Best Golf Pants 2026

Sizes: 28-44
Colors: 5

+ Excellent freedom of movement
+ Versatile, casual style
- Not the warmest

Once wearing the Adidas Ultimate365 5-Pocket Pants you'll find the stretchy twill fabric moves with you, offering unrestricted mobility for every swing and step. The five-pocket design provides a familiar, casual look that’s smart enough for the clubhouse and practical enough for everyday wear.

Made with a significant commitment to recycled and renewable materials, these pants are just one of the sustainable choices offered by Adidas. They feel lightweight and breathable, making them comfortable for warmer days but they may have your legs feeling chilly on the course during winter months. The regular fit and mid-rise offer a balanced silhouette which we preferred over a slim-fit look. While versatile, those seeking very heavy-duty winter trousers will be better looking elsewhere, but for all-around performance and style, these pants are a solid choice for the modern golfer.

+ Premium model that performed
+ Color choice
- Pockets could have been bigger

A brand you would've seen worn by the likes of Justin Rose in the past, Bonobos is a company that often makes shirts which stand out from the crowd. However, this is not the case with these classic, traditional looking pants which are available in nine subtle colors.

Constructed from a very soft and comfortable fabric, they allow for great freedom of movement and the fabric also provides UV resistance that allows them to be worn in hot conditions. What's more, they have moisture-wicking and quick drying properties, if you do get caught in an unexpected shower. The button closure is a nice design feature and I also liked the pattern stitching on the inside, two design features which make these Bonobos pants one of our absolute favorites currently on the market.

+ Softshell fabric is warm and protective
+ WindCell technology provides element protection
- Not fully waterproof for heavy rain

The Puma Cypress Softshell pants are a top-tier choice for cold and damp days on the course throughout the winter. I found the softshell material to be the perfect combination of warmth and protection; it's comfortable and quiet, not stiff or noisy like some waterproofs, and is perfect for those cooler days on the course where staying warm is extremely important.

These pants feature some really cool technology, which was more than capable of handling a light shower and kept me completely dry, while the dryCELL tech on the inside wicked any moisture, keeping me dry and comfortable. The performance fit is excellent, providing warmth without the baggy, oversized feel of traditional rain pants, offering a far more fitted and modern look. They're a fantastic, warm, and weather-resistant pair of pants for the golfer who is happy to brave the cooler weather.

+ Perfect fit
+ Can easily be worn off the golf course
- Straight leg finish not for all

The G FORE Tour 5 Pocket 4-Way Stretch Straight Leg Trouser is easily among the very best golf pants you can buy. They have been designed with input from professional golfers to be lightweight, stretchy, breathable and moisture-wicking. You’ll get a lovely tailored, straight-leg fit and five pockets including two stitched-on at the back which makes them blend in for everyday wear.

You can wear them almost anywhere so you’re getting good value for money with these premium trousers. In terms of colors, there are five good, basic options to choose from.

There really isn’t much to say about these other than they’re absolutely excellent. They are expensive but certainly good value for money with how much wear they will inevitably get.

+ Lightweight and comfortable
+ Premium looks and colors
- Price might be only stumbling block

Without doubt my favorite pair of golf pants right now are the eb66 Performance Pants from Peter Millar. As you would expect from the brand, they offer premium performance which does mean they come with a premium price, but given my experience of testing them, they are definitely worth it.

The fabric is 100% polyester and feels comfortable against the skin, whilst the two-way stretch delivered when playing shots, moving around and getting into different stances on the course. They feel extremely well-made and the little details like the five pockets and inner stitching, elevating the pants further. Finally they look fantastic everywhere, come in loads of colors, and have a classic look and fit which many golfers will enjoy. A five-star pair of pants.

+ On/off course use
+ Super comfortable
- Tapered fit not for all

The Jupiter 5 pocket pants might have just become my new favorites on the market, competing heavily with the Peter Millar eb66, and the Bonobos Performance pants. Why? Well first I think the versatility here is clear to see as these pants can be used everywhere, I know this because I have done so. I tested the Iron finish but there are four other colors each of which look great in different situations and as part of various outfits. Comfort is also king when it comes to golf pants and the Jupiter’s delivered here.

