Buying Guide
Key considerations help refine your choice when shopping for tailors and athletic shorts for golf:
- Fabric and stretch: Look for blends that offer movement without sagging, such as polyester-spandex or moisture-wicking cotton blends. Ensure the material dries quickly and breathes well on hot days.
- Fit and rise: Decide between pull-on versus zip-fly styles and consider waistband design for tummy control or a secure fit during swings.
- Length and coverage: Choose a length that suits your on-course comfort, whether you prefer 7″, 9.5″, or 21″ options, balancing coverage with mobility.
- Pockets and storage: Secure pockets are crucial for tees, scorecards, and gloves. Zippered or deep pockets reduce loss hazards during movement.
- UV protection: UPF-rated fabrics help protect skin from sun exposure during long rounds.
- Care and durability: Durable twill or performance fabrics that tolerate frequent washing extend the life of your shorts.
- Style versatility: Consider neutral colors and streamlined silhouettes that pair well with many tops and belts for on-course and off-course wear.
When evaluating options, weigh the balance between performance features (moisture management, stretch) and practical aspects (pockets, waistband comfort, length). For players who value a classic look with modern comfort, a 21″ or 9.5″ inseam with tummy control or a high-waisted design often delivers the best blend of coverage and mobility. Shorter lengths can be ideal for hot climates or personal style preferences, provided they maintain adequate support during swings.
