If you're still playing golf in old-school khakis, it's time to do yourself a favour. The Under Armour Drive Taper Men's Shorts are light, stretchy, and built specifically for today's athletes — designed to keep your lower body completely unrestricted from the first tee to the final putt. Engineered with a tapered leg fit that gradually narrows from the hips and thighs to just above the knee, these shorts pair a streamlined, modern silhouette with high-performance golf-specific technology. When you can move better, you can golf better.
UA Storm is Under Armour's proprietary water-repellent finishing technology applied directly to the fabric. It creates a durable barrier that causes water droplets to bead and roll off the surface rather than soaking through, so you stay dry and comfortable even when the weather turns. Critically, UA Storm achieves this protection without blocking airflow or trapping heat — breathability is fully preserved. The treatment used on these shorts is also fluorine-free, making it an environmentally responsible choice compared to traditional PFAS-based DWR coatings. Whether you're caught in a morning shower or dealing with heavy dew, UA Storm ensures light moisture never slows your game.
The stretch-woven twill fabric at the core of these shorts is engineered with 4-way stretch capability, meaning it moves with you in all four directions — left, right, up, and down. On the golf course this matters enormously: a rotational swing demands full hip rotation, knee flex, and wide stance without any pulling or restriction from your clothing. The 10% elastane content woven through the 90% polyester base is what delivers this multi-directional give while still holding the fabric's structured twill appearance. The result is a short that looks sharp at address and performs like performance athletic wear through every swing, walk, and stretch on the course.
The waistband on these shorts is stretch-engineered to accommodate the full range of your movements — bending to line up a putt, twisting through a full backswing, or simply walking the fairway. Unlike rigid traditional waistbands that dig in or restrict, this one flexes with you while maintaining a secure, comfortable fit. Inside the waistband sits a discreet internal grip strip that keeps your polo or performance top neatly in place through every swing. No more shirt pulling out mid-round or requiring a mid-hole tuck. It's a practical, golf-specific detail that makes a real difference over 18 holes.
The Drive Taper shorts feature a fit that gradually narrows from the hips and thighs down to just above the knee — giving a cleaner, more athletic profile than a traditional straight-leg golf short. This tapered construction reduces excess fabric around the thigh and knee, which in turn reduces drag and flutter during the swing, letting you focus on your game rather than your kit. The flat-front panel keeps the look polished and modern, while the four-pocket layout (two front slash pockets, two rear pockets) provides all the practical storage a round of golf demands without adding bulk. This silhouette transitions effortlessly from course to clubhouse.
Under Armour has engineered the main body fabric of these shorts from at least 90% recycled polyester, reducing reliance on virgin synthetic fibres and lowering the environmental footprint of the garment. The recycled content does not compromise performance — the fabric retains the same durability, stretch characteristics, moisture management, and smooth twill finish as conventional polyester constructions. Paired with the fluorine-free water-repellent treatment, these shorts represent a meaningful step towards more responsible performance apparel. Golfers who care about the environment can wear them knowing their kit aligns with their values without sacrificing any on-course capability.
The fabric choice is central to everything that makes these shorts perform. Under Armour selected a stretch-woven twill — a construction that delivers the refined, structured appearance of traditional tailored golf shorts while incorporating the performance stretch that modern athletes demand. The twill weave creates a subtle diagonal texture that looks polished and professional, meeting the dress codes of even the more formal golf clubs, while the underlying stretch technology ensures the fabric never fights your movement. The lightweight nature of the material also means the shorts dry rapidly after washing or exposure to moisture, making them a practical, low-maintenance addition to any golfer's wardrobe.