The Japanese fabric blend gives a wide range of motion and a lightweight feel, to the point where I found them comfortable despite wearing them all day on more than one occasion. Admittedly the tapered fit might not be for all but I like this kind of aesthetic, and I also liked three subtle branding throughout. There is no shouting about Sun Day Red, just subtle, high-quality performance.

+ Lightweight fabric
+ Classic chino styling
- Not as flexible as others

The Garvey Pant offers a lightweight feel and solid amount of stretch thanks to its performance woven fabric, engineered for exceptional comfort and freedom. While these pants aren’t as stretchy as others on the market they provide enough mobility for both on course and off the course wear.

While these pants are breathable and feature moisture-wicking properties, they are designed for versatile performance rather than providing significant warmth in cold conditions, meaning they are on the thin side of pants and are ideal for warmer conditions.

The tailored fit with moderately tapered leg, ensures a sharp, modern-classic look, allowing them to transition effortlessly from the golf course to the clubhouse, or even into a smart-casual setting. Key functional details include classic chino styling and a practical non-slip interior waistband lining.

+ Well tailored slim fit
+ Strong collection of neutral colors
- Golfers with large legs might find them a touch tight

The Nike Golf Tour Repel Slim Fit Chino Trousers offer a modern, slim fit for the stylish golfer. Constructed with lightweight and comfortable Nike Dri-FIT fabric, these trousers ensure superior breathability and moisture management, keeping you dry and comfortable on the course. The water-repellent finish adds practicality, while the subtle herringbone fabric provides a touch of sophistication.

Featuring two front pockets and two rear pockets these trousers blend functionality with style. The branded gripper tape waistband also ensures a secure fit for your polo to prevent untucking, and the Nike Swoosh on the back right pocket adds a subtle touch of branding for the big Nike fan. The slim fit nature of these trousers does mean that golfers with slightly wider legs may find them a touch tight.

+ True all-season, all-weather design
+ UA Storm tech repels water effectively
- Tapered fit isn't for everyone

The UA Drive Pro All-Weather Pants are a genuine all-rounder and a brilliant solution for anyone who plays golf in variable weather conditions. These are the first all-weather pants I've worn that truly feel light enough for a mild day but protective enough for a cool, damp one, not trapping too much heat, yet warm enough when needed. The UA Storm technology is excellent, making rain bead off, and the fabric is breathable, so I never overheated when walking on the golf course.

The 4-way stretch is good and moves well with you, and I liked the small details like the stretch-engineered waistband, which has an internal grip to keep your shirt tucked in, even when bending down to read putts. The tapered fit is modern and smart, although I would say this does restrict a little movement and would like to see the ankle area a touch looser.

+ Excellent stretch
+ Slimmer fit by ankles
- Best for athletic fit

Based on the brand’s best-selling Fusionn shorts, I had high hopes for the Knit Performance Pants from Johnnie-O. Whilst I will admit right away that they will best suit those with an athletic build, and those that prefer a slimmer fit down by the ankles, I think the unique design should definitely be one to consider if you are in the market for a new pair of golf pants.

The uniqueness comes from the pull-on style, with the button by the waistband being purely cosmetic really. Given this design the pants stretch beautifully and have an almost tailored feel, especially around the waistband which doesn’t feel restrictive at all. The comfort was immediately noticeably when putting these pants on and a couple of other elements I liked were the magnetic pocket closures, and you can get these in three neutral, versatile colors.

+ Lovely tailored fit
+ Versatile enough to wear on and off the course
- Price could be a stumbling block

Pants are a weird one in the sense they aren’t maybe as exciting as a new pullover, ¼ zip or golf hoodie. I wasn’t overly excited when I took the Brian pants out of the packaging, but I quickly fell in love with them after a few minutes of wear. Made by B.Draddy, which is a brand all golfers need to know about given the overall quality of the apparel, they come in several versatile colors.

The tailored fit was perfect for me and was complimented beautifully by the soft feel of the premium Peruvian Prima cotton.

The pockets are deep enough to carry everything you need out on the course or your keys and wallet if you’re heading out for dinner or to the bar in the evening where these pants will seamlessly match your smart casual fit. The price might put some potential buyers off, but I expect these pants to be regularly in my rotation for many years to come.

