Got basically 3 things coming to our offerings. The shoe furthest to the left is what I am guessing is what UA shows. 1. Plate shoes in all black 2. Shoe 2nd from left 3. And below

Charlie is wearing a pretty unique combo. The lower pad is our Tango2 Universal and the upper pad is the Shear3 in the pad sock. -
Unfortunately, I am not showing any wide widths available in these.

@Marcus6 yes, Gerry Davis will be carrying them.

Getting back into it, but the products have changed so much

It’s pretty love or hate fit. Not for everyone, but a regular fit is coming. -

DerekGDS replied to sjd215's topic in Umpire Equipment
We actually have three different pant series now. The 94X is what most people reference as it is our oldest line and does use a heavier fabric. Our two newer lines, are both lighter. The Core Lightweight will probably overtake the 94X in popularity next year and is about 30% lighter then the 94X and slightly lighter then the Smitty Poly/Spandex line. This line doesn't use Spandex in the primary fabric like the rest of our line, but does have a Lycra crotch gusset for good flex in the right spots. The BFX Pro has been discussed here before and that is the most expensive pant in our line up, again newer models have the Lycra crotch gusset, its weight is between the 94X and Core Lightweight and has the best colorfastness to UV exposure. The 94X and BFX Pro are both getting refreshes in terms of cuts, features, etc. for 2027 as well. -
At this time I do not have a good idea but likely sometime between January - February '27. Similar timing to the previous.

Yes, but it will be available in another limited color scheme. This is just a render, colors may be slightly different and this is still subject to change.

Plate coat: Out West vs. Flying Cross
DerekGDS replied to TheRockawayKid's topic in Umpire Equipment
Fechheimer and it isn't even close but as MadMax said, if you want to make you're own it certainly possible and none on the market are available in a more suitable summer fabric. -
Missed this one. The newest version is designed so the G-hooks need to be tilted and then lifted to release. The original design, in some circumstances, allowed the G-hooks to come undone unintentionally during play even if the harness was snug.

New Umpire - How does this prospective equipment list look?
DerekGDS replied to certified blind's topic in Umpire Equipment
Black frames are expected back in stock around 6/6. Pretty sure the Silver frames are going on sale sometime soon. -
We suspended our plate coat program August of last year. Changes in US economic policy no longer made it viable as a made to order product. We're looking into alternatives but it isn't a top priority for us so I don't expect us to resurrect in the near term.

He's wearing the LE Orange version.

This is my biggest gripe with the original version of the DaviShins. While I don't have a simple solution, it is a big factor in the updated design we're working on.

At Face Value (Magnesium Masks & Other Things)
DerekGDS replied to MadMax's topic in Umpire Equipment
Fit for me (for the alternatives) is: Easton EvoShield Rawlings If i recall correctly EvoShield had the most vents but I think its ugly. All-Star is superior in every way besides the shape compared to all of them though.
