After trying what we think may be all of the pants out there for our Grandaughter who plays travel softball we think these are the best. These pants have reinforcements in the right places and wash just great. In the white version they are the only pant that we can actually get the orange clay out completely without destroying the pant. These cost a little more than most but they are well worth the price and I hope that Mizuno has no intention of changing them any time soon.
