Smitty Performance Poly Spandex Charcoal Grey Umpire Base Pants with Expander Waistband

Absolutely comfortable. Can’t go wrong with an expander waist!

I fully recommend these pants for summer baseball. They breathe so much better than the regular poly-wool umpire pants do. For spring ball, I still wear the regular pants (poly-wool), but when the weather heats up I start to reach for these. They breathe well, dry well (rain or sweat) and you just feel cooler in these with every breeze. These pants tend to wear well, hold their color and look great - what's not to like? Buy a pair and get out there!

These charcoal grey base pants are very well made and look sharp. These are the pants to buy for baseball season. Side note: find a good seamstress to get your pant lengths correct.

Great fitting base pants.

Great product. They are the best pants I ever had. They don't fade. Fits well too.

These pants are great. Very comfortable. Look great right out of the dryer. Professional looking.

Hi, if you're just starting out to officiate in any Sport, make this the online store to buy from. The Service and Shipping are great & fast! I recently purchased from Ump Attire and both my orders were here in two days. The quality of the Smitty clothing is second to none! I will make Ump Attire.com my go to for future purchases.

These are the best pants put there, especially of you are working in hot, humid environments. They also do not fade nearly as fast as other brands and if maintained, can last several seasons.

I love these pants and will not wear anything else. They are comfortable in the heat, and they wash and wear well. The best baseball umpire pants in my book!

Super comfortable. Great fit and flex. Solid value and great appearance. Getting a lot of great use from them.

Love the fit and feel of these pants. Much more comfortable than the original Smitty pants.

Lighter and more comfortable than the old wool blend. Looking forward to wearing these in hotter weather.

I especially like these umpire base pants. They look professional and are easy to take care of. Mine did sun fade after five years of frequent use but they still look very good. They are light and comfortable in the warm summer games. I'm excited to have the flexible waist band on an already great pair of pants.

These umpire pants hold up incredibly well!

These are the ideal pair for umpires that have worn combo pants in their early careers and need an upgrade for umpiring the bases. The Expander Waistband is worth the extra cost. The color and cut of the pants help to make you look and feel like a professional out on the diamond. Would highly recommend to those that are looking to buy their first pair of base pants.

My third pair! Most comfortable I’ve ever worn on the field!

Bought a pair of base pants, they are so baggy I use them for plate pants. This is the second pair I bought, thinking it might have been a mistake, it wasn’t.

Excellent umpire pants. My other pairs, going back four years (have moved from 40 to 38 to 36) are still in great shape. Color is good, and the pants stay sharp and pressed-looking. They wash well in your washing machine. Other plate and base pants from another umpire equipment supplier, that are branded with that company’s name, have lasted at most a season and a half before fading and turning kind of purple. The fabric in these pants does not fade at all. If I hadn’t lost weight, I wouldn’t have needed to get additional pairs. The waist band has great give, so they still fit well if your waist is within 2 inches of the size. There’s really no reason to get any other plate or base pants.

Nice umpire pants. Color is nice. I would like to see button fastening pants. Would be easier to attach.

Fantastic umpire pants. Same great quality fabric as the old version without the expander waistband. With the expander waistband, pants in the same exact size will fit a lot nicer, and provides forgiveness when we inevitably put on a few pounds over each offseason. The stitching on these pants are far and way superior to competing brands.

A great product that keeps you looking professional on the field in all weather!!! I couldn’t be more satisfied with my purchase. On top of the superior products, the customer service was extremely professional and the shipping time was second to none! I will definitely continue shopping with Ump-Attire.com!

When these pants were first introduced a few years ago, I ordered a pair. I returned them because they didn't fit great (too tight, no expander waist) and the were too light weight. I gave the new version a try this season and I really like the look, feel and fit. They are certainly cooler than my other pants. The size is a bit of a guessing game, the pairs I received ran large. I had to order several sizes to get some that fit, but in the end, I did and am very pleased.

Great umpire pants! Just lacking a finished length size. Paying $60 for pants and more to get hemmed and tailored.

These umpire pants are amazing and comfortable. They hold everything you need.

Awesome umpire pants that stay in place and do not bunch up while you are working. These are my new favorite umpire pants.

Love these umpire pants. Extremely comfortable and breathable.

I was a little hesitant to buy these because of the "expander waistband" because I wasn't quite sure how it would work. I can say now that it is definitely worth it as the waist stretches and contracts no matter how large the waist is. I have a 30 inch waist and it supported that. About the leg length, it is not hemmed and this is very useful, but be prepared to take it to a tailor because I had to hem off about 8 inches off the leg to have it fir me correctly. This is a very good product, very comfortable, and very useful if it starts to rain a little bit because the pants, as far as I can tell, are water resistant and the rain beads up on the pant.

Great umpire pants. They are perfect for the warmer months. I love the feel and look. The expander waist is the greatest improvement to any umpire pants.

Very, very comfortable with a great look. I was able to get them on sale which is always nice - and the customer service, per usual, was outstanding.

It's Smitty, what else can I say? Top notch quality. Remember you have to get these hemmed! I doubt I will use these long enough to need the expander waistband (let's hope!), but it helps to ensure a great fit without sending them back.

Great umpire base pants. I like both the combo and regular base umpire pants.

Great, professional-looking umpire pants!! I’ve been wearing these poly spandex for a few years & needed an additional set of base & plate pants. These are the most comfortable, best-looking pants I’ve had. I’ve recently lost 30 pounds so the expander waistband will come in handy. The value of these pants is unsurpassed!!!!

I love the material.

