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

Comfortable and flexible for movement. Breathable as well.

Great umpire pants! Just need a finished length now.

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

Love these umpire pants. Extremely comfortable especially during multiple games on the dish.

Best pants on the current market, enhancing professional appearance. Material and color holds up well for long-term use if proper laundry care is taken. Extended waistband is ideal, as we all gain/lose weight throughout the year. I carry two pair of plate pants and two pair of base pants with me to every assignment.

Definitely worth it for the price it is listed as. The expanded waistband is worth it and the larger knee to accommodate the shin guards is a good investment. The material is stretchy enough that I can comfortably squat down behind the plate, but not too stretchy so that I run the risk of tearing the material. It is a perfect pair of pants for behind the plate and it also takes into consideration the possibility of rain. When it rains, the water beads up on the pants and just falls off.

First impressions looks good feels good and works well over umpire shin guards. Looking forward to some field time to evaluate how they function under game conditions.

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

Same as the base umpire pants. Great look and feel. Outstanding price. If you need new umpire pants, now is the time to order.

Pay the extra $ and have a great pair of umpire pants. They even help to keep your shirt tucked in too.

I really like these umpire pants as they are very light and help to keep you cool on those hot days. The expander waistband makes them ultra-comfortable. I just purchased my second pair. The only thing to be wary of is that due to the nature of the lightweight fabric, they are prone to get marked up or very small tears in them if they get hit with a hard shot on your shin guards if the fabric gets pinched on an edge of your shin guards. The marks are not overly noticeable but be aware if you are very sensitive about your "look".

Great umpire pants that are extremely comfortable. Very lightweight and moisture-wicking in warm weather. I like the expander waistband because it gives you some breathing room at the waist like a pair of basketball shorts. Great for working the plate. They fit over the shin guards with plenty of room to spare for mobility. Bought a second pair recently as these are the only umpire pants I'll ever wear behind the plate. Definitely worth the money!

Received the umpire pants and had them heeled. Wore them and they fit great. Plenty of room for gear and looks great. The fit is amazing and very comfortable.

I had ordered and worn the "non-expanding waistband" version previously. Cool, crisp, professional. I just wore the "expanding" version for the first time. Suffering from buyer's remorse for not buying them before. Both other umpires and coaches noticed. Survived heat index of more than 100 degrees in Kansas!!

Comfortable fit and a great look.

Comfortable and great looking. They move with you. Very durable too.

Does anyone else find these pants impossible to get the wrinkles out? I will wash and immediately throw in the dryer and still comes out a wrinkled mess.

If you wanna know what ultimate comfort is, get these pants. The plate pants are the best I've ever worn. They provide maximum comfort and flexibility while working behind the plate. The spandex stretches when you crouch preventing the dreaded "ride up". A must add to your umpire bag.

A short stocky guy, I've always had trouble finding plate pants that fit right. Not anymore. These pants are fantastic. Flexible, breathable and comfortable. On those cold days, there's plenty of room to wear long Johns.

I love these umpire pants! They are flexible which allows me to move in any direction, easy to clean and maintain too. They hold their color and look sharp. My third pair!

I love the look and feel of these pants, but I've noticed that they don't wear well in the places that they rub against my shin guards. The material has started to get bumpy and I don't know how long it will be before it starts to show and I won't want to wear them anymore.

I got these pants after hearing from another umpire about them. They fit true to size. I really like the expandable waist. I worked a weekend tournament this past weekend in Central N.C. and these pants are much lighter and cooler than my old Poly-Wool pair. They are extremely flexible and never bunched up. If you don't own a pair of these, I would highly suggest spending the money and get a pair or 2.

Love these umpire pants! I own other pants from Smitty and have always liked their products but these pants are a game changer. Comfortable and look good.

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 umpire pants are amazing. I went to a San Jose Giants game and of course paid more attention to the umpires than I did the game and I actually look as good in these pants as the Minor League umpires do. They fit absolutely perfectly and the color and texture give me that professional look I desire. Best umpire pants ever. If you umpire and you don't have these pants, you don't look as good as you should. The waist, the feel, and color make any umpire look and feel like the "Pro" you are. Can I give them more than a 5 star rating?

Awesome fit, and material looks more professional than standard material, expandable waist does the trick for more versatility.

Love how flexible and breathable these pants are. Definitely the best pair I own.

The poly spandex feels a lot softer and smoother than the poly cotton.

Great umpire pants, look sharp and much cooler than other styles. Worth every penny.

Really comfortable and plenty of room for shin guards.

Love the poly spandex! Just got these with the expander waistband for the plate, can't wait to get them on the field this spring!

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

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.

I've been wearing the old poly wool pants with expander waist band for 3 years and they have done the job. I bought these umpire pants a few weeks ago and I've called a full day in them. They're by far the best umpire plate pants available. They look great and they move with you when squatting. They don't ride. Great pants!!

Best umpire pants available. In my opinion you can't beat the look or comfort.
