They are better, but they also aren't authorised below step 1. I'm aware that some referees do use them at lower levels, but it makes them stand out like a sore thumb as they are the only ones on that league using them. If you look like a Premier League referee everyone will expect a Premier League standard performance and you are setting yourself up for a big fall.
Err, no they don't. There are lots of referees on this forum operating in the semi-pro game in England and I'm not aware of any of them using comms kits. At the level they are authorised to be used they are provided for free by PGMOL, so absolutely no requirement to buy them.
What are you defining as up north?
In England, as rusty says, just like vanishing spray etc they aren't allowed to be used without permission.
Well you didn't say that did you? For the avoidance for anyone from England looking, you can't use them until the level that they get provided for free, so don't waste your money.

For " help", reference, " punt our merchandise"
This also isn’t true. No such thing as semi pro here in reference to referees.
Only people I’ve seen use comms are cat 1s and some 2s.
Was on a woman’s professional game yesterday and there was no comms.
Not my stuff bro
Semi pro level of football? Of course there is West of Scotland/East of Scotland and lowland league is all semi pro, be involved in those games and you’ll see guys every week with them

I retract my punting clobber remark,
The three leagues you mention are classed as pro, not, semi pro.
Anyone actually on promoting would be fully aware of their product and market
There is a remaining EOS ' junior ' league, plus in the north.
thats all off topic though, for which I apologise
Hence why I said in reference to referees.Semi pro level of football? Of course there is West of Scotland/East of Scotland and lowland league is all semi pro, be involved in those games and you’ll see guys every week with them
Only 1 of the 5 WOS leagues use assistants and comms aren’t always used, having worked with referees who do these games.
I never said they are “always used” mate, I said you will see guys with them every week in the west of Scotland prem! Not every ref
You’ve ran my line as well Degs so you know the script with comms
Did we use comms?

Ref store?? Are the comms kits also coming from Turkey, if so I wouldn’t be rushing to order them!
I have some Ervocom flags which are excellent.
Only issue I have is that the strap leaves a nasty rash mark afterwards. If I tighten it is sore if I loosen it comes loose.
Tried tubogrips which are too tight.
I think I need to do some experimenting.
Any ideas folks? Have a macron undershirt - only issue is that the pouches are quite flimsy.
