Official Reviews
Jim E. Las Vegas, NV |
People don’t realize how chilly it can get here in Las Vegas, especially when the wind blows in March and early April. I decided on this jacket because I can wear it on the bases AND plate, and to say it keeps me warm is an understatement. Even at 50 degrees and gusty winds, I actually sweat with this on. Though it tends to get in the way of my ball bags, it does what it’s supposed to do. Top-notch jacket!
Drew P. Woodward, OK |
Amazing jacket, bought it for a game I knew would be 30° and rainy. All I had under this was my regular umpire shirt, and I stayed warm and dry all night. Fits excellent over plate gear as well. I bought the softball version the day after because I loved it so much.
Anthony A. Charlottesville, VA |
Really warm in the chilly Virginia evenings.
Pj W. Asheboro, NC |
Best choice I have made for a jacket since the early season starts in February. Keeps the wind off you and keeps you warm. Fits nicely with plate gear and for working in the field.
Colby M. Glendale, AZ |
Very comfortable and warm. Works well for those cooler nights on the bases. It’s a little bulky for plate (in my opinion). Others might find it works fine for that position.
Richard O. Hammond, IN |
Great jacket for those cooler days and nights.
William T. Minnesota |
Shipped promptly and arrived on schedule. The jacket is amazing at keeping your torso and arms warm, and has pockets to warm your hands between innings. Jacket is also water-resistant, perfect for those early spring games when the weather is cold and rainy.
Alex R. Chino, CA |
Got the jacket and liked how warm it keeps me during the cold weather.
Stan J. Hoxie, AR |
I ordered this fleece coat and when I got it, I used it in my next game and it was a lifesaver. I'm glad I ordered it and I'm glad I order my gear from Ump Attire. The best store for umpires and the best gear around.
Dean T. McKinleyville, CA |
Just used this jacket in a half inning of 45 degree rainy/sleety mix. Kept me warm and dry. Water beads up and rolls right off. Great jacket for that late winter, early spring baseball.
Robert M. Portland, OR |
This is a state-of-the-art cold-weather jacket and with a surprisingly reasonable price. I have one in a Large size that is perfect for the bases. I got the XL for the plate, and it was a bit larger than I expected and needed. I had upgraded from a very old Honigs XL that fit perfectly for the plate but had badly faded (which was pointed out by a partner, and I realized it didn’t look very sharp anymore). I’m 220 lbs and 5’11”. I’ll definitely wear it, and will get used to the fit. With Ump-Attire’s great Return Policy, I’d recommend getting two sizes if you’re unsure and try them both on to see what works best. Ump-Attire’s customer service has been exceptional.

My favorite jacket. Great quality.
Chad H. Jacksonville, AL |
Great jacket and keeps me warm while working out in the cold weather!
Lisa L. Clermont, FL |
Very warm and a nice jacket.
Rafael L. El Paso, TX |
The Smitty Fleece Lined Umpire Jacket is of excellent quality and a very good option for this winter for not being cold on the pitch and is at an excellent price; highly recommended.
Patrick M. Gothenburg, NE |
Very warm jacket. Very comfortable and fits over all of your gear.
James D. San Lorenzo, CA |
Good cold weather jacket and water resistant for those wet games.
Nicholas F. Hoboken, NJ |
By far the best jacket for your buck $$$. Looks clean and professional yet warm for those chilly.
Alex P. Owasso, OK |
Great jacket!! Fits a little tight so go a size up if you are in between!
Richard D. Colonial Heights, VA |
With the ever changing temperature extremes in central Virginia, I tried this jacket and was thoroughly impressed. The warmest I’ve worn yet and even with regular shipping it arrived quickly.
John A. Atoka, TN |
Just bought it but it is really warm and I am so pleased with the service from the website. Great value with the quality products.
Michael B. Houston, TX |
Great jacket, but layer up underneath for weather under 45* when it's windy.
Martin D. Lubbock, TX |
Best fleece umpire jacket bang for the buck.
Andrew Arlington, VA |
Nice and warm. Perfect for working the field late into the fall!
Matt B. Newnan, GA |
Very comfortable.
Jeff K. Wilson, KS |
This is a comfortable umpire jacket. It’s also warm.
Austin S. Saint Charles, MO |
Love this umpire jacket for working out on the bases! Can get hot behind the plate, but great for rainy days during tournaments. Excellent water resistance to keep you warm and dry.
Tristan H. Belleville, IL |
This umpire jacket is wonderful. It'll keep you warm when the conditions are cooler. Looks great as well.
Terry S. Hiawatha, KS |
Very comfortable umpire jacket. Warm and sheds rain. Would definitely buy another one.
Howard G. Midvale, UT |
Super warm keeps the wind and cold out. Nice having a chest pocket. Would get another one.
Jesse E. Boise, ID |
Extremely warm and comfortable umpire jacket! Looks great and does an awesome job of blocking the wind. Runs a little big, however it gets the job done.
Kevin C. Whiteland, IN |
Great jacket; sizes run a little big. ‘L’ was a little big on me so I will be going with a ‘M’.
Robert C. Roxboro, NC |
Very good quality.
