Haggar Cool 18 Pro Classic Fit Flat Front Golf Pant (Style 8978)

In this review of the Haggar Men's Cool 18 Pro Classic Fit Flat Front Casual Stretch Performance Golf Pant, the bottom line is simple: these are a versatile, comfortable pant for men who need a neat dress-pant look with athletic movement. The biggest reason to buy is the hidden expandable waistband that provides up to 3' of stretch, making these ideal for all-day wear whether at the office or on the golf course. The fabric's moisture control and UPF protection keep the wearer comfortable and presentable through a long day.

Key Features

• COOL 18 PRO fabric: Lightweight polyester keeps you cool and wicks moisture so you stay dry during activity or long workdays.
• 100% Polyester construction: Durable, soft-feeling material that resists soil and remains easy to care for with machine washing.
• Hidden expandable waistband: Gives up to 3' of extra give in the waist for improved comfort when bending, sitting, or walking the course.
• Flat front classic fit: A tidy, traditional silhouette that moves easily from office settings to casual golf rounds without looking too sporty.
• UPF protection and soil release: Added sun protection and fabric treatment help maintain appearance and performance over time.

Who It's For

These pants are best for men who want a dressy but comfortable pant that can handle light athletic movement, such as golfing or walking between meetings. The classic fit and flat front make them appropriate for business casual environments, while the performance fabric serves well for weekend activities.

Those who prefer natural fiber pants or need a very formal dress pant with wool or a crease that cannot be washed may want to look elsewhere. Also, buyers needing extremely long inseams or a tapered athletic cut should verify fit, as feedback shows length and fit can vary between customers.
