Haggar Men's Cool 18 Pro 4-Way Stretch Golf Shorts - Flat Front Fit

Our review of the Haggar Men's Cool 18 Pro 4-Way Stretch Golf Shorts finds them ideal for active men who want comfort and simple, wearable style on the course or at casual summer events. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of four-way stretch and quick-dry fabric that moves with you while wicking moisture, so these shorts stay comfortable through a round of golf or a long, warm day. They feel lightweight yet structured and require minimal care since they are machine washable.

Key Features

• 4-Way Stretch: Fabric stretches in every direction to allow unrestricted motion during swings or walking without feeling tight.
• Moisture Wicking: Quick-dry sorbtek polyester blend pulls sweat away from the skin so the shorts dry faster and feel cooler.
• UV Protection: Built-in UV protection helps reduce sun exposure during long hours outdoors.
• Expandable Waistband: Waistband stretches up to 3 in for added comfort after meals or while sitting.
• Thoughtful Details: Offseam front pockets, a single welt back pocket and a roll hem provide practical use and a clean appearance.
• Easy Care: Machine washable gabardine fabric keeps these shorts low maintenance for frequent wear.

Who It's For

These shorts are best for men who play golf, spend time outdoors, or need a smart casual short for summer dates and family events. The straight fit that is relaxed through the hip and thigh suits those who prefer a classic look and movement without a slim, tight cut. The lightweight fabric and UV protection make them especially useful for warm-weather activities.

Those who want a very tailored, slim or fashion-forward short should look elsewhere, and shoppers needing technical weatherproofing or insulated performance gear will not find those features here. If you require an inseam other than the offered 10.5 in or a different fabrication, consider other options.
