FREE?

The way my mind was wandering, I thought they might wind up costing me several hundred.

I wear plate pants when working the plate.

I wear base pants when working the bases.

And, I will wear combo pants when I work the combo.

Me too. Only way to get a really accurate fit. I had my last plate pants custom made for me, and I wore leg guards and plate shoes for the fitting. They featured extra-wide legs, as I wore Douglas leg guards with the double knee, and had extra reinforced crotch area and double clasps built in and reinforced. They looked and felt great.

The combo is a DH.

I always wear plates behind the plate and combos on the bases. Base slacks are too tight around the leg.

I would/could never wear combos behind the plate. Big legs+triple-knee leg guards.

Kevin, triple knee leg guards? Do they double as a cup?