+ Unbeatable stretch
+ Incredibly lightweight and breathable
- Crease up quite easily

Lululemon made its name in activewear, and as soon as I put on the ABC trousers that heritage became very clear. These are perhaps the stretchiest and least restrictive trousers I have ever worn. Combined with the fact that the material is very lightweight, they are an absolute dream to wear. In terms of pure comfort these may be the best trousers in the world, not just golf.

The pockets are deep and well placed, the selections of colours and sizes are ideal, there really is not a lot you can argue with. With that in mind, there are two small issues to mention. Firstly, the material does crease up quicker than other golf trousers I have worn. While this isn’t a deal breaker, it’s worth bearing in mind if you are adverse to using an iron. Finally the price point may be restrictive to those golfing on a budget.

+ Smart traditional cut
+ Very flexible
- If you need a longer than standard leg

The TravisMathew Wanderlust Golf Pant provides you with a lightweight, breathable stretchy fabric - it's so comfortable, you might forget you're not wearing pajamas! It may not offer the thickness of true winter trousers, but its fabric is quick-drying and perfect for those ambiguous transitional weather days. The modern, tailored fit is sleek, ensuring no excess material puts you off during your swing. The smart, versatile styling means they can be worn easily away from the course, working equally well for a birdie putt or a lunch date.

They lack the bulky cargo pockets of some outdoor pants, prioritizing a clean, sophisticated line. For comfort and convenience, the deep pockets are functional, but maybe don't trust them with too many loose tees. This pant is perfect for the golfer who believes looking good should feel effortless and views comfort as a competitive edge.

Sizes: 30-42

+ Comfortable tapered fit
+ Excellent mobility in the golf swing
- Could feel restrictive for people that like a looser fit

These tapered fit golf trousers would pair perfectly with pretty much any golf garment you can find in your wardrobe, thanks to the classic sleek look and advanced design. With the stretch silicon waistband you can play in comfort without worrying about constantly tucking your shirt in, while the functional side entry pockets provide the practicality needed for the modern golfer.

The four way stretch material offers great mobility and unrestricted movement in the swing, while a subtle FootJoy logo on the rear pocket adds to that timeless look we have come to associate with the brand. I regularly wear these trousers, both for work and on the golf course, and I would recommend them to anyone who values comfort and style in equal measure.

+ Wide array of color choices
+ Nice tailored fit
- Better suited for summer golf

There are a total of 10 colors to choose from with the Vent pant, so if you’re indecisive then you might want to look elsewhere…

I tested the huckleberry colorway and although I wasn’t in love with them when taking them out of the packaging, those doubts were quickly swept away once I put them on. They feature a very small checkered-like design that I thought would be very obvious when I wore them, but once on you barely notice it.

Instead, you notice how stretchy these pants are and how they’ve clearly been constructed purely for golf. They’re lightweight and thus don’t provide a whole heap of warmth, meaning they might not be the best for winter golf, but they remain an excellent trouser choice for those who prefer to play in spring and summer.

Sizes: 36 combos of waist and leg

+ Incredibly stretchy and soft
+ Made from sustainable materials
- Quite baggy around the lower leg

An incredibly stretchy golf pant with a smooth sensation to the touch. It makes some something that is very comfortable in all weather conditions. The water-repellent finish on top will handle a short rain shower with ease but isn’t a fully waterproof option. Thanks to the fact they’re made by a company the size of Nike, there are a whopping 36 different size options covering all waist and leg combinations.

These certainly aren’t the modern, tapered trousers that we’ve become accustomed to. If you prefer a more traditional, tailored fit then these will be great, but those who prefer a tapered fit best look elsewhere.

Sizes: 28-40

+ Exceptional thermal properties
+ Incredibly stretchy
- Not suitable for milder outings

For golfers that want a more sophisticated look this winter, the Ultimate365 arctic pant are a stand out choice. The slim fit combined with the stretch qualities of the dobby knit fabric ensure you look the part, feel comfortable as you walk and swing and also protected from the elements.

Make no mistake - these pants keep you extremely warm, to the point that there’s no need to add another layer on top or underneath from a heat perspective.

This may catch you out on milder days or as the temperature rises throughout the day, but if you know it’s going to be cold the whole time, these will tick all the boxes.

