Great UMPLIFE mask harness. I replaced the original harness on my mask when I purchased it with this and have no regrets!! Great fit and feel. It really makes the mask look sharp!

New Balance V3 Black & White Mid-Cut Umpire Base Shoes

Great shoe at a great price point. I have worn these shoes for three seasons now. I replace them each year because I like to have new gear each season, but these shoes will hold up for multiple seasons with proper care.

Smitty Performance Poly Spandex Medium Grey Plate Umpire Pants

These pants fit your waste size, but otherwise are HUGE in the groin/thigh area to the point that they sag/droop and do not present the professional look that I would like. They wash well, are easily hemmed, and have good color, but I simply do not like the way they are so loosely fitting and sagging in the groin area. I would not recommend them to a size 32 inch waist person in the 155 lb range.
