Ironing & Steaming Guidelines

  • Always iron inside out
  • Never iron over the gripper waistband
  • When steaming, keep the steamer head moving and maintain distance from fabric
  • Use a pressing cloth for added protection
  • Test on an inconspicuous area first

Pro Tip: To minimize the need for ironing, remove promptly from the dryer and hang immediately. While these pants are wrinkle-resistant, proper care will ensure the best appearance game after game.

UV Protection

  • Store pants away from direct sunlight when not in use
  • Avoid storing in hot environments for prolonged periods (like car trunks or garages)
  • Hang in a cool, dry closet or storage area
  • Keep away from heat sources during storage

Important Note: During normal game use, these pants will experience significant UV exposure - that's unavoidable and they're built to handle it. However, unnecessary exposure to heat and sunlight during storage can accelerate material degradation. Proper storage conditions will significantly extend the life of your pants.

My initial impression is that the pants are well made. No loose threads, all the stitching seems to be well finished. I like the feel of the material. It is more breathable that plain polyester pants, but not as breathable as poly-spandex pants.

had the base pants and had to get the plate too

I returned the pair I bought because the fit and material weren't quite right for me. They are cut quite slim and the fabric is less hefty than most other pants. Thought they would give a neat, tailored look but clung to me and didn't fall easily from waist to cuff. These are really good pants, but be aware the fit might not be for everyone.

Very small sizing

Hi Christian,

These pants have a tailored fit and are best suited for individuals with a slimmer build or those who prefer a more streamlined look with minimal excess fabric. If you prefer a slightly wider cut we'd recommend the 94X or Core Lightweight series.

The look and feel is great. There a little tight thru the hips.

Chris,

Thank you for your feedback. We are making changes to sizing 36+ through the thigh and seat based on customer feedback. A CX representative will reach out to your directly about returning them.

The pant looks great and feels great. It’s tight in the hips and crotch area. Could open that up a bit as I have ripped out the seam in both my plate and base pant. I have had them repaired and no more issues.

Hi Bradley,

Thank you for your feedback. We have passed this information to our product team for further review and they may reach out to you for additional information. If the seam issues have not yet been addressed by our CX team, please reach out to us as your pants are covered under our limited warranty.

The Davis BFX Pro Flat Front NCAA Charcoal Base Umpire Pant is a game-changing addition to any umpire's wardrobe. These pants are as comfortable as your favorite pair of pajamas, but with a sleek, professional look that ensures you stand out on the field. Made with a soft yet durable fabric, they feel like butter against your skin, offering an unmatched level of comfort that lasts through long games and busy seasons.

The flat front design gives these pants a clean, modern look that will complement any umpire's uniform. Whether you're sprinting down the baseline or crouching for a call, these pants move with you, providing the flexibility you need without sacrificing style.

If you're looking for a pair of pants that balance comfort with professionalism, the Davis BFX Pro Umpire Pant is a must-have for 2025. You'll feel like you're wearing loungewear, but look sharp enough to take on the highest levels of officiating.

Right out of the package I knew that this was the best quality pair of umpire pants I've ever purchased. Fit & feel were perfect. While the cost was a little daunting at first I quickly realized that these pants were well worth the price. They look sleek & outstanding worn over gear. Unlike other brands of plate pants I have worn they won't flap like loose sails on windy breezy days. Very pleased with this purchase.

Davis knocked it out of the park with this new line of base pants.

Great pants. True to size, love the extra room for the shin guards. Very nice material. Very comfortable.

Skinny pant legs. I wear a brace and it shows considerably. Besides that the waist is true to size. Very nice material. Great pants with the exception of the skinny pant legs.

Thank you for the review, Carlos. These pants are designed with an aggressive, tailored fit and are not recommended for individuals who require braces or support devices. If you need extra room, we'd recommend the tapered cut on the 94X series or straight fit on 94X or Core Lightweight series of pants.

Really solid pants. No spandex but the polyester still has give and flex and love that it has enough weight to drape and hold a crease well. Straight fit/flat front cut makes the pant less baggy, too. More weighty fabric than poly-spandex of other brands but no less breathable and comfortable in warmer weather.

Pants are true to my size. I am a true 35 inch waist and the pants feel great. They are not tight in the legs like the base pants, the shin guards fit great.

Most comfortable pants I have ever worn while calling on the bases. Our weather is very hot right now and these pants keep me comfortable even in high temperatures
