I just bought a set of the Honig's polywool pants for the first time this season. Looking forward to using them if the snow ever melts.

Get a good pair of plate pants. It's likely one of the least expensive parts of your gear...the poly-wools that Rich is writing about are the top-of-the-line and will last many years. Also, if you find out that umpiring isn't for you, your poly wool pants are an easy sell on the secondary market. Get them hemmed properly.
