Cliff Keen shirts

I'm very happy with the look, feel and fit of the Smitty Comfort-Tech shirts. Very good quality, low price, light and comfortable. Highly impressed.

Anybody used/have reviews of the Cliff Keen undergarments (carried by GD) that are similar to the McDavid products?

I purchased some of the Gerry Davis/ Cliff Keen undershirts this year. They are great at wicking and are extremely comfortable. The fact that the sleeves are cut shorter works well to hide the sleeve under the umpire jersey.

I bought both the mock style and the regular collar style. I prefer the regular color version myself, but both are great.

they are my favorite undershirts for calling games.

One extra important point: The fabric on those shirts is very forgiving when trying to pull it on over your CP. The Cliff Keen, Honig's and PlusPOS all have to be ordered an extra size larger just to enable you to slip them on.

I used the Gerry Davis Signature Cliff Keen shirts this year and really like them. The thicker fabric is nice and the look is very sharp. The fabric is not forgiving as far as pulling over your CP, but I was stil able to get away with wearing a XXL.

I did not work a ton during the hot summer months, but when I did the thicker fabric was not an issue. I did notice that their pro blue shirts are a different shade than both the Honigs and +POS shirts, so if matching is important you might check out a different brand.

This off season I picked up some Honig's and Smitty shirts through some good sales. I really like the Smitty ones...the comfort tech fabric feels nice. As far as the Honig's ones are concerned, I had to go up a size and the fabric does not feel as nice. Plus Honig's sewed my flag patches on wrong twice. What part of 2" below the shoulder seam do they not understand. But, they had red shirts, and the light blue with the r/w/b trim which are getting harder to find.

Not my experience with the Honigs shirts. I wear an XL on the bases and an XL on the plate with no problems getting the shirt over my cp at all. My cp is a WV Platinum. No the shirt isn't baggy when I'm on the bases.

I think the problem is that you need to stop wearing the WV Platinum on the bases.

Ok, I haven't worn my WV on the bases, YET. I have, after being hit in the thigh in the B position, worn my Interawear Hexpad Compression shorts on the bases, sans cup.

WOW, it's a good thing you weren't in the doggy position when you got hit!
That could've resulted in a trip to the proctologist.

If I did that those line drives that hit me in the chest would hurt. It's why I wear my mask and shinguards on the bases also.
Yep, ballbags too! I gotta have some place to put my brush when I'm not cleaning the bases and the pitcher's plate!!
