ASA Umpires

I purchased a pair of Honig's navy blue combo pants two years ago. They have the western-style pockets, which at first I wasn't too thrilled about. After wearing them, I'll say that the pockets aren't so bad. These are actually quite comfortable pants. The construction and material are top-notch. In fact, compared to some pants I've owned these seem almost bullet-proof! They seem to be more durable, with thicker material, than the heather grey Cliff Keen's I own.

As far as sizing, I haven't measured the leg openings or rise. For fit and feel they definitely do not seem as roomy as any of the plate pants I own. My shin guards and cup fit under them just fine, yet they are sleek enough for use on the bases without looking baggy or sloppy.

In short- I love these pants! It would be interesting to see them side-by-side with the Officials Gear offerings. I wonder if you could even tell them apart?

I saw in last months Referree Mag that Dalco is offering a combo flat pants grey. I just have not seen it on any of the umpiring web sites to buy currently.

Might be worth checking out.
