Great fit. Lays well over my gear. Durable and elastic waist helps with the overall fit.

I really like these pants. They hold a crease, they look sharp and the color is great. I have the plate and base version of these pants and the only minor problems I have are, the plate pants are a little snug over the shin guards and they do not breathe like the poly/spandex, so they are warmer.

By far the best pants I’ve owned both plate and base. Material holds up well and the color is fabulous. The real plus is the expander waistband - the best innovation to come out in officials’ pants.

True fit, comfortable.

Alone, the best looking umpire plate pants on the market. The price makes buying them a “no-Brainer”!

Nice umpire pants. Sizing is off a little but just what I needed. Order 1 size up.

Very comfortable and well-made umpire pants.

These are great umpire pants, far ahead of some others I've had. The comfort, and freedom, is wonderful. The extending waistband, adds to that comfort. GREAT PRODUCT and GREAT SERVICE!!!

Very comfortable and fits well.

These umpire pants are a good option if you are looking to save some money over the more expensive "professional" pants. Perfectly fine for doing youth games, but as others have mentioned they do tend to fade and they may not match your partner's pants.

The Smitty umpire pants work great. They look nice and last a long time. As an added bonus, they don't leave little marks when you get hit like the new stretch pants do. These pants are also comfortable to wear in both the cold and heat. Finally, they are more affordable than the new stretch pants as well. I do recommend getting both plate and base pants if you can afford it. You'll look better and feel more professional out there!

Nice fitting and very comfortable umpire pants.

Excellent fit, durable quality. Only issue is one of the two clips that holds broke after the second game.

I love the flexibility of these umpire pants. I had to retire my last set of Champro from tearing the crotch one too many times.

These umpire pants are a perfect fit for me thanks to the expandable waist. If you are in between pants size I highly recommend this product. They are the next best pair to the poly-spandex Umpire pants. I'm hoping the poly-spandex can be made in an expandable waistline.

Very comfortable and perfect length.

Comfortable plate pants that look good. Good fit and the flexible waist band is nice for all the moving around behind the plate without being too loose.

Comfortable and look great, love the stretch waist band.

Lightweight, breathable and professional looking! These are a great umpire plate pant for a great price.

Although I've only worn them once, they fit great. Very true to size. Comfortable.

I have to say that I needed a pair of pants and I called Ump-Attire.com along with a new pair of Base Shoes since the ones I used had a blowout! I got these in 3 days! Ump-Attire.com was a LIFESAVER! I recommend them for everybody!

In my 24 years of umpiring these pants by far are the best plate pants I've ever used.
July 14, 2016 Verified Purchase
Very good umpire pants. Have owned a few pairs. They have held up extremely well. Great price, comfort and fit.
August 14, 2015 Verified Purchase
If you wash these pants in Woolite Dark, they will not fade that quickly. I like them because of the comfort and they are cooler then Gerry Davis pants.

Smitty's pants have way too much rear. Looks like a dirty diaper. Color fades within weeks. There has to be a better pant out there. All my umpires have at lease 10 pair of unusable Smitty's with 2 issues. Zipper or color.

Got these pants last week and put them through 12 games right off the bat last weekend! Good fit and very comfortable. Haven't experienced any of the problems with the zipper that other users have reported with these or the Smitty combo's I purchased last year.

I purchased these pants a few weeks ago and have had them 25-30 games so far. The fit is very good and they are holding up well so far.

I purchased 2 pair combo and base pants 2 years ago. After the first month the zipper broke and luckily the other zipper is just fine. My biggest complaint is the seams keep coming apart and back to the tailor's. What I have noticed over the last year is the fading in the back side almost like a tan color. One part of the pants I do like is the expander. I didn't have an issue when I wore Fech's.

Bought 2 pants in 012, nice fit, looks good, BUT zippers on both broke in a matter of months
June 20, 2013
Too much seat. Looks as though umpires have a "dirty diaper". Color fades within a few months. Most umpires have 5 or more burned pants that are perfectly usable except for the color
June 3, 2012
Very good pants for working a lot of games. Machine wash. My only complaint I had was the placement and number of belt loops. I had my tailor sow an extra belt loop in the back.
November 20, 2011
The fit is remarkable. Additionally, the idea of an expandable waistband is quite clever as it gives you a bit more room :-) However, the color is quite awful, especially when you stand next to someone who is wearing the Charcoal pants that Gerry Davis manufactures. I mean no disrespect, and I genuinely love Ump-Attire.com, but these Smitty's pants are, in terms of design and color, quite atrocious when compared to GD.
