When the temperatures drop, the right equipment is crucial to prolong the golf season. A good pair of golf trousers needs to do more than just keep you warm. They should guarantee full freedom of movement and protect you from the elements. We have analyzed the most important features of the best golf pants for the cold season and present them clearly here.
The Trousers presented here take different approaches to keeping you warm. The Galvin Green Elof thermal trousers are designed as a warming base layer that is worn directly next to the skin. Thanks to the SKINTIGHT technology and the stretchy, breathable fabric, they provide the perfect foundation for the multi-layer system.
Many other trousers, such as those from FootJoy and J.Lindeberg, rely on a brushed lining or fleece insides. This soft material retains body heat and provides additional comfort. The Under Armour ColdGear Infrared Tapered goes one step further: its special technology with a thermally conductive inner coating absorbs and retains body heat without making the trousers heavier.
The Icebreaker Oasis Merino Trousers are a natural and sustainable alternative. They are made from 100% merino wool, which is naturally temperature-regulating, moisture-wicking and odor-resistant.
All Trousers are extremely elastic thanks to a high elastane content, which is essential for unrestricted freedom of movement during the golf swing.
Cold weather is often accompanied by moisture. Trousers from FootJoy, J.Lindeberg, Alberto and Under Armour are therefore water-repellent or have a DWR coating that allows light rain to simply roll off. Models from J.Lindeberg and Under Armour are also quick-drying, making them ideal for changeable weather.
The details also make the difference. Models such as the Alberto Rookie and the Under Armour ColdGear Infrared Tapered have silicone strips in the waistband that prevent the top from slipping during the golf swing. Trousers from Alberto and Lacoste also offer clever solutions such as special compartments for tees or pens, or have been tested by professional athletes.
Whether you are looking for a technical base layer for extreme cold or classic, weatherproof Trousers for the fall - there is a suitable model for every requirement.
Invest in the right golf trousers and enjoy the game even in the colder months.
