These are nice feeling gloves. They should be for $40. They don’t last very long though I am on my second pair. Good for plate umpires as you can manage indicator easily.

Fit nicely. Not heavy duty but work well in cool weather (temps above 40 degrees). Just put them on before if inclement weather and they will work fine.

I bought these to wear behind the plate. I also bought a pair of the heavy Franklin MLB gloves to wear on the bases.

Gives my finger a lot of mobility.

These gloves are great for cold weather umpiring. When working the plate, they are warm enough, but thin enough that I can leave them on while recording substitutions on my lineup card and reaching into my ball bag for a new baseball. While I also have really heavy gloves for the bases, these ones are warm enough to wear on the bases in all but the most extreme cold. These are well worth the price.

Used these gloves for the first time this weekend (38 degrees at game time minus wind chill). These gloves looked great, kept my hands warm, and easily allowed me to use my indicator and grip and throw baseballs. A great investment for our early spring games!

Awesome looking gloves and definitely warm enough for our California evenings. Great fit too!

I have probably 10 pairs of gloves in my car and house. It's hard to find a pair that is super warm, but lets you use your hands. These are so warm and comfortable. I will add this to my 4 pair rotation for the super cold 40 mph wind base games.

I did a lot of research to find the gloves with the best grip for my indicator but still give plenty of warmth, and this is what I came up with. I have found the grip is great. I have not used it in cold weather yet since I won't start umpiring for about another couple of months, but I do believe they will keep me plenty warm enough.

The look and feel provide a class act product. I can still signal to my crew with clear hand motions that can be seen across the field. The fingers allow me to use my indicator and brush with ease.

Great gloves. I got them for football due to the perfect grip and warmth that they provide. These will be awesome in the cold weather baseball months coming up.

High school baseball here in Northern Illinois means cold, so these gloves are a godsend. They're warm, have sufficient tackiness to operate the indicator with ease, and enable me to take off my mask without worrying about my hand freezing to the crossbar.

The gloves fit great and did a great job. Kept my hands warm in mid 40 degree and windy April in Alabama.

Gloves fit great. And does a good job keeping hands warm but at same time looking professional on the diamond as an umpire. Also was delivered very promptly. Good product!

Decent pair of gloves, kept my hands warm the temp was 40 degrees and windy.

Not as warm as I had hoped, but adequate. Wish there was more white coloring on the back sides of the fingers for signaling partners.

I received the gloves very fast and they look great. I like the color more a grey than white, lighter color would be better (more white). Fit good but I haven't used them yet but I will.

Perfect balance between warmth and function. Have used in 20-30 degree weather and they have done great in the field and behind the plate. No problem using my indicator with them on as well.

I own both Under Armor and Newman gloves and the Franklin gloves outperform both. The thickness of the gloves provides better protection from the wind/elements than Under Armour brand. The fingers/palms allow for a fuller range of control (all the way to the finger tips) of even the smallest item (pen/pencil) with working the bases - better than the Newman gloves. Sizing the glove is important. I will be using these when football season rolls around. I highly recommend the Franklin gloves!

A great compliment to the Coldmax base gloves. I have used these for football games and baseball games on the plate during cold weather. They work great and don't hinder the use of an indicator, catching or throwing balls. These are a great addition to my bag and I am sure they will be put to good use very soon.

Good product for the money. Fit nice and snug and allow me to use my hands for getting balls and using clicker.

Just glorified batting gloves, too much color in my honest opinion.

I was optimistic about these at first but after wearing them out on the field they are ALL that was promised and more. Comfortable, warm and a good fit. I recommend these to everybody that is on the fence about these gloves. Great product as usual from Ump-Attire.com! I give them a 9.

At first I was hesitating to buy this product but I'm glad that I did, for me I was looking for gloves that I could wear on the field and behind the plate, when I got them the first thing I did was try them on and use my indicator, PERFECT! Now I can wear gloves behind the plate without having to worry about becoming Mr Freeze. The other nice thing is the gray color on your palm, no more guessing from your partner about what you are signaling, great product.

Can not wait for cold weather to get these gloves in a game. Great feel, perfect for those chilly nights. The grip makes using an indicator easy. Love these gloves.

Great looking glove! Comfortable. Breathable! Wish the entire glove was made out of the same material that's on the top portion of the glove. The palm side is a tacky leather that gets wet pretty easy.

Gentlemen, I'm sure this glove is excellent for the cold / wet weather, surely a nice material.
