ASA's "official gear" plate pants (Fechheimer's) are much too generous in leg room. They are elephant legs. I suppose you could find some leg guards that would need that much room, but not any that I have need it.
ASA's "official gear" plate pants rubberized strip at the waist is ineffective at keeping the shirt neatly tucked in. I still have to use the separate knobby belt.
Cliff Keen's combo pants (pleated) are just about right in roominess for plate duty. Still look a bit too big for base use, but will do. The internal strip is wider than the Fechheimer's and does a better job of keeping the shirt neat. |
Odd. The Cliff Keens I have and the Fechheimers that I have are almost identical, with the exception that Fechheimers seem to have a little more quality fabric, and only one eye and hook fastner. These, of course, are the Fechheimer combos that I order from somewhere other than ASA, so maybe that is the difference. These also have pleats and "normal" style pockets.
