This version of the plate pants are different from previous versions. Myself and others have noticed that the pant leg is tighter in the area where our shin guards are positioned. I take that to indicate that the pant leg in not as wide as it once was and is tighter than in previous versions. I double checked the order to see if these were COMBO pants.

Absolutely love the pants. Durable and easy to maintain. Don’t use any other pants.

This is the 2nd pair for me and the fit is dead on for me.
The combination plate/base pants looks great in either fashion, and you can not tell if you’re wearing a plate pant on the field because they blend perfectly for both, unlike the old days where you had to have both styles to look professional on the field.
All I have to do is to take them to my tailor and they’ll be ready to go.

Pants are good looking but only worn once and there is a tear in the pants that is not on the seam. They are comfortable but did not hold up. Typically, I would get multiple seasons out of a pair of pants.

I was skeptical about moving away from wool/poly blend, but these pants are terrific. Light weight and move easily without needing a tug when I drop down into the set. The color is great and they look fantastic.

Pants are super comfortable. Light weight. Plenty of room to wear shin guards and not feel restricted. The extra stretch waist band is perfect.

Great quality pants! It makes you not sweat as much and holds in that moisture when it is hot and/or cold. It perfectly fits with my leg guards too!

These Smitty Umpire Plate Pants are a must-have or buy for umpires of all levels in baseball or softball. They provide you with that professional look with the flat front style while also providing that professional feel with their technology. The expander waistband allows you to tuck in your jacket on those colder days, so your hands aren't obstructed when reaching into your ball bags for a new ball or getting out your clicker or brush in those bag pockets. These pants last the test of time; even after multiple washes, they still look great. But when the time comes to buy new pants, these Smitty Pants are my one and only choice till my umpiring career comes to an end. SMITTY HIT A HOME RUN WITH THESE PANTS!!

Great fitting and good looking. Light and cool as far as temps go on those hot days. They hold up well and don't hold wrinkles. Easy to care for as well. Just what you would expect from Smitty.

Great quality, great look and reasonable delivery time to Europe. An info to all my fellow umpires in Europe - for the perfect fit you may choose the same waist size you use when you buy a pair of jeans.

Great job. Ordered and arrived on time. The quality exceeded my expectations. I only had to get them hemmed. Great quality!!

Super nice! However, I wish they would start making pants for super skinny umpires like me.

They look great. Wish they were already hemmed. Prompt delivery.

Comfy, but be forewarned, they ARE HUGE in legs. I have had mine altered and custom fitted, so I don’t feel like I have clown pants on.

These pants not only feel good on you, but they also breathe during the heat of summer, do not fade, and most of all they look great on you. I work 100-130 games during the 3 months of summer and they never let me down.

For that MLB look, these are your go-to pants. A sharp and crisp look with a true size fit. Judgements are formed prior to the first pitch, and if you want to look like a professional, always dress the part. I highly recommend this item. Also, this adjustable waist garment looks no different and the non-adjustable version, but the comfort is unmatched.

Have the flat fronts in Heather and now need charcoal for new leagues. I have one pleated pair in charcoal but the flats are just more me. These poly spandex pants are the best I have worn in hot, Florida weather. They wash well and don’t wrinkle if hung immediately after drying about 80%. In other words - remove from the drier before completely dry.

Only pants I use for the past several seasons regardless of game day/time temperature!
I expect nothing less of this new addtion to the rotation!

These pants are amazing. The lightweight and flexible waist are a huge plus. I would wear these pants every day if I could.
