Smitty Open Bottom Half-Zip Umpire Jacket - Black and White

Excellent wearing a jacket! I like tucking it in rather than the elastic band.

I truly like this umpire jacket. It tucks in well and looks great. The one drawback I have found is the jacket does not breath well making it a hot item to wear behind the plate. I do recommend the jacket but suggest a version with venting in the back for warmer climates. When tucked, the moisture vents via the neck and can fog the glasses worn by the plate umpire.

I bought this jacket about 5 years ago and although it's time for another due to the fading, I think this has really been a great jacket. I finally had to install a full length zipper in order to release myself from asking my partner for help in cold weather, due to the extra cold weather gear and sweat shirts for those cold freezing nights.

Excellent plate jacket. It's hard to pull over a chest protector but once on it's plenty roomy and very comfortable. The lining makes it perfect for cold weather games and it looks very professional.

Nice jacket. Fits well. I wear a medium jersey and ordered a medium jacket. In 40 degree temps you will need a long sleeve warm layer under the jacket. I like that you can tuck-in the jacket. Looks great tucked especially when you wear two ball bags working the plate. I'm happy with my purchase.

By far one of the nicest umpire jackets I have seen. Very nice material and perfect for any cold weather. Very easy to tuck in and put over your umpire gear if you are doing the plate. The little pocket is perfect to keep the team line up in. My opinion it's a little easier to deal with having the open bottom than having one with a draw string or elastic waistband.

Thinner than expected, even for a micro fiber. It does keep the body plenty warm, though. Build quality seems to be on par with the blue Majestic jacket I ordered. A little more loose fitting around the neck with the zipper done all the way up. Good jacket.
