Under Armour Golf Trousers – The Ultimate Golf Pant for 2026

By James Langmead on February 18, 2026

Quick Verdict on Under Armour Golf Trousers

Under Armour offers three distinct golf trouser options, each designed for different playing styles and preferences, priced from £43.99 to £54.95.

The Drive Tapered Fit (£54.95) is the flagship option, featuring premium features such as UA Storm technology and seven colour choices, making it ideal for serious golfers who play in all conditions. The Matchplay Tapered (£43.99) delivers excellent value with core performance features in a streamlined design. The Drive Golf Jogger (£49.95) offers a modern athletic aesthetic with the same weather protection as the Drive Tapered, making it perfect for golfers who want a contemporary look both on and off the course.

All three models are available from The Golf Shop Online, an authorised Under Armour retailer since 2002, with our team of four PGA professionals ready to help you choose the right fit. Plus, enjoy our 60-day no-quibble returns policy on all golf clothing, giving you complete peace of mind with your purchase.

Quick Navigation

Key Price Difference: The £11 difference between the Matchplay and Drive primarily reflects the inclusion of UA Storm water-repellent technology and a more premium fabric blend. For golfers who regularly play in damp British conditions, this investment often proves worthwhile.

The Drive Jogger’s mid-range pricing reflects its unique styling and Storm technology, making it an excellent value for those seeking weather protection with a contemporary look.

Expert Insight: When evaluating these trousers, consider your typical playing frequency and conditions. The £11 premium for the Drive Tapered over the Matchplay essentially buys you UA Storm protection and Microthread fabric, which translates to approximately 20p extra per round if you play 50 times per year. For regular players in British weather, this represents excellent value.

Similarly, the Drive Jogger’s £6 premium over the Matchplay gives you Storm protection plus contemporary styling, making it ideal for golfers who want their apparel to work both on course and in everyday situations.

Fit Aspect	Drive Tapered	Drive Jogger	Matchplay
Waist Fit	Fitted with stretch	Relaxed with stretch + grip	Standard with stretch
Hip & Thigh	Slim, contoured	Relaxed, roomier	Standard, moderate
Leg Opening	Tapered, modern	Elastic cuff, snug	Tapered, traditional
Overall Silhouette	Athletic, streamlined	Casual, jogger-style	Classic golf trousers
Best For Body Type	Athletic, lean builds	All body types	All body types

General Sizing Guidance: Under Armour golf trousers run true to size. Most golfers should order their standard waist size. The stretch waistbands on all three models provide approximately 2-3cm of give, offering comfort throughout your round without requiring a larger size.

Between Sizes? If you’re between waist sizes, we recommend:

• Drive Tapered Fit: Size up if you prefer a less fitted look or have muscular thighs
• Drive Golf Jogger: Order your standard size; the relaxed fit accommodates most builds comfortably
• Matchplay Tapered: Order your standard size; the moderate taper suits most body types

Inseam Options: The Drive Jogger specifically offers Short, Regular, and Tall inseam options based on height (see product specifications above). The Drive Tapered and Matchplay are available in standard inseam lengths. If you require specific alterations, please contact our team on 0800 3681097 for advice.

What It Does: UA Storm technology applies a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish to the fabric surface, causing water to bead up and roll off rather than soaking into the material. This treatment is engineered to be almost weightless and invisible, ensuring it doesn’t affect the fabric’s feel or breathability.

Real-World Performance: During light rain or early morning rounds with heavy dew, Storm-treated trousers will keep you dry and comfortable. The technology excels in British golf conditions where brief showers and damp grass are common. Whilst not a full waterproof like dedicated rain trousers, Storm provides sufficient protection for the majority of playing conditions without the bulk or restricted breathability of waterproof materials.

Care Instructions: To maintain Storm performance, avoid fabric softeners and tumble dry on low heat. The DWR finish can be reactivated by placing trousers in a tumble dryer for 15-20 minutes on low heat.

Featured In: All three models

What It Does: Unlike traditional 2-way stretch fabrics that only stretch horizontally OR vertically, 4-way stretch materials move in all directions. This means the fabric extends across, up, and down the trousers, as well as diagonally.

Real-World Performance: During your golf swing, your lower body rotates, extends, and compresses in multiple planes of movement simultaneously. 4-way stretch ensures the fabric moves with you in every direction, never restricting your natural motion. This is particularly important at the top of the backswing where traditional trousers often create resistance or uncomfortable pulling sensations.

