Under Armour Drive Tapered Pant Review
Are these the best value golf pants of 2025?

Available in a number of appealing colorways, the Drive Tapered Pants from Under Armour are, in my opinion, the best value for money you'll find from a golf pant in 2025. The lightweight, stretchy material means you'll never feel restricted during your swing and a few small golf-specific features really add to the experience of wearing these.

Why you can trust Golf Monthly

Golfers should have a few mental check boxes that need ticked when looking to buy a pair of golf pants. They have to be a few things - stretchy, lightweight, comfortable and have sufficient pocket room for all the items and accessories that you may carry during rounds like tees, ballmarkers, scorecards and more.
Of course, the golf pants have to look the part too - step forward the Under Armour Drive Tapered Pant, arguably the best pair of golf trousers we have tested in 2025 and certainly the best in terms of value for money.
Beginning with the looks, we tested the Halo Grey color and instantly loved what met the eye. The color is a gorgeous one, hitting that perfect balance between light colored, eye-catching pant without being too attention seeking.

These are trousers built specifically for golfers and after only a few holes on the golf course it’s easy to see why. The Drive pants are both light and stretchy, making them perfect for spring and summer golf. They are also water repellent which protects you against those unexpected showers that roll in half way through your round.
4-way stretch of the durable & super-comfortable stretch-woven twill fabric allows for full movement throughout the golf swing, meaning you’ll never feel restricted.
The internal rubber writing on the inside of the stretch waistband is an excellent touch, keeping your polo shirt in place and tucked in throughout the swing. Sufficient room is provided in the four pockets but we may have appreciated a little more or perhaps a mini pocket inside one of the front two pockets to store my pitch mark repairer or ball marker - however, I’m a player who typically has a lot in his pockets during rounds!
We tested these trousers alongside the Under Armour Forge 96 shoes, a really good value pair of golf sneakers, and loved the color coordination on offer - look good, feel good, play good as they say.
At just $85 per pair, there is a better pair of golf trousers on the market for the same price. The Drive pants are also available in a non-tapered version for those who prefer a more roomy fit.

He graduated with a Masters degree in Sports Journalism from St Marys University, Twickenham in 2023 and focuses on the reviews and Ecommerce side of proceedings. Hailing from Newcastle, Northern Ireland, Conor is lucky to have Royal County Down as his home golf course. Golf has been a constant in his life, beginning to play the game at the age of four and later becoming a caddy at RCD at just eleven years old. Now 26, Conor has caddied over 500 rounds in a 12-year-long caddying career at one of the best courses in the world. Playing to a four handicap, you’re likely to find him on his local driving range trying (and failing) to hit a Shane Lowry-esc stinger that helped him win The 148th Open Championship at Royal Portrush.
