Not too long ago, we were in the best of times when it came to golf pants. Golfers had one choice when it came to golf pants, traditional flat front styles in three basic colors: khaki, black or blue. Also, if you were really pushing the boundaries of the dress code, maybe charcoal gray. Today, the category has completely changed. Players are seen in everything from cute five-pocket pants and athletic chinos to ultra-lightweight styles and weatherproof rain pants built for wet, unpredictable conditions.
Whatever your style, today’s best golf pants all aim for the same thing: lightweight comfort, freedom of movement, breathability, and enough flexibility that you don’t want to change clothes right after your round.
These are some of the best pants to buy, right now:
Redvanly Kent Pull-On Golf Pants
Golf pants? Absolutely.Kent Pull-On golf pants are designed for golfers who want maximum comfort from a brand that is making big strides in golf lately. Made from lightweight GLYDINGnylon fabric, it offers a unique aesthetic that moves easily through the golf swing while maintaining a clean, tailored look. Features like a functional fly, front and back pockets, and a faux button give them the look of a casual golf pant with the feel of your favorite wear.
1 thing we like the most: They are lighter and more flexible than traditional golf pants while still looking clean and made for everyday wear. No one will know you’re wearing them like you do pants.

TravisMathew Open Close Panty
The TravisMathew Open To Close Pant is so popular in our office that we can bet at least a dozen guys here have more than two pairs at home. It’s easy to see why, with their clean, casual look combined with performance-oriented comfort. The middleweight fabric features enhanced stretch and a soft waistband that moves naturally all day, on the course, in the office or anywhere for that matter.
1 thing we like the most: They are surprisingly resistant to shrinkage, making them a top choice for those on the go and/or inexperienced with steel.

Nike Par Dri-FIT Men’s Golf Pants
Skinny pants are back in style and we love them. The Nike Par Dri-FIT golf pants are designed to handle long rounds in warm conditions thanks to lightweight four-way fabric and Nike’s Dri-FIT moisture-wicking technology. Clean lines, subtle pleats and premium details give them a polished look that works as well off the course as it does on it. It’s the look we’ve been waiting to see for almost 30 years.
1 thing we like the most: An elastic waistband with grip tape does a great job of keeping shirts tucked in. The tee pockets are great, too.

Ashworth GM 5 Golf Pants
Ashworth has had a bit of a comeback in the style department, and these pants combine a clean, chino/jeans-like style with breathable fabric built to resist heat. The lightweight polyester-and-spandex blend delivers a soft matte finish with plenty of stretch, while the breathable construction helps you stay cool. Moisture-wicking, anti-bacterial, wrinkle-resistant, and UPF 50+ coverage make this ideal for golfers who play long summer rounds and don’t want to wear shorts.
1 thing we like the most: The fabric feels lighter and cooler than other pants we’ve tried. They also fit a lot like denim, but they’re not quite the same.

adidas Ultimate365 Golf Pants
There’s more than one reason why the adidas Ultimate365 Golf Pants are so popular, but we think it’s the traditional look on the course and the modern performance that make them a bestseller. Made from a strong 4-way twill fabric, it provides excellent mobility while staying clean, it fits tapered legs without bunching up or bending over your golf shoes. It also comes with a waterproof finish and UPF protection.
1 thing we like the most: They feel like they were made for golf first and the office or anywhere else a close second. Pocket spaces make perfect sense for everything you need to carry when playing.

The Vuori Aim Trouser Athletic Slim is perfect for golfers who want a slim, tailored look without sacrificing comfort and stretch. Thoughtful details like a magnetic back pocket closure and front zippered pockets give these pants a sleek, modern feel that works well on and off the golf course.

The new FootJoy ThermoSeries golf pants are as close as you’ll get to wearing real rain pants, without being different. They come with four-way brush knit fabric for unrestricted movement during swings, and a durable waterproof finish helps you stay dry on foggy mornings or light rain.
1 thing we like the most: They’re not rain pants, but wait, maybe they are? We would like to see custom made pants with more effective water repellency features. Genius concept.
