Down indicator in cold weather (gloves) or for backup

[SWFLguy]

I never really had a problem with my elastic down and ball placement indicators with gloves on; and I wore them many times back north. Now umpiring baseball or softball and trying to use your indicator was not easy !

Honig's has a new down indicator you can wear over a glove or your long sleeve. Its called the Slider Wrist Indicator (F84 is the model)

That's got possibilites.

I started using the slide version from Honig's this season after not liking the use of the elastic version on the same hand as my whistle. The whistle impeded use of the elastic version. At U I wear the down indicator on both hands, 1 for the down, and the other for tracking ball position between the hashmarks.

It took some getting used to, but I like the slide version. You can wear it over the top of long sleeves also.

The slide thing is interesting, but what's the "4" for??

As you might expect, we end up needing gloves for many games up here, especially after mid October. I started using some diving or scuba gloves last year, and they work like a charm. As long as your hands are moving, it retains most of your body heat and they allow maximum dexterity, making the downs strap easy to handle.

I have used it to -25C (10 to 15 below F?) with success, but it might be too warm for the odd night you guys from Texas might "need" it.

Hoss, don't be short sighted! This thing could be used at the pub after the game to keep track of whose buying the next round!!!

That is kind of like when my chain crews ask me what the "55" on the clip is for.
