Care Instructions
  • Machine wash cold with like colors
  • Wash inside out
  • Used mild, non-abrasive detergent
  • Do not bleach or fabric softeners
  • Tumble dry low/no heat or hang dry
  • For best results, remove promptly from dryer and hang

Ironing & Steaming Guidelines

  • If needed, iron on lowest polyester setting only (275°F/135°C maximum)
  • 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.

The waist size adjuster clips are exposed above the belt. Would tighter belt loops help eliminate this?

Hi Daniel,

There will be some style changes for next season to help with this. We appreciate the feedback!

Similar to previous generation. Quality, looks.
Have to see how durable.

I bought these because they're required for my upcoming tournament. However, I hate them. First of all, the weird metal waist adjustment system: it adds extra bulk, prevents my belt from sitting flat, and worst of all: it's fragile! I had it adjusted fairly tight, and I squatted down, and the large metal staple that was holding the adjustment system together pulled out. I had to use pliers to put it back together.
They are cut really poorly to fit a woman, but that's not an issue for most of you guys. Nevertheless, Davis sports: get a clue. Women umpires deserve uniforms that fit us too.

First of all, the weird metal waist adjustment system: it adds extra bulk, prevents my belt from sitting flat, and worst of all: it's fragile! I this one hasn't broken yet, but I bought it with the same style of base pants, and the base pants BROKE. What I mean by that is, I squatted down, and the large metal staple that was holding the adjustment system together pulled out. I had to use pliers to put it back together.

These pants are as advertised - lightweight and easy to move in but still hefty enough to drape well and keep a tailored look. Have been happy with these in both warm summer weather and chilly spring games with tights underneath. Expandable gripper waistband works easily and well also. Quality product.

Nice pants. Used the plate pants two games and the belt loops had loose thread hanging. But that was an easy fix. They hold the crease way better then the Smitty while being the same weight. All in all great pants as usual from GD sports.

I just received my pants back from the tailors ( having hemmed ) looking forward to wearing, I currently own 2 combo charcoal pants which I purchased, currently satisfied with my purchased.

The quality of these pants are excellent. They look great and are made to last. The adjustable waistband is fantastic and adjusts a good amount. In my experience the waist size is my larger than 'normal' but has a big adjustment. If you're in between sizes I would go down.
The cut on the legs is slim. This works well for me because I'm a slim guy. I love these base pants!

Very comfortable and breath well in the heat. Easy to keep clean and look good. Only thing that I would recommend is to reinforce the crotch seam. First time I went hands on knees it split a little. Quick reinforcement stitching worked well afterwards.

Too thick, too heavy, too warm, little flexibility

Proper Waist and Lenth ordered, however I am unhappy with the comfort. Both pair I ordered have little flexibility when squatting into the plate umpire position. They are thicker and heavier. They are hotter because they are tightly woven and really uncomfortable.They are a lighter color than Smitty Charcoal and therefore do not match most umpires I work with. I am really unhappy but your policy says I can not return them because they were hemmed.

Thank you for your detailed feedback on the Core Lightweight pants. We understand your concerns about flexibility and comfort. Our pants use 100% polyester fabric, which offers less stretch than spandex blends but provides superior durability and color retention, especially under frequent sun exposure. The tighter weave balances airflow with durability and quality hand feel.

Regarding color, our charcoal shade has been consistent for decades and is slightly lighter than Smitty's. We apologize if this doesn't match your expectations. As for our return policy, altered or game-worn pants cannot be returned, which is standard in our industry.

We appreciate your input and are always looking to improve. If you have any further questions, please contact our customer service team.

The pants came with a belt loop that was unstitch. There is a metal clasp that helps tighten the pants that broke after 5 uses. Poor quality especially considering they cost 70.

Hi Jonhaven-

I'm sorry to hear that you've experienced issues with our pants. We take product quality very seriously and want to ensure your complete satisfaction. Please contact our CX team so we can discuss the problems you've encountered and explore warranty options that will best address your concerns. They will be happy to assist you promptly and work towards a resolution.

If looking for professional quality is one of your expectations, Davis products will meet or exceed your expectations. This is the first time in my 30 years of umpiring that I've used a flat front pant because I believed the room in the pleated pants was more comfortable. These play pants not only have the room, all equipment fits comfortably underneath and give an exceptional professional look. There is more ease of movement in the traditional pants that I have used behind the plate over the years. The expandable waistband allows for extra clothes in the colder months while adjusting for fewer clothes in the warmer months and giving that perfect fit around the waist. Finally found a pair of plate pans that moves easily with all my gear and maintains his professional look from first pitch to last.
