Women's umpire apparel
Any women on this board, particularly those of the petite stature, find a reliable source of apparel? I'm having a hell of a time finding pants suited for behind the plate that do not come up to my chest, which of course makes it difficult to wear a chest protector. Just wondering if anyone has tricks of the trade, or found a website or even brand of department store pants that work?

How petite?
My daughter was about 5'4" when she umpired. The Fech women's pants fit OK... a bit high waisted, but compared to teen fashions (she was 17 at the time) just about anything is high waisted. Honigs also sells womens plate pants. |
Very petite, 5' nothin. I'm having the "high waisted" problem, to the point that there is no way I can wear a chest protector and tuck in my shirt. I'll have to try the Fech kind. Anyone else have any advice?

Fech (Fechheimer) is also the uniform supplier to the USPS, so a general uniform shop that sells Fech may have a greater variety of small sizes than your typical umpire shop. |
I moved to the honigs K2 a few months ago and love it.
Its definately not for females IMO. I'd recommend the Schutt for her. |
How about youth catcher gear? Possibly altered as Tom did above.
