What's your go to brand for pants?

[Colin K]

New to forums, and have recently started buying a new pair of joggers/pants from golf companies for both play and day-to-day work. Big fan of Bonobos and Asher pants, curious if anyone else swears by other non-mainstream brands?

(I was only seeing rain gear reviews on the website, so thought I'd check in with the community)

I now buy PGASS brand they wear and look as well as my UA and Nike pants at half the price.

Not saying they are the best quality you're ever going to find, but if value is a proposition the All-In-Motion from Target are a $30 short and $40 pant with a dri-fit like material.

I've had one of the shorts pairs for 3 years now and they still work great.  Just got another pair and a pair of pants for this year.

When going high end I wear Lululemon, bonobos, also like the Cobra jackpot pants

I actually go to Haggar or Izod for pants, very affordable, they last a long time, and you can get BOGOs often. We also do a lot of thrifting so if I can find something nice I'll pick it up. The big score last year was a pair of gray FJs for $10.

If you are looking for something a little nicer/don't mind spending a little extra I would suggest either Rhone or LuluLemon.

I received a pair of pants from each these brands as gifts a while back (separate occasions). These pants work for a lot more than golf, and that's why, to me anyway, they are worth some extra money. They have become my "go-to" for just about anything. They are great for travel, around-the-house, errands, etc. Eventually I got sick of only having two pairs and have since bought a number from each brand because they work in so many non-golf situations.

If you do end up are looking at LuluLemon pants I would recommend the Commission style over their ABC model. The only difference between the two is the pockets. The commission have a traditional khaki/dockers style pocket, while the ABC pants have jeans-style pockets.

I’ve got two brands I really like for pants. If you’re into the jogger look, Primo Golf pants are insanely comfortable, super lightweight and great stretch.

If you’re looking for a straight leg fit or tapered fit, I’m a huge fan of the Under Armor Drive Pants. Again very lightweight, great stretch, super comfortable.

Those are the three brands that I wear. I have more PGASS than the others.

I second the recommendation for Under Armor Drive pants. Everything, and I literally mean everything, else feels restrictive.  The Under Armor Drive pants move and stretch in all the right ways and are not restrictive at all without being loose and baggy.  I wear them everywhere including the office.

[Golf2Much]

I've been a recent fan of Adidas pants and shorts.  They are light weight (important down here in the Keys when I'm forced to wear pants), have decent stretch waist line and they have regular and taper legs (I like the taper legs).  If there's a criticism of them, is that they can wrinkle a little easy.   Overall, they are my go to pants.

After almost 170 years, the brand has made jeans into a must-have piece of clothing and maintained its spot as the number one denim supplier in the world. For Levi's most classic look (and really the most classic pair of jeans ever), pick up the original fit 501s.

[Shankster]

My wife found me some vineyard vines pants on sale.  I was a straight twill type of guy for years, mocking stretchy fabric… now, if it doesn’t flex it doesn’t come home with me.  Nothing like (hypothetically) being in an odd spot in a bunker and you rip a hole in a pair of pants because they can’t move.  
 

Highly recommend the VV stuff if you can find it on sale.  Otherwise, I had a few of the target brand golf pants that weren’t too bad, but those were on sale too.

[GolfSpy_APH]

Footjoy and Under armour here. Great fit, stretch and materials. Prices have been solid too.

[GolfSpy TCB]

I mostly wear slacks on the course.  Michael Kors or Perry Ellis - Performance Dress Pants.  I have a unique shape I'm trying to fit  and they seem to fit better than golf pants.  Plus.. it is easy to go from the office to the course

But always white pants right?

[CFreddie]

Second the Lululemon suggestion - they are pricey but they hold up VERY well (I have pants from 2-3 years ago that are still in great shape) and they fit me really well.  

[richk9holes]

Following this. I've lost about 20 lbs and my golf pants are mostly all "fat pants" now. I rotate a couple pairs of Van Huesen khakis with a pair of Levi's signature jeans in a khaki color and a pair of Sligo grey checker in a dri-stretch type material.

Makes underwear selection tricky

[fozcycle]

We have a Greg Norman outlet store neat us, so right now they get all my business, both shorts and shirts….socks too.

GN brand clothes go through the washing process very nice.

[CSiders12]

Fabletics pants are the way to go. Super high quality stuff and when you sign up you can get 70% off. I used to wear Nike golf pants but now I only really wear Fabletics. 

[Triple_Putt]

Honestly, I wear pants from Costco. Super stretchy and comfortable, stretchy, and look good. Decent durability. 19.99 last I bought!!

I saw they’re making men’s now. Assumed the quality was good may have to try some now.

Bought a pair of Dunning last summer - added three more pair over the winter - really like the elasticity in them.  Haven't tried the shorts yet, but the pants are great.

$110 for a pair of pants? Holy smokes

I typically wear them for work when I don’t have to wear the suit and tie, or everyday use. Worn more off the course than on. 

[Headhammer]

Whatever is on sale primarily. Any of the offerings from Under Armour, Puma & Adidas are quite comfortable and perfect for golf.

They also have a nice “sale” section. How is the fit? Pretty true to size or a touch big? Looking at their size chart it looks like they run bog, but want to confirm.
