Arrow Umpire Shirts (like I would ask about another kind)

I am a larger fellow (read fat ) and I am looking to get some new shirts for this year. I tend to get very warm (more than most, wonder why that is) and was wondering which shirts seem to be the most breathable?

I have some Honigs currently, but they seem to be a bit heavier and the "mesh" a bit smaller than some. I have been checking and I was thinking about the Dalco shirts from Ump-Attire. Any comments, concerns, hikus?

For me the Dalco shirts tend to run a little large, so you might try them out.

I guess that's for going straight from the game to your night job serving at Applebee's?

The suggestion of Dalco shirts is good as they have a more open mesh for warm & hot weather. Not good in the colder weather.

May I also suggest that you look into UnderArmour tops and full length bottoms (with cup pocket for the plate). I am on the larger side also and it's the undergarments that really keep you cool.

If it's that cold I wear a long sleeve shirt behind the plate or a jacket. My Dalco shirts are very breathable though.

It would be a good ball bag to wear while working the bases! :-) That way you can tell the difference between the PU's ball bag and the base ump's ball bag

Wow. Just wow:

This design & color is 'EXCLUSIVE' to The Official's Choice, Inc.. Why this color shirt & trim? Reason is in the year 2009 our design matches perfectly with the darker gray pants. The RED offered by the competition simply DOES NOT. They charge $32.95?
Doesn't match your slacks? Just another reason not to buy red from "the competition" or anywhere else.
