My son wears this item for baseball games. I as a parent loves the way the pants are made. They are made with thick material and I am so glad for that, cause my son does ALOT of sliding. If I would have bought him any other kind, probably within 2 weeks, his pants would have had holes in them. I bought 2 pairs from yall last year and they have lasted him the whole season last year.. He would have worn them again this year, but he hit a growth spurt, so had to get a bigger size...!
