If you're still golfing 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 — because when you can move better, you can golf better, too. Crafted from a lightweight, durable stretch-woven twill fabric with UA Storm water-repellent technology, these shorts keep you comfortable and dry from the first tee to the 18th hole. The tapered leg fit offers a clean, modern, athletic silhouette without ever compromising freedom of movement.
UA Storm is Under Armour's signature water-repellent finish, applied directly to the fabric to cause water to bead up and roll off the surface rather than soaking in. Unlike a waterproof membrane that can trap heat, UA Storm maintains the fabric's breathability so moisture vapour still escapes during high-intensity activity. This makes the Drive Taper Shorts ideal for early-morning rounds with dew, light rain, or humid conditions — you stay dry from the outside while remaining cool and comfortable from the inside. The treatment is also fluorine-free, meaning no PFAS chemicals are used in the DWR process, aligning with modern sustainability standards.
The stretch-woven twill fabric at the heart of the Drive Taper Shorts is engineered to flex in four directions — left, right, up, and down — so the material never fights your movement. Whether you're rotating through a full driver swing, stepping out of a bunker, or walking 18 holes in variable terrain, the fabric keeps pace with your body rather than pulling against it. The 10% elastane content is blended seamlessly with the polyester twill to deliver that stretch without any loss of shape or structure, so the shorts look as sharp at the end of a round as they did at the start.
The waistband of the Drive Taper Shorts is specifically engineered to move with you rather than restrict you. Constructed with stretch materials that mirror the flexibility of the body fabric, it expands and contracts naturally through every motion — from address to follow-through. A subtle internal grip strip runs the inside of the waistband to keep your polo or performance top neatly tucked throughout your round, eliminating shirt-tugging between holes. The result is a waistband that feels secure and comfortable simultaneously, providing superior mobility without the usual trade-off between fit and freedom.
The tapered leg cut sets the Drive Taper Shorts apart from the standard Drive straight-leg version. The fit offers genuine room through the seat and thigh — where you need space for movement — but gradually narrows toward the hem for a clean, modern silhouette. The flat-front panel eliminates excess bulk at the waistline and creates a sharp, polished appearance that transitions effortlessly from the course to the clubhouse. The four-pocket layout (two side pockets, one back-left, one back-right) keeps everyday essentials within easy reach while maintaining the streamlined look of the flat-front design.
Under Armour has built the Drive Taper Shorts around a main body fabric that contains at least 90% recycled polyester, diverting plastic waste from landfill and ocean environments and converting it into high-performance athletic fabric. This commitment to recycled content does not come at the expense of performance — the recycled polyester delivers the same lightweight feel, moisture management, and durability as its virgin counterpart. Combined with the fluorine-free water-repellent treatment, the Drive Taper Shorts represent a meaningful step toward more responsible sportswear manufacturing.
At 9 inches (23 cm), the inseam of the Drive Taper Shorts sits at an ideal length for both golf and casual wear — long enough to look polished and professional on the course, short enough to stay cool and unrestrictive during warm-weather rounds. The tapered cut toward the hem means the shorts never look oversized or baggy even at this slightly longer inseam, preserving the athletic, modern aesthetic that the Drive line is known for. Whether you're on the fairway, heading to the range, or stopping for post-round drinks, the length and fit are always appropriate.
