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 (as well as a Cherry Malt Heather finish that will draw some looks), the pants are one of our favorites this year. Why?
Well the fabric feels lovely on the skin, very soft and comfortable, whilst also moving well throughout the golf swing. This fabric also provides UV resistance, and is moisture wicking and quick drying as well. But Bonobos has also got the little details right here, from the logo slide snap closure, to the silicone shirt gripper on the inside of the waistband. Oh and the geo print pocketing really adds a premium touch as well.
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.
We tested them in black which we'd recommend if you're looking for a trouser that can match pretty much anything else in your wardrobe. They taper nicely around the leg which suits the current trend for golf trousers, 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 trousers that feel too tight. Our only qualm is that the black colorway went a bit dull after a few washes but there are plenty of other colors to choose from as well.

Recently updated, the Ellott pants from J. Lindeberg are one of the best models on the market right now.
From a functional stand point, the new Micro Stretch fabrication gives the pants a high degree of stretch, breathability, comfort and a lightweight feel.

FootJoy make some of the best golf shoes (opens in new tab) and apparel in the game and these Performance Tapered Fit trousers continue that trend.
FootJoy has used a technical fabric which creates a smart, modern, specific look. The simple color options mean that any of them can be worn with a range of different t-shirts and mid-layers. These trousers 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. But overall 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.
A staple model out on Tour – one that also featured in our best golf trousers (opens in new tab) guide – these adidas Go-To's are designed with extra stretch in the waistband for full freedom of movement. The moisture-absorbing fabric also helps keep you dry for the days play too.
The classic five-pocket design gives you plenty of room for tees, ball markers and a score card. We should also mention how adidas continues to develop its environmentally sustainable golf apparel and these trousers fit into that as they are made with Primegreen - a series of high-performance recycled materials.
How we test golf apparel
When it comes to golf apparel, our testing revolves around simply using the products properly. This entails playing a number of times out on the golf course, that way we can see how the garments perform when faced with different and changing weather conditions, varying stances, and just generally how they feel during golf.
We would then, dependent on the model, use the product off the golf course to see how versatile it is because this is a great way of you getting more for your money. It is important to note that many brands are seeking to make more golf clothing that can be used anywhere, and as such, we test this theory out.
Finally we should say that our testing team tells it how it is, and therefore no manufacturer can pay for a good review.
