The 10 Best Golf Pants For Men
Special Honors
Dunning Player Fit Woven Repeatedly recognized as the "best technical bottoms in golf," Dunning's Player Fit pants are specialized down to the minutest details, crafted with single-needle tailoring in a plush woven polyester blend. These pants are designed for versatility across body types, and are specifically engineered for maximum airflow and shape retention. Fit and performance are prioritized in their lightweight, breathable construction, with four-way stretch and superior moisture management properties rounding out their list of coveted qualities. dunning.com
Greyson Montauk Joggers These modern "dress joggers" from Greyson's fashion-forward collection are a sophisticated-casual hybrid in satin-finish Italian fabric, available in six stunning, nuanced colorways. These don't skimp on technical specs either: Eight-way stretch and a comfortable sport waistband provide excellent flexibility, and perforated camouflage pocket bags keep things light and breezy. The luxe material is also moisture-wicking, antimicrobial and UV-A/UV-B protectant. greyson.com
Bonobos Highland Tour Perhaps the most customizable style out there, the Bonobos Highland Tour golf pants allow you to select from four cuts, five inseam lengths and seven colors, in addition to eleven waist sizes. Flex material at the side panels and back yoke and an articulated back knee strategically facilitate ease of movement, and the poly blend fabric has a UPF of 50. A gel waistband and interior phone pocket keep everything in its place, and eyelet vents at the inseam make these extra breathable. bonobos.com
Editor's Notes
October 17, 2020:
Flexibility, breathable materials and a touch of class are typically top priorities for a golfer getting dressed for a round. These selections are meant to reflect those standard needs, while also highlighting some exceptional features and details that some of these brands have introduced in their garments.
Some of the styles we've included here, like the Amazon Essentials Straight-Fit, are simply solid, dependable garments that are palatable to almost everyone and won't break the bank. Meanwhile, some of the bigger athletic names have introduced their own specialized patented technologies--think Nike's Dri-FIT moisture-wicking poly blend, featured on both the Nike Flex Core and the Nike Flat Front, or Under Armour's insulating ColdGear fabric.
Does every golfer have the same preferences and priorities? Of course not, and this list attempts to accommodate the requisite different strokes (no pun intended) for different folks. Since the bigger names often carry multiple styles within a category, we opted for the ones that checked the most boxes when it came to useful details and features, while still offering a broad aesthetic appeal.
Once you've determined your specific functional needs on the links, all that's left to do is choose the best cut for you. Oh--and to find the perfect shoes to complete the look.
