The Smitty pants are supposed to be a water resistant fabric. They are definitely not as heavy as the Honigs.

I looked at Davis. There are three different styles. Which ones are you talking about, Rich?

The $50 pairs.

Comfy. Really no warmer than knickers, IMO.

But maybe I am bias.
I don't want to hijack the thread, but just a quick note on a pet peeve of mine: you aren't "biased" by stating an opinion, even if that opinion doesn't take into account all facts (i.e. you used only one of many products and say that one product is very good). Bias means you either have a duty to be objective (as an official, say) and aren't or it means your opinions are offered for a motive unrelated to quality (say, you profit from the sale of something).

Sorry, back to football.

You'd make a fine lawyer.

What do you wear under the pants? I normally wear McDavid compression tights under my knickers.
My crew bought the GD's. Haven't worn them yet.

I wore black compression shorts. When it gets cold, I'll wear UA Cold Gear tights.

I always wear UnderArmour ankle length tights no matter what the pants I have on over them. With the black pants (at least the ones I own) you can wear whatever under them you like. That is the beauty of those pants.

Peace

Wore my black pants (Hoing's) last night for the first time. 8th grade game, played in what was basically a swamp (it had been raining all day, and there were several locations on the field with ankle-deep standing water).

Must say, I was very glad to be wearing those pants. They held up very well, and my legs stayed dry throughout the entire game. Cleaning them postgame was a simple as tossing them in the washing machine.

My shirt and shoes, however, were a different story. Probably going to make that shirt my permanent "mud game" shirt.
