How did the new CP feel, Rolo? I'm ordering mine tomorrow! What size did you go with?

What about the Blu Coral travel wipes? Anybody locating any of those? I can't find them at any of the auto parts stores. Finn, where do you buy yours?

I agree with Finn, here. Wore the pro combat fitted yesterday for the first time in a scrimmage where the temps were in the high 30's and was pleased with the performance! I had also picked it up at academy last weekend for the 24.99.

I have a set of those All Stars in my garage that have never been used if you are interested at a decent price. Bought them last year but they did not fit me well at all and they are taking up space.

Wow, I had anticipated the contents to be extraordinary but in no way could I have prepared myself for THAT list. Anyway, thanks for sharing - much appreciated.

Didn't 'need' them but bought them, too! My NB 450's are still in decent shape but have been looking at these Reeboks and hoping I could find a good deal. Only concern I have is that they are the lows and I am used to the NB ankle support.

By the way, I bought the Conair EZ Steamer this afternoon and tried it out on a new cap and it creased it up nicely. I found the steamer at K-Mart for 19.99 but had a $10 gift card that I used so it was a very good price and would highly recommend the product.

Ok, interested to find out what you carry in the supply bucket. Thanks.

I mentioned this in another thread but decided to devote a specific thread to this topic. I know Finnerty has mentioned his steamer but has anyone else used one in caring for umpire gear and in what ways? Also, Finn, would you recommend the Steam Buddy and could you describe its uses? i know you've mentioned poly-wool care and I believe you even talked about cap creasing with it. Any tips and advice would be appreciated.

don't be hiding online deals from the rest of the bretheren, ok ?!? PLEASE ?! Actually, not an online deal. I just wanted to ask Finn's opinion on his steamer that he talks about and didn't feel I should devote an entire thread to that! Anyway, it's out there now so if anyone wants to chime in on a good steamer recommendation that's easy on the budget and would be used for umpire gear are only, fire away.

Finn, I sent you a PM. Wanted to give you a heads up. Thanks.

I just purchased two fitted caps but they were slightly big when I tried them on but not large enough to warrant sizing down. Would love to hear suggestions on shrinking them down to fit a little more snug. Someone mentioned sewing some sort of material in the band to tighten it a bit but wasn't sure if anyone had done that here.

Nice - good for you being that close in case you need something quick, too.

Just placed my Force 3 order a few minutes ago. Thunder, what is your approximate ship time? Looking forward to putting it to work!

Sent you a PM. Thanks.

Thunder, I had the same idea except I visited Ump Attire in Louisville. I need a new CP and leg guards and wanted to check out the new All Star stuff. The staff there was great, as usual.

Separate? no ... Yes, look at the sides and the inside too.... SEE THE BOTTOM PIC, you can see the aux zippers there .... plus, ...when you flip it open, the bottom of the <acronym title='Time of pitch '>TOP</acronym> has a 'sleeve' you can see in the pic that's second from the <acronym title='Time of pitch '>TOP</acronym> Appreciate all your comments/help and I apologize but I am viewing the pics on my phone instead of my computer so I am probably not seeing them as I should. I look forward to checking them out later in better detail when I get home.

Does it have a separate shoe compartment? Any special pockets for indicators, brushes, and the like? Thanks for the pics!

I have seen pics of the Force 3 from the Evans site but would like to see some others if you don't mind, Thunder. Thanks. How is the Pro Nine with air travel? Would there be an extra charge? I believe the Force 3 is adequate for the airlines. Funny thread on the avatar - I will get one added here soon. I have browsed the boards in the past but never posted so thanks for the hospitality.

Thunder, are you happy with the Force 3? I am torn between the Pro Nine and Force. Any advice would be appreciated.