+ Water resistant
+ Infrared technology
- Loose fit may not please everyone

The Under Armour ColdGear Infrared Tapered Pants are a great option for those who like to do battle with the course on a cooler day. The infrared technology on the inside of these trousers is incorporated into a soft lining that, not only provides great comfort, but also insulates these pants superbly well.

They remain extremely lightweight, considering the additional technology, and the fluorine-free water repellent technology allows water to seamlessly fall off these pants if you find yourself caught in a shower. The 4-way stretch on these pants also means mobility is not restricted and you can still make an athletic swing while remaining warm and dry.

+ Very warm but also breathable
+ Good water resistance
- Have a baggy fit

The Puma Warm Trousers are great for those colder days with a splash of rain around. Because of their water repellent fabric, they will keep you dry in showers which ensures you stay comfortable during your rounds.

Designed with UPF 50 protection, they also provide protection from the sun's harmful rays, with a fleece lining providing great temperature control. In testing, during a wet and warm day, we found these trousers to do exactly as expected, with a nice fit including stretch in the fabric that is very breathable. All in all, these Warm Trousers will really help you out in the unpredictable weather and, with a number of sizing options, there should be a fit for everyone.

+ Stylish alternative to waterproof pants
+ Keeps winter chills out
- Not fully waterproof

Not everyone enjoys the baggy look of traditional golf waterproof trousers, which is why these slim fitting thermal trousers are a compelling alternative for the style-conscious golfer that plays all year round. They look like any normal pair of golf pants but are actually made of a thick and stretchy thermal material that does an incredible job of keeping any chill at bay.

On milder days, they didn’t provide the breathability we were hoping for, but on colder outings these remove the need for an additional pair of pants and the soft inner lining means they’re comfortable to wear against your skin. While they’re not technically fully waterproof, we wore them during some heavy showers on the course and didn’t get any water coming through.

Sizes: 30-40

+ Good amount of stretch
+ Plenty of color choices
- A little tight around the crotch

For golfers seeking a technical, high performing pair of golf pants you’ll like what you experience from Galvin Green’s Noah. These slim fitting pants come in a whopping 21 size options, so you’re sure to find a pair that will fit you perfectly, although even in our size they do come up a little snug around the crotch area.

They incorporate a shirt gripper waistband to help keep your shirt tucked in and with both front and back pockets, these pants are as functional as they are stylish. The UV protection of 20+ provides a barrier from the sun’s harmful rays and the stretch in the material maximises comfort and freedom of movement while you’re playing golf. It also dries quickly for added convenience, making them a near-perfect option for the course.

Sizes: 30-42

+ Cosy soft to touch fleeced inner lining.
+ Excellent stretch for those that need it.
- For anyone looking for a more athletic fit

These are my go to trousers for the autumn and winter golf season, very smart design and doesn’t give the impression that is a winter-focused product. In particular the material does not look cheap or shiny, which is a problem with some colder season products.

The biggest plus point was the fantastic fleecy inner lining, which keep your legs lovely and warm throughout a round. The product is also not bulky, and they helped me swing very easily on a nippy day in October. Lovely product that I highly recommend.

Impressive water resistance and thermal
Value for money
A little ‘noisy’

The ProQuip Pro Tech Winter Tech Trousers are ideal for sodden rounds thanks to the water-repellant treated polyester fabric which works extremely well. I expected light rain to bead off, but was really impressed by just how heavy a downpour the fabric could resist.

The seams aren’t taped so in very heavy rain water will eventually find its way in, but they will stop you needing to pull on full waterproofs for a decent amount of time. The trousers are also thermal, great for colder days but I did find them a bit too thermal for wet autumn golf. The water-repellent coating and reasonably loose fit did mean that they were slightly ‘swooshy’ when striding down the fairway.

Sizes: 30-44

+ Warm yet breathable
+ Water resistant
- May prove too warm in changeable weather

The Ping Sensorwarm Winter Trouser II features the perfect combination of warmth and comfort that you need when the temperatures drop. They are extremely comfortable thanks to the brushed-back fabric, which is made from 92% polyester and 8% elastane. They are also water resistant, meaning you’ll only have to reach for the waterproof trousers when the rain turns very heavy. There is ample storage, with two front pockets, a concealed zip pocket, and two back pockets, including a scorecard pocket and a button-down pocket. They feature a Ping Eye logo on the back and the Eye Mark logo on the front under the left-hand pocket.