Recovery Properties: Quality 4-way stretch fabrics also exhibit excellent recovery, returning to their original shape after stretching. This prevents the sagging or bagging that can occur with lower-quality stretch materials after extended wear.

The key differences lie in fabric technology, weather protection, and price.

The Drive Tapered Fit (£54.95) features UA Storm water-repellent technology and advanced Microthread fabric for superior moisture management, making it ideal for all-weather play. It also offers seven colour options and a premium fabric blend (56% Polyester, 44% Elastane) that provides exceptional stretch and comfort. The Matchplay Tapered (£43.99) delivers excellent core performance with 4-way stretch and moisture-wicking in a durable 100% polyester construction, but lacks Storm protection and Microthread technology. Both offer tapered fits, but the Drive has a slimmer, more contoured silhouette. For golfers who play regularly in British weather, the £11 premium for Storm protection typically proves worthwhile; for fair-weather players, the Matchplay offers outstanding value.

Most modern clubs accept golf joggers, but it’s worth checking your club’s specific dress code.

Golf joggers have become increasingly accepted at clubs worldwide, particularly among younger members and at more relaxed venues. The Drive Golf Jogger maintains a smart, athletic appearance with its tapered silhouette and quality construction, making it suitable for most club environments. However, some traditional clubs maintain strict dress codes that require conventional trouser styles without elastic cuffs. We recommend checking your club’s dress code policy before purchasing if you’re uncertain. Many golfers find the Drive Jogger perfect for casual rounds, practice sessions, and social golf, whilst keeping traditional trousers like the Drive Tapered or Matchplay for club competitions and formal rounds.

Proper care ensures your trousers maintain their performance characteristics and appearance for many seasons.

Machine wash in cold water with similar colours using a gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softeners entirely, as they can interfere with moisture-wicking properties and degrade the Storm DWR finish on the Drive Tapered and Drive Jogger. For best results, tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. The low heat tumble dry actually helps reactivate the Storm water-repellent finish, restoring its beading performance.

Never use bleach or harsh detergents, as these can damage the technical fabrics. If trousers become heavily soiled, treat stains before washing rather than using excessive detergent. For the Drive Tapered with its 44% Elastane content, avoiding high heat is particularly important to maintain the fabric’s stretch and recovery properties. With proper care, all three trouser models will maintain their performance and appearance for hundreds of rounds, making them excellent long-term investments in your golf wardrobe.

Under Armour golf trousers generally run true to size, and most golfers should order their standard waist measurement.

All three models feature stretch waistbands that provide 2-3cm of give, meaning you don’t need to size up for comfort. The 4-way stretch fabric throughout the trousers also accommodates natural body movement without requiring a larger size. If you’re between sizes, consider your preferred fit style: the Drive Tapered Fit has the slimmest cut, so size up if you prefer less tailored styling or have muscular thighs; the Drive Jogger’s relaxed fit accommodates most builds at true size; and the Matchplay sits comfortably in the middle.

Under Armour uses consistent sizing across its golf apparel range, so if you own other UA clothing, you can confidently order the same size. For the Drive Jogger specifically, pay attention to the inseam recommendations based on height (Short for under 5’10”, Regular for 5’10” to 6’2″, Tall for above 6’2″) to ensure proper length. Remember, we offer a 60-day no-quibble returns policy, so if the size isn’t perfect, simply return them unused for a full refund or exchange. Our team is also happy to provide sizing advice – call 0800 3681097 to speak with one of our PGA professionals.

The answer depends on your playing frequency and conditions, but each trouser offers exceptional value in its category.

For pure price-to-performance ratio, the Matchplay Tapered at £43.99 is outstanding, delivering core Under Armour performance features at the most accessible price point. If you play primarily in fair weather and value having multiple pairs of trousers, the Matchplay represents the best budget-conscious choice.

However, “value” means more than just initial price. For regular players who golf in varied British weather, the Drive Tapered Fit’s £11 premium over the Matchplay buys Storm protection and Microthread fabric. If you play 50 rounds annually, that’s approximately 20p per round for weather protection, which most golfers consider excellent value. The seven colour options also mean that one Drive Tapered can match your entire golf wardrobe more effectively than needing multiple Matchplay pairs.

The Drive Jogger at £49.95 offers perhaps the most interesting value proposition: it’s the only model that genuinely works for both golf and everyday casual wear. If you factor in its versatility beyond the course, the cost-per-wear becomes extremely competitive. Ultimately, the best value depends on your priorities: choose Matchplay for budget value, Drive Tapered for performance value, or Drive Jogger for versatility value.
