They do not. (99% sure) Windpact can be used in basically any form factor with an open cell foam. They're just specifically designed for the Evoshield which as pointed out may not be the best option for a specific frame.

God forbid they have any operational expenses, they're already running at a loss at those prices. /s I'm sure @Razzer will take care of this real quick with a DMCA takedown notice.

Sorry - At the start of the sale it was very overstock and now it is not overstock at all! If you want to grab a few PM me and I'll sort it on my end for you.

Yeah get your favorite navy shirts while you can!

Don't tempt me. Considering many association handbooks just say "Navy blue" shirt, I cannot see any reason why someone wouldn't wear a navy shirt outside of the "traditional" style.

A little heft and increased durability are indeed the reasons. There were concerns about abrasions and snagging with leg guards and the panel was added to increase the durability. We have people who "like" one of our series of pants but wont wear them or their coordinator wont let them because they simply do not exactly match Smitty's shade. This seems to come primarily from the upper levels of amateur play.

It is real, they are one of the three approved TASO vendors. Besides that, I cannot comment as I have not directly worked with them in any fashion.

No. To the best of my knowledge Dominican Republic and Honduras are the only two locations those pants were made because it is tariff free.

Fechheimer products were manufactured in the Dominican Republic. However, we no longer work with other brands for their manufacturing resource and do not have any ongoing relationship with Fechheimer.

@The Man in Blue quick photo to try and most accurately show the color. As with all lighting conditions, they will appear lighter sun light. Lighting in photo was not ideal, lower portion is much darker which is not accurate, look at middle up. Our pant color is lighter than Smitty though, always has been so this doesn't match the "NCAA" shade.

We don't carry them so I have no idea on when those are made available or released to retailers but just wanted to pass on that it looks like it is still being made available to those who wish to carry it.

Based on a recent memo I received from Wilson, it doesn't look like this is discontinued. Just looks like a specialty product with limited releases along with a few other styles. "Standard dyna-lite steel frame/mask in pink, and the pads would be leather inner and pink PU leather outer"

This would be the cheapest and easiest option as everyone else said. Find some pink polyester mesh, take off the old cover, and sew.

Yes, it is. The wider belt loop is used for a few reasons. It provides extra support to the waistband, it mitigates your belt from shifting, is more durable and was a also aesthetics choice. The current branding embellishment will get an upgrade, be more blended and be placed on the belt loop. That also serves some practical functionality but I believe was largely a design choice. You either love it or hate it.