Jim M. Sparta, NJ |
Outstanding umpire jacket.
John M. Elbert, CO |
This is a must-have for officiating in colder climates like Colorado, especially when you have cold springs and cool falls. I officiate in spring, summer, and fall leagues and will use it for two of them! Top notch quality and a great price.
George W. Round Rock, TX |
Awesome umpire jacket. Wore it for my last tourney of the year here in Texas. Cool 39 degrees, kept me warm and comfortable all day long for a set of 6 games. Nothing better than a Smitty lined umpire jacket!!!
Philip B. Texas |
This jacket has a great fit and feel. I tried on without gear and it fits true to size.
Patrick C. Las Vegas, NV |
I was in desperate need of an upgrade and this came in perfect. Clean, warm, and professional looking. I would suggest this!
Marvic G. Providence, RI |
Quality product! Professional look. 100% will keep you warm! Rain slides right off, definitely recommend!
Jeffrey C. Akron, Ohio |
Professional look. Nice fit. Cozy feel that will work perfectly for sometimes chilly fall baseball in Sandusky. Too warm for summer games.
Paul A. Atlanta, GA |
This is a great quality umpire jacket. Very warm and well made. Love the insulated hand pockets and zippered outside chest pocket. Great purchase!
Chris B. Calumet City, IL |
Wore this with an Under Armour thermal-lined base layer, a cotton long sleeve shirt, and it held up well with 35 degree, 40 mph days. I find that it's more comfortable for the plate to put my umpire shirt on over, so it holds my chest protector in place better, but YMMV.
Kris J. Artesia, NM |
Very warm umpire jacket. My only complaint is that it is tough to get the collar to lay down. Overall, a great jacket.
Andrey M. Wilmington, DE |
Haven't got a chance to test this umpire jacket on the field yet, as we are playing indoors now, but hopefully, soon I can do that! It looks awesome and feels great! Maybe a little too tight for the plate work, so you may want to size up to wear above your chest protector.
Cody L. Waco, TX |
The best umpire jacket for cold weather. Very comfortable and warm. I really love the side slash pockets which was a major feature that was missing from the Majestic version.
Bill H. Wichita, KS |
Great looking jacket that keeps you warm.
Ted S. Petersburg, AK |
Great Product! Fits and functions perfectly.
Chris M. KS |
Perfect fit! Very warm! Great for the early spring and fall games.
Kris J. Moore, OK |
The best umpire jacket I've ever purchased. As a tall (6'3") ump getting one that will both cover my backside and neck has been difficult quest. This one works! While everyone else is freezing in the Oklahoma winds, I'm quite content!
Jack O. Shelby Twp., MI |
Great product. I'm usually in between medium and large. Tried both and large fit me better if that helps anyone.
Chris E. Davenport, IA |
I was very excited to order this. Spring games in the Midwest can be tough and I wanted a new style warm jacket for bases and plate. I really like the style and functionality. Pockets are small but there really shouldn't be anything in them. I always wear medium and ordered medium. Sleeves are on the short side. I'm guessing a size up would be too large. It's not terrible so I will deal with it.
Andy V. Grinnell, IA |
This umpire jacket fits great. 5'10", 225 lbs and bought an XL. I wore it initially over my plate gear and was able to move just as freely as I would without it. The next time I used it was in the field, not too baggy and very comfortable. With a cool HS Spring Baseball month, the jacket was very nice to have.
Keith A. Round Rock, TX |
Great umpire jacket. Looks great behind the plate and on the bases. Fleece lining keeps you warm on those cold early season night games. Also good to wear during football pre-game.
Dave Jackson, MS |
Very nice umpire jacket fits well and can use either on bases or with plate gear on. The only complaint I have is that the pockets are a little small for those cold nights and need to keep my hands warm.
Joseph P. Virginia Beach, VA |
As the springs aren't usually too cold here in Virginia I was holding out for this jacket. But I am sure glad I bought it. Sized well and good length. The fleece lining is perfect for those extra cold days. Pair it up with the Under Armour ColdGear Compression Long Sleeve Mock shirt and you will be nice and toasty even on the coldest of days. Lightweight and keeps you dry in the rain.
Connie F. Cleburne, TX |
We ordered an umpire jacket for my husband for those cooler nights. Unfortunately, we got it and it was too small (our fault) so we returned it and ordered one size larger. The entire process was extremely easy, quick, and efficient! Communication was continuous about what was happening and when and even with our messing up the order, the entire process took less than 10 days total. Not only was the transaction and return process simple and fast, when he finally got the jacket he was amazed. His first ball games were in 20 degree temperatures with a wind chill factor of 15 degrees and he said he stayed so nice and warm where the jacket covered him and he was all smiles! Thank you Ump-Attire.com for making my man happy with your quality!!! Highly recommend! :)
Scott M. KOKOMO, IN |
Absolutely great! I needed a new one, I had the old one that did not have pockets. Worked great in cold weather game. You got to have this!
Jeremy L. Chesapeake, Virginia |
This umpire jacket is the best on the market, when it's cold outside this jacket does it's job. You stay warm and there's a lot of room. Love it. Ump-Attire.com is awesome!!!
