Best Golf Pants 2022

Sizes: 30-40
Colors: 1

+ Extremely comfortable
+ Snug, warm fabric on the inside deals with the cold
- Lack of back pockets

These pants performed excellently. As the name suggests, they provide warmth because of the soft fleece on the inside of the pants. They are not too thick and cumbersome because the fabric is nice and light, which makes them very easy to move in.

Three smaller details we liked were the adidas branding on the inside of the waistband which acted as a kind of silicone tape to stop our shirt from coming untucked, the zips around the ankles meant we could alter the pants nicely, and finally any brand that shows a commitment to environmental construction should be mentioned as these are made with 92% recycled polyester.

+ Repels water effectively
+ Added warmth ideal for winter
- Could be restrictive if worn under waterproof pants

Made from a woven fabric, these are thicker than most golf pants but still stretch nicely with the movement of the golf swing. 

We liked the simple styling and fit which creates a classic look and can happily be worn with a range of different garments on the upper body.  However, what impressed us most was how the fabric repels water. They might not be fully waterproof but they will prevent you from getting too wet if you’re walking through soggy rough to get to your ball.

The ThermoSeries trouser is a garment that’s designed for use in autumn and winter. With the right sweater, these will offer plenty of warmth and allow you to enjoy your golf.

+ Extra warmth provided
+ Very soft and stretchy fabric
- Will likely be too hot for summer

For golfers that want a warmer pair of pants to wear during colder months without having to wear baggy waterproof pants over the top, the Axil Fleece Twill Pants are an excellent option. They’re a little thicker than most, which provides the added warmth, but they’re extremely stretchy too which means the slim, tapered fit doesn’t feel too snug or restricting. The sizing comes up big, so try before you buy if you can.

A great feature golfers will appreciate here is the water repellent finish, which does a great job of ensuring water beads off the surface of the fabric leaving only a minimal trace behind - perfect if you get caught in a passing shower. The inside of the pockets is super soft and the textured finish on the fabric creates a fashionable look.

+ Great comfort
+ Extremely warm
- Slightly too warm in milder temperatures

The Ping Vision Winter Trousers are an exceptional garment that will keep your legs nice and warm during the coldest of weathers. They’re extremely comfortable with a lovely amount of stretch and even come with a handy, secret zipped pocket inside the right hand pocket. 

They’re definitely an extremely warm pair of pants and do exactly the job you’d hope from them, although they are definitely too warm for mild days so cannot be worn in the summer and shoulder seasons. They come in two colorways, black or navy, which is nice but some may want a grey or beige version too as they are a terrific item from Ping.

+ Lightweight and comfortable
+ Water resistant
- Nope, we've got nothing

Under Armour has become a go-to brand for golf pants from Jordan Spieth down to amateur players. With models like the Drive, it is not hard to see why. Constructed from a high-performance fabric, they are light, durable and come with Storm technology to repel water away nicely. 

They come in six nice colors, and not only can you get them in the regular design above, but also Tapered Fit, and Five-Pocket designs as well. Did we also mention that these pants are made from 100 per cent recycled materials? Adidas are at the forefront of producing sustainable golf clothing best golf polos.

+ Very comfortable
+ Lightweight and water resistant
- Tapered fit is slightly baggier than hoped

Adidas’ Ultimate365 Tapered Pants are a smart, comfortable option for golfers to wear out on the course. Flexibility comes from the stretchy fabric which also happens to be water-resistant. There are a number of other features we liked during testing as well. First, the overall lightweight feel was nice and makes these the ideal pair of pants to use during the summer months. 

The elasticated waistband produces just enough give and we also enjoyed the classic styling with the adidas logo above the right back pocket. There are five colors to choose from and the detailing on the inside of the pockets adds a premium flourish.

If you are a fan of Penguin golf gear then these All Day Everyday Pants could be your perfect pair of pants this year. Made with a stretchy and technologically advanced fabric, it is the little details we like the most here, such as the elastic gripper waistband, and Pete the Penguin logo on the back. 

The versatility here is also a huge plus point because these, as the name would suggest, it can be worn all day and just about anywhere. One thing we noticed almost immediately was the lightness of these pants too. Used on a couple of hot days this lightweight fabric construction kept things very comfortable throughout and may be preferable to some of the best golf shorts.

+ Premium model that performed very well indeed
+ Colors offer something a little different
- Pockets could have been bigger

A brand you would've seen worn by Justin Rose, Bonobos often makes shirts, in particular, that stand out from the crowd but this is not the case with the Performance Link Pants. Available in eight subtle colors, the pants are one of our favorites this year. Why?

Well, the fabric feels lovely on the skin, it is very soft and comfortable, but also enables you to move well throughout your golf swing. This fabric also provides UV resistance, making these a great trouser to wear if you're playing in hot conditions but also has moisture-wicking and quick drying properties if you do get caught in an unexpected shower. Bonobos has also got the little details right in this offering. From the logo slide snap closure to the silicone shirt gripper on the inside of the waistband, these are excellent golf pants.

+ Loads of colors to choose from
+ Stretchy material makes for comfortable movement
- Black color can fade after a few washes

Puma's Jackpot 5 Pocket pants have proved very popular for a while now and it is easy to see why thanks to the combination of style, comfort, and wearable sportswear technology. This new model has a lighter mesh stretch waistband along with a silicone Puma Golf logo gripper tape to keep things comfortable in the waist area. Puma's DryCELL technology is also present which wicks moisture away well.

They taper nicely around the leg which suits the current trend for golf pants but the stretchy material means that you never feel like they're too tight. This stretch in the material is felt most significantly when you're bending down to mark your ball or tee it up and it's a welcome relief from some pants that feel too tight.

+ Lightweight fabric is comfortable to wear
+ Modern fit, No ironing required
- Not as wearable off-course

FootJoy make some of the best golf shoes and apparel in the game and these Performance Tapered Fit pants continue that trend. The simple color options mean that any of them can be worn with a range of different t-shirts and mid-layers. These pants are very lightweight which makes them ideal even if the temperature heats up. 

For us, the only downside was the technical fabric places you firmly on the golf course and as such are less versatile than a more traditional chino that we'd wear off course as well. They allow for a comfortable fit whilst still allowing for movement and breathability because of the nylon fabric.  The anti-microbial technology differentiates this pair further too as does the color choice.

+ Exceptionally comfortable
+ Great cut and styling
- Performance fabric won’t be to everyone's tastes

G/FORE products usually stand out from the crowd in outlandish ways but the brand has kept things classically stylish here. These pants are smart, casual, lightweight and extremely soft on the skin which makes them very easy to wear all day. 

They are made from a Japanese performance stretch twill fabric which is ideal for maximum mobility and comfort. But if you're looking to complete your outfit, why not pair them up with some of the best G/FORE golf shoes on the market.

Peter Millar makes premium golf attire and these EB66 pants are no exception. Available in an astounding thirteen excellent colors, they are lauded for the unique combination of technical features, like two-way stretch, moisture management and easy care, with a weekend-ready five-pocket design. 

The fabric felt lovely on the skin and the pants stretched and moved perfectly. The pants feel like a premium product and we love the little details like the camo stitching on the inside of the waist. Thanks to the classic look and fit, we felt we could use these just about anywhere.

+ Enjoyed performance of the DWR coating
+ Good all round performance
- J Lindeberg usually offer more colors

Recently updated, the Ellott pants from J. Lindeberg are one of the best models on the market right now. From a functional standpoint, J. Lindeberg's 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, making these a great pair of pants for wet weather golf, while the different colors on these pants provide an excellent selection of choice.
