These pants seem to be well made and look really good
Similar to previous generation. Quality, looks.
Have to see how durable.
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!
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 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.
They are also 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.

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.
feels good
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.
Really lightweight and comfortable. Adjustable waist.
