The Smitty Performance Poly Spandex pants are great for long games. The expander waistband is a nice feature that allows for better movement. My only complaint is that they wrinkle slightly after washing.

Good quality pants overall. The expander waistband is a nice touch, but I found the material to be a bit heavy for summer games. Still, a solid choice for umpires.

These pants are a solid choice for any umpire. The expander waistband is a great feature, and the poly spandex material is both durable and comfortable. The only downside is the price, but you get what you pay for.