Thor O. Chaska, MN |
A must have piece of apparel for early season spring games or late season fall ball. Windproof and heavily insulated. The sizing runs big like a lot of umpire apparel. I'm 6'1" and 180 lbs and the size large fits me perfectly. I could easily wear it over a chest protector if I wanted to. As always the service from Ump-Attire.com was spectacular. Five stars.
Jim H. Chalfont PA |
This umpire jacket runs a little big but worth the money. Will keep you warm on the fields.
Bobby N. New Boston, Texas |
I believe it runs a bit big. Just my thought. Great to do business with Ump-Attire.com.
Chris M. ACWORTH, GA |
Fits perfectly, right size.
Andrew C. Broadway, NC |
Great jacket! I used it in winter nationals and very glad I had it! Very warm and comfortable! I highly recommend this jacket!
Gennaro M. Manalapan, NJ |
Got this at the end of the fall season and haven't had a chance to wear it yet. It seems warm and the fit is good. Can't wait to try it in the early spring.
James W. Lake Lotawana, MO |
Seems to be a quality item and keeps you warm on cold days. Sizing seems to be a bit weird. Wear a Medium. Got a medium. Would not wear a zip up behind the plate. Sleeve and body length is fine. I assume it is cut fuller around the middle for use behind the plate by those with over stuffed chest protectors or over stuffed mid-sections. Neither my chest protector or my belly need the extra room. Don't think a small would work with the arm length. I figure it will be pretty cold when wearing, so fashion can suffer a bit!
Kevin K. Sacramento |
This umpire jacket is everything I expected it to be. I am warm and the full zipper allows me to get out of it quickly if I get too warm. Quality in manufacturing and looks professional on the field. Shipped to my door with zero hassle thanks to Ump-Attire.com.
Joe M. Clifton Park, NY |
Awesome product. So glad I chose this item. You won't be disappointed.
Paul McKeen Stoughton, MA |
This is the second umpire jacket I have purchased this season. Perfect fit for bases and plate. Super warm for early season New England weather.
Wade S. Beatrice, NE |
With the normal cold and wet Spring in Nebraska, this jacket has been one of my best investments for umpire gear. I definitely keep warm.
Steve C. Highlands Ranch, CO |
I moved to Colorado from Florida and never needed a jacket. This one is GREAT!
Chris S. Sikeston, 0 |
This umpire jacket is the warmest I have ever worn. Would recommend for anyone needing a jacket to keep you warm and dry!
Peter C. Albuquerque, NM |
I've had this umpire coat now for the 2nd year and even with cold gear and sweatshirts underneath, I can still put on and wear my Platinum chest protector and low and behold, I'm still warm. The wind, rain and sand from the sandstorm just slide right off. The pockets are NOT lined in plastic, but warm microfiber material which REALLY helps. I love it and have no regrets. Other than the top of the zipper scratches my neck, but I'm WARM. :)
Rich Y. Chester County, PA |
Searched a while for the right umpire jacket and thought long about sizing. This jacket is perfect. Did my first game 45 degrees, in the shade. Wore this with a long sleeve compression shirt in between this and my chest protector. Looks good, plenty of movement. Great chest pocket. I was worried about sizing. Deciding between M and L - went with L and it is fine. I am 5'11" 180lbs. Medium would have worked but likely less movement.
Toby Moore Bellingham, WA |
Love, love, love this coat!!!! It is awesome. Super comfortable, warm, fits great over my gear or without my gear, and just makes me feel like the man! Great price too. Best part of my whole buying experience!
Cameron W. Lexington, KY |
Finally got my own Jacket. Fits great and with this cold weather it certainly coming in handy on the diamond. Even had my own American Flag added to it!!
David L. McKinney, TX |
Amazing umpire jacket. I have 2 and bought this one for my son so he would have something "more professional" to wear during his games. Told me he wished he had had this the last couple of years.
Walter R. Staten Island, NY |
Warmest umpire coat out there! I use it for both plate and base. With the cold spring we have in the northeast this is a must have item!!
Jason H. Biloxi, MS |
Great product. It's flexible and moves with your body. Lightweight but warm. Soft interior. With the humidity down here on the gulf coast, our wet 40 degree weather feels like 30 degrees in most other areas. It's not that cold when it comes to the temperature. The humidity makes it feel like it's that deep down in the bone cold. This jacket does the trick. I have the half zip pullover also. This full-zip jacket I use on the colder nights on the bases. Seems like there is plenty of room for your gear underneath if you wanted to wear it behind the plate. It might get too warm for you back there.
Jarrod C. Aiken, SC |
Now, this is a jacket. Very beautiful. It gets the job done keeping me warm and cozy on those cold days. Came right on time to wear to the baseball umpire's camp/field clinic.
Joe K. Front Royal, VA |
Perfect fit - warm - comfortable and fits nicely over equipment. Money well spent for this umpire jacket.
Dale K. North Wilkesboro, NC |
Money well spent, it's very warm, I can't wear it on the plate (too Hot). Majestic umpire jacket is better made but more expensive.
