Description

With the 2022 season, these pleated poly spandex expander waistband plate pants are the pants you see on MLB and MiLB umpires.

A 3” expander waistband maximizes flexibility and comfort, especially when combined with 4-way stretch poly-spandex material that is breathable, wicks away moisture and moves with you.

Get the same highly-polished poly-spandex umpire plate pants in a rich charcoal grey, but now with a waistband that expands 1.5” on each side.

PLATE PANT FEATURES

  • Sewn-in saddle seat for added strength to meet the demands of plate work
  • Silky smooth fabric slides easily over your shin guards when you get in your stance (fabric won't get caught)
  • Adequate room in knee to fit all shin guard brands and styles (approximately 12.5" diameter as measured off size 38 waist)

PANT FEATURES

  • 1.5" elastic expander waistband on each side allowing for up to 3" expansion
  • 92% polyester and 8% spandex for an innovative 4-way stretch fabric that moves with you
  • Fabric spreads and lifts moisture from the skin for a cooler and lighter fabric feel
  • Athletic cut for comfort and durability
  • Pleated-front with standard slash pockets
  • Wrinkle-resistant fabric
  • Color: Charcoal grey
  • For baseball and softball

CONSTRUCTION

  • Reinforced-stitching throughout
  • Premium quality double clasp combined with inside support button
  • Upgraded brass zipper will hold up better than plastic zippers
  • Detailed matching grey pocket lining and grey back button with loop on left pocket (say "no" to tan buttons)
  • Wide-reinforced belt loops fit all style and size umpire belts and provide the right amount of spacing, especially in the back - with adjacent loops evenly spaced (no more large gaps or un-professional triple side-by-side belt loops found in other brands)
  • Pressed crease
  • Non-roll, gripper waistband helps keep your shirt tucked

SIZING

  • Sized for true fit with no need to size up (unlike with other brands).
  • Umpire pants are unhemmed to allow you to tailor to your specifications.

CARE

  • Machine wash cold and tumble dry on low
  • No dry cleaning required

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!

Great pants that are comfortable especially working in the summer heat. The expander waist allows ample room. I highly recommend these pants.
