RAWLINGS Pantalon de Baseball YBP31MR pour Jeunes Coupe décontractée

The sun slowly made its descent towards its resting place over Anaheim Hills little league, A chilly southern California breeze blew in dropping the game night temperature to a crisp 65 degrees, thank King Boers Beard for Uggs or many a proud mom would have perished in such conditions.The magic hour had arrived, my son.....my first born, odin son, adorned in his new Rawlings Youth Relaxed Fit YBP31MR Baseball pant, stood majestically beside the plate. The atmosphere was thick with fear, the kind of fear you could taste. The king to be swung Mjolnir back and forth, mocking ney Daring! his would be foe to send an honest fast ball. The atmosphere grew quiet and the crowd drew near, the catcher nervously shuffled his position and extended his glove. "What if Mjolnir where to accidentally catch my glove on the back swing" he thought, " I would surely lose a limb" he continued in his mind, but he composed himself and steadied his mind.With the ferocity of a thousand super novas the ball was unleashed, blazing towards home plate and almost searing the crisp evening air as the 35 mph fastball carved its way to certain victory........ But No!!!!.... Mjolnir connects!!!!!!.... simultaneously creating a rift in the space time continuum, thunder, dust, flashes of lighting so powerful people go blind, For a brief moment Star trek and Star wars exist on the same plain, Batman V Superman makes sense and the Green Lantern was a good movie.When the dust finally settles and all that has been laid to waste is for all to see, My son, my first born .... Odin son! proudly standing in his Rawlings Youth Relaxed Fit YBP31MR baseball pant having claimed the mighty kingdom of 1st base, with a pretty solid in field single.- These pants are currently available for public view in the Azgardian Armory, tickets available on Ticket master or Amazon.com/spacetours, limited availability only two per person, parking is $2300 space bucks cash only, no Ice Giants please.....

I purchased the size Youth Medium in the 'blue grey' color for my son when he was 8 1/2 yrs. old back in April, he is now 9 1/2 yrs. old and they still fit pretty good. He wanted to wear the more modern style baseball pants that fit more like regular pants and without the elastic ankles, and these are now his favorite. I measured his waist before purchasing and it was 34 in. then and he always wears a baseball belt with them, so if they are at all loose The belt helps keep them up. The length was a bit long but his cleats helped keep them from touching the ground. They are roomy without being overly baggy on him, and he's a skinny beanpole of a kid. He wore them for a full spring season and again for fall season and they held up to the typical use & abuse kids put them through out on the field, just a little bit of scuffing of the fabric on the knee areas but no rips or holes in them yet, plus I washed them after each game and practice two to three times a week during seasons. I used Shout brand stain spray to remove field dirt and grass stains each time and it got most of the stains out pretty well, but there's always some faint discoloration left behind from the field dirt and that's to be expected, that stuff stains everything! I definitely recommend these pants and will be purchasing them again when he needs a new pair.

Let me start by disclosing that my entire travel team plays in these pants. We purchased (mostly directly from Rawlings, but a few "completers" from Amazon) 48 pairs and have been playing/practicing in them for over a month. We don't have a full-season on them yet, but have some good data!So... If you're looking for light weight pants that seem as though they will survive a long season (unless you have a vigorous slider), these pants might be for you. The black, although not popular with traditionalists, is awesome from a washing perspective and I think looks great on the field, too. Orange knees and hips on grays and whites looks sloppy and makes teams look disheveled. The Rawlings YPB31MR pants have a somewhat traditional cut from hip to knee with a little room (slightly baggy) to move, but are pretty narrow from the knee down. They are nicely made and pre-hemmed. The bottom hem is tight which is good since they are pre-hemmed. Shorter, uhhh... wider players won't have to hem them or have them hanging over their cleat heels as they stumble and tumble their way to 1B! For perhaps some helpful fit reference:YL is perfect for a 5'-1", 94 pound 10 year-old boy with a +/-25" waist and long legsYXL is perfect for a 5-4", 108 pound 11 year-old with a 26" waist and VERY long legs.If your player slides hard, you will burn these pants up since they are light-weight BY DESIGN. If your player slides hard or plays on gravel lots get the Mizuno's with the on-board sliding girdle/padding, but for warmer climates (or in our case- HOT, mid-Atlantic games), I LOVE the lightweight fabric. Weigh the trade-offs depending on playing style and climate.NOTE: I do not like the adult version of these pants. Like most men's baseball pants, the waistband to crotch height is about 4 feet! Your options are to take the field like Steve Erkel with your belt in your armpits or like MC Hammer with crotch at your knees. Your choice, but neither works. I don't care how well you move- baseball is NOT hammer time! Uh oh! Uh oh! Uhhhh oh!

This is the 4th pair of Rawlings Youth baseball pants that I've gotten this year but the first with the unfinished bottom. I like the fit of the small in the other kind. But my son wanted the loose bottom for All-Stars because that style is more popular. I ordered this one in the small as well (he wears a size 6 or 7 slim in pants) but they are really too big. I would send them back and swap but I don't have time so he is going to wear them with a tight belt. I would recommend going down a size if your child is very thin like mine. My son is also very tall for his age but we have plenty of length (not really the case in the fitted bottom leg style) so I should have went with the X-Small. I'm just very surprised in the differnces between the fitted and loose leg Rawlings pants.

My 8 year old son (52" tall, 55lbs) fits these Youth Medium pants well. Wide waistband helps keep shirts tucked in. The crotch sits a little low for my taste but he didn't mind and they look nice. Wears with a belt for perfect fit. Had to hem them, but don't mind. Because of the roominess throughout, I hope to be able to just let the hem out next season, and the rest of the pant should still fit fine. I MUCH prefer the look of these pants to the typical little league knicker style, too. Now that their games are more physical (sliding and diving) I like that the skin on his legs is totally protected while wearing these. The reinforced knee is a bonus as well. And we live/play in a very HOT humid south Florida climate - these allow breathability but still stand up to abuse while not being too heavy. Bought 2 already and would purchase again.****UPDATE**** Almost a year later and these are still in great shape. My son isnow 72 pounds and 56" tall and we just took our hem out and they fit great for a 2nd season. They release stains well too - the red clay is barely noticeable after a soak and wash. Can't beat these pants!