Outstanding look and feel. Can’t beat the price either. Would recommend to anyone who wants to look the role of an umpire.

Wow! Look and feel fantastic. I had those old heavy clunky cotton umpire pants, and these are so much better. Do yourself a favor and purchase these pants.

Love how these umpire pants feel and look while on field.

Pants are lightweight, breath well, comfortable. But very baggy for a smaller guy 5'7" 155lbs.

These are the only umpire pants I will wear on the field now. Lightweight and very breathable. I work at a lot of games on turf during the summer months and found these to be great pants to wear. They are also pretty good for colder weather. But not good with the wind as the wind blow right through them.

Comfortable and durable. They move with you.

I was skeptical about Smitty umpire pants from the older style. I did 3 college games this weekend and hands down Smitty hit a home run with these pants.

These are by far the best umpire pants on the market. They are extremely comfortable. The flexibility that these pants offer allows for optimal movement on the diamond. They are very professional looking as well. A must-add for your umpire bag.

I tried these umpire pants out two years ago, and not sure why I didn't try sooner. Most comfortable umpire pants I've ever owned. I doubt I will ever find something else I like better.

By far the best looking most comfortable pair of umpire pants I've ever owned. The best investment made this offseason!!

Umpire pants are good quality and very comfortable. I am a pretty big guy, and I find them to be generously cut. In addition to having them hemmed to length, I also had to have them tapered in the legs to keep them from easily stepping on the lower leg opening. I will definitely buy again, but it cost me quite a bit in tailoring for the four pairs of base pants a bought this year.

Haven't worn them, bought for the 2020 season. Look and feel like good quality.

I was referenced by umpires to purchase these pants; this is my first order of the Smitty brand plate and base pant thru Ump-Attire.com. I have rated it on its appearance and fit only, as I have not used them on the field yet, so I am unable rate its quality.

These umpire pants are fantastic and the material lasts quite a while without fading. Currently, these are the only style of umpire pants that I purchase. I have tried others but these have been the best so far.

Yes, it's worth it to get a pair of these base umpire pants to go along with your combo or plate umpire pants. They look great and give you a really nice, professional, non-baggy profile when doing the bases.

I love the look and feel of these pants. I don't recommend this material for the plate as they wear when they rub against something, but for the bases they are great. Only 4 stars because they are definitely NOT wash and wear. You will have to press or steam them to remove the wrinkles, even after removing from the dryer immediately.

Feel great and easy to move around in.

Absolutely love the pants. The flexibility and the cool feeling while you're working those hot summer days in July, really does make a difference and they look absolutely fabulous! Very professional, and a true umpire look. Would've given them 5 star, but today my zipper broke off my plate pants, I don't know how it did, but I didn't buy them that long ago. Disappointed in how quickly the zipper broke. But overall, a fabulous pant!!

I was taught that looking the part is very important. If you want to be an umpire you certainly need to look like an umpire. These new pants certainly help in that regard.

Best umpire pants in the business! Very light weight with good air flow. Love the flexible waist.

Love these umpire pants, wore them all weekend at a training clinic. Looked good all week and remarkably comfortable. All day on the field on a Saturday in Georgia and it was 97 at 6pm. Felt great, would have absolutely died in the old fabric style pants.

These pants are probably the best I've owned in 16 years of umpiring. They're comfortable, durable and they look great. Smitty hit a HR with this product!

These are better than last years model. Waistband is much better. The fit is great, and I have received many compliments on how they look. They feel great when working the plate, and I highly recommend these to all umpires at all levels.

Great pants, very comfortable and they look great.

I never knew there was a difference between plate pants and base pants. They are comfortable and you can actually breathe in them and not feel confined in them.

Best of all that is offered. Fit well, look real professional and the expandable waistline allows for flexibility when needed to tuck in a jacket on a cold day. A great buy at any level.

The very best umpire pants on the market. Very comfortable and professional looking.

Love them! Bought the umpire combo pants last year and now have the base pants.

Really comfortable and look professional on bases.

Very comfortable, and great to wear behind the plate and on the bases. I own 2 pairs, they are by far the best umpire pants on the market!

Excellent umpire pants. They fit well and look even better than I thought. Worth the investment!

These are great umpire base pants and seem well built! Would have given them a 5th star but the base pants developed a run from the inseam, mid-thigh toward the front of the thigh about 5 inches long after being used and washed less than 5 times last season. The material is light and somewhat water resistant but the run which may have been there the entire time and is really not that noticeable at this point, what worries me is for the cost will they last another full season?!

Best umpire base pants I've used. Feel great and look great.

Great fit and very comfortable. 100% as advertised. 5 stars!

Great feel. The expander waistband is amazing since I'm always in between sizes kind of guy. Not too tight and not too loose. The material of the pants can make it slick on your hands when holding the set position, but the feel is amazing. Great stuff.

Expander waistband is awesome! Great material, best umpire pants I have ever owned!

Excellent fit and very comfortable fabric. Highly recommended!

I've been waiting for these umpire pants to come out with the expander waist band and they did not disappoint. These are perfect for after the holidays or any time where you may have taken a few weeks/months off and gained a few extra lbs.

By far the best umpire pant on the market. Light weight, cool, and they look good at the same time. A must have!

Best umpire pants on the market, no contest. I'll never own another pair!

Love these pants. Cool in the summer, warm enough in the fall. Easy to maintain. They don't hold dirt like other material so the don't need to be washed after every use. This means they should last longer. The fit is good. The only kind I'll buy from now on.

Absolutely awesome fit. These umpire pants are great and a fair price as well.
