Anyone have and use the Officials Locker Room?

Any feedback

Looks like a good thing to use in the parking lot for H.S., LL, Travel Ball.

Been thinking about it for awhile and don't know anyone who has one and have not seen one.

I have used it a handful of times, including one situation where it was unavoidable. I usually have a extra long T-shirt for changing into my jock and tights in a public setting. I'm never really exposed that way. But sometimes, it's a very public setting and the easy-to-use OLR is the ticket.

I have a friend who's a kite-surfer and he uses one constantly changing into and out of his wet suit on the coast highway.

Thanks

I am convinced.

Since I had to order a pair of Heather Grey pants (Seems like a lot of partners for youth games lately don't have Charcoal Grey) :bang:, and Ump-Attire not having the Smitty Flex Waist in my size or the OLR...the order went to Gerry Davis.

Semper, you could have also gotten it from Hoings (and saved on the shipping). Also the creator of the OLR is located in Orange County... he even posts on here some times.

i need to get one of those things. here in my town we have this one high school that has the varsity baseball field directly across the street from a residential area and it never fails that this one older gentelmen that lives across from the field and down a bit ( right wear we umpires usually park ) will call the police on us for changing cloths. now before anyone says just park somewhere else, parking is very limited and the police never give us any problems. so, just once I would love to park right in front of his house, break out the olr and wave at him while changing. I guess its the small victories in life that make us smile.

Chris called me the next morning.

He was able to get my number from ArbiterSports since we are in the same Association.

Had to order pants anyway so shipping was just about the same.

I could drive to Honig's to get it also, but the gas and time would be more than shipping and there was no hurry.

UPS will deliver it Monday

Buddy, you HAVE to do this!!

Just your description is hilariously funny to imagine. It would be worth the price to use it that one time. Keep us posted. :cheers:

I looked in to the official's locker room last year and almost bought it. I happened to be on The Sportsman's Guide website and in their camping section they had a portable shower. Same exact thing as the OLR but a little taller and wider (Thank God!). Still folds up into that circular carry bag also like the OLR at a cheaper price. It comes in black and other colors too. Check it out.

UPS delivered mine a hour ago.

Popped it open and am very happy with it.

Plenty tall and wide enough for my 5'9" 165 frame :)

Just can not figure out how to fold it back up to get it into the case again. Daha

That will be resolved tonight as Chris will show me at our HS Assoc meeting.

I am sure it will come in handy as now I don't have to hide in the dark corners of parking lots or trying to get dressed on a street when there is no parking.

Its good to have the creator of the product at hand.

Oh and ask him about his Sampson Universy-Cal Baptist 1:47 plate job today.

The way I see it Semper, they can either build us a changeroom or put up with us.

But then again, I have a bit easier in my youthful age - apparently at a game last year, a group of player's girlfriends thought I was cute. :)

Trust me, noone wants to see a middle-aged guy (that's "dinosaur" to you) stripping off a wet T-shirt and standing around with his privates and corporals hanging out. :bang:

There was a guy in my first HS unit in Los Angeles that would strip down to his b-day suit. The man had to be almost 60 last time I worked with him. I thought it was just kind of an inside joke until I worked a summer ball game with him and there he was... in the buff! I could not believe it!:)
