Best Golf Pants

Comfort is critical for peak performance on the course, and finding the right golf pants are an integral part of that. As more and more brands recognised this over the years, the golf pant has seen huge innovation take place whether it be in terms of design, features, technology, quality or fit.

Now, there is simply no excuse for wearing a pair of pants on the golf course that compromises your game.

Thankfully for the golfing world, much like the best golf tops, best golf polos, and every other piece of golf apparel you can think of, the golf pant has now evolved into something much more in keeping with other areas of fashion, without compromising on functionality.

Bearing that in mind, below we have taken a look at some of the best golf pants.

Also take a look at some of the best golf shorts too.

From a functional stand point, the new Micro Stretch fabrication gives the pants a high degree of stretch, breathability, comfort and a lightweight feel.

The invisible DWR coating means that rain will bead off the fabric and dry quickly, while the different colours provide a good selection of choice.

Under Armour 5-Pocket Pants

Sizes: 30-42
Colours: 5

Next up in our list are the 5-Pocket pants from Under Armour.

Mobility and flexibility are unrestricted largely thanks to three features; the high performance fabric blend of polyester and elastane, the stretch waistband, abd a streamlined fit to reduce drag.

Going back to the fabric, it is soft and wrinkle-resistant, giving a smart and stylish look. It is also designed to wick sweat away.

Finally we should also mention the fit because it was spot on. We thought they were just tight enough around the legs to not flap around, but equally not so tight that it feels like you’re playing in skinny jeans!

Fit around the waist was ideal and the waistband offers plenty of forgiveness. The inside of the waistband also features a silicone gripper tape to keep the shirt tucked in which is a nice added feature.
