Smitty Performance 4-Way Stretch Tapered Fit Flat Front Referee Pants with Slash Pockets

I purchased two pairs of these pants. They fit just a little tighter than my similar Smitty pants. I wear a 36. Also, they fit a little tighter in the upper thigh than my other pair of S281-PL-36 Smitty Performance 4-way stretch athletic fit pleated referee pants with slash pockets. I think I prefer the pleated over these, but they'll work.

Under Armour V2 ColdGear Infrared Field Gloves

Fit well, I just wish I was able to work my phone and smartwatch with the gloves. I officiate soccer and use my smart watch for time, score, and cards. For football, they work great.
