Keeps balls dry and is good for tournaments.

This is my second set of Navy Dry-lo ball bags. I don’t like them as much as the ones I bought a few years ago. Really stiff and the Navy fabric is much lighter in color compared to the old ones.

Nice bags but a little too stiff.

Good for heavy sweaters in the summer. If you like to have more than 2 balls in each bag these umpire ball bags are not for you. Very tight, I wish they made them with an expansion or wider.

Very nice ball bags, they fit well and have enough space for balls and plate brush.

Great product and looks good. I would recommend to take them out and to stretch the pockets before a live game, pockets are tight with 3 baseballs on the inside. But all in all, great product.

If I could give 6 stars I would. No useless inside pockets and a nice stiff back and plenty of room for extra baseballs and a large opening for my big hands.

I like these ball bags the most of all that are available. I like the stiff back and the amount they hold. Cold wash and air dry and they look good as new.

I use these umpire ball bags for softball and they seem to work better than the softer materials. I like not having those inside small pockets that I never use anyway. They are a bit stiff and tend not to rest as flat at my side as the other type do but it's not a real complaint. I would recommend them.

Interestingly enough, it's a little bit challenging to find an umpire ball bag without the pockets. I always use 2 and carry balls in one and just my indicator and brush in the other so having no pockets is a plus. Also, the material is good, so I don't think I will need to look for more ball bags for another 10+ years!

I was not expecting it to be so stiff. I actually love the construction of it and durability. Seems to not bunch up like softer umpire ball bags. I also bought one with inside pockets. Both are great and I think I have found my new style of bag until another better one ever comes around.

Honestly probably one of the best umpire ball bags I've ever used!! I was able to fit eight baseballs in there! It's very sturdy and it's not made from cheap materials. If you're looking for a good bag this is the one to go with!

Great quality, over-sized umpire ball bag that easily fits six baseballs. This is my second pair of Force3s, the first had the pockets, which in reality I never used they just got in the way. They're more expensive than most ball bags but totally worth it.

These umpire bags definitely do what they say they do as far as helping damp balls dry, so no problem there. But getting balls in and out of them can be tricky as the opening is tight and the inside material can grab. Enough of a problem for me that might not be for others, so I'm changing bags.

I do like how they are pocketless, but I do not like how the opening is not that big. I like the Smitty ball bag because it has a wider opening and makes balls more accessible. This one will do though!

I like the bags as they are exactly as advertised...pocketless! Balls are easily and quickly accessed. The idea behind inside pockets in bags makes sense, but in practicality, they are nothing but a nuisance. It would take me two hands to try to pry whatever other than baseballs I had in the bags out of them! Problem solved with these bags! Only suggestion: make them in charcoal grey as I like matching slacks and bags.

Everything you could ask for in a ball bag.

These ball bags are fantastic. I prefer them over the Force3 with bags, because it is easier to get baseballs out.

Good construction and appreciate the moisture proof material. My only issue is, if you have larger than typical hands or are wearing gloves due to weather conditions, the opening is a bit tight, making it difficult to remove a ball once held on hand like trapping a monkey!

Great bag. Easy to get baseballs in and out of. That's all I ask for!

These umpire ball bags are exactly what I needed. The no pockets makes it easier to get your hand in and out to grab the baseball. Plenty of room for 3+ baseballs and/or any accessories you want to keep in the bags.

Absolutely love the F3 Dry Lo bags without the inside pockets - these are my new go to ball bags - been using the Dry Lo with pockets but like these better!

Great umpire ball bags.

The Dry-Lo ball bags without the pockets are amazing. I'm very impressed with the amount of room you have for baseballs and how the baseballs remain dry when sweating and raining. I have read a number of reviews from other umpires about the opening to retrieve the balls and I have not had any issues with this situation. Great product!!

I love this bag because I never used the pockets inside the ball bag anyways. It always seemed like they got in the way; now I don't have to worry about that anymore.

So far, so good. I really like not having to worry about getting my fingers tangled in the pockets. Good room inside the bags.
