Need some new pants

Looking to purchase some new pants this year - my old ones are about worn out. I've been looking at the Gerry Davis site and have considered purchasing them - they make pretty good baseball/softball pants.

Also was looking at the new Smitty 4 way stretch pants, but the pics I've seen they don't really look that great.

Anyone have thoughts on them?

Pentagon pants if you like a tailored look.

I have a pair of Davis pants with the adjustable tab. I can make them fit just right.

The Smitty 4-way stretch pants are absolutely the best pants I've worn. I have bought a pair each of the last two years and might get another couple pair just in case they stop making them. Very comfortable, light, and they move with you. I love them.

I don't love the Smitty 4-way stretch. First, I don't like the non-pleated look. It just doesn't look clean - and I'm thin. The pants just don't look as nice in the front as the pleated to me. The feel of the fabric is weird as well against my skin. I like the lightness of the fabric but I don't like the feel. I wear long compression tights so it doesn't bother me as much as when I wear the compression shorts underneath. I bought a pair of Sansabelt pleated pants and those are ok, but I think I like the regular Smitty pleated the best of all. I just wish they were fitted better in the ass and legs to form better to your body so they don't always look like old man pants.

You should wear these during the playing of the Star Spangled Banner before the game.

"Athletic Cut"???

Someone at the area post-game gathering last night stated that some suppliers offer an "athletic cut" style which might not feature those overly-baggy pants legs that the Smitty's and Cliff Keen brand pants I ordered have.
Anybody informed about "athletic cut" who knows where I can find them?

I see that now - when I ordered mine only the flat front was available. Wish I had known they were coming out with the pleated - I would have waited.

I bought a pair (pleated) over the summer. After wearing them to my first game this season, I bought another. I like that they are light. Much more comfortable than any pants I've previously worn.
