Have mine...they're a tad bit big. Won't be wearing them for High School contests (as WIAA here in WI is almost always the last one to change course with anything) but will try them during late season youth games here.

I'm also on the side of these over knickers...when conditions permit. I find it kind of funny that nearly all indoor sports and summer outdoor sports use dark, full length pants, yet football which sees every possible weather condition there is, uses bright white knickers. I've already had 4 games this year that have required some serious work to get stains out of my Honig's. When it gets downright cold like during playoffs here in WI, It'll be much easier to add base layers under those rather than knickers. I think that within 10 years, you'll see almost everyone wearing these, at least late in the year or where lousy weather conditions occur. Look at what's happened to soccer and baseball officiating wear over the last 10...just a trend (and good marketing).
