and Scott)
