Golf Locker Men's Shorts Size and Fit Guide
Golf Locker Exclusive Sizing Guide - Men's Golf Shorts
At Golf Locker we know that fit is important. We’ve created our custom Golf Locker Sizing Guide to help you get your ideal fitting golf shorts. We’ve measured every pair of golf shorts in our warehouse, and created 3 fit categories based on each shorts’ rise and 3 fit categories based on each shorts’ leg opening at the thigh.
Before selecting your size from the dropdown menu at the top of the page, click on the size guide link to the right of the menu to see the exact measurements taken in our warehouse. Below are the descriptions of each of the fits.
What is rise?
Rise is the distance from the middle of the crotch seam (right between your legs) to the top of the waistband. Short rise is important because it not only determines where the shorts sit on your body, but the amount of fabric and space that’s available.
Standard Rise: We base our Standard Rise on the game’s most popular golf shorts, the Nike Dri-FIT Flat Front Tech golf shorts. Fitting comfortably at your natural waist, these golf shorts are ideal for a traditional, classic look. Any guy can wear these shorts as they provide some room for comfortable movement without too much extra fabric.
Modern Rise: Our Modern Rise features shorter distance from the crotch to the waistline, which provides you with a fit closer to the body. These golf shorts are particularly great for men with shorter legs, as they visually shorten the torso and balance your waist-to-hip ratio.
Extended Rise: Our Extended Rise golf shorts are designed to provide longer distance from the crotch to the waistline in order to provide extra room and comfort. These golf shorts are ideal for tall guys, as they can still be worn comfortably at the waist, rather than low on the hips.
Men’s Leg Opening:
Standard Fit: We base our Standard Fit on the game’s most popular golf shorts, the Nike Dri-FIT Flat Front Tech golf shorts. These golf shorts provide just enough leg room so that they fit nicely without being too tight or too loose. These are the perfect go-to for any guy that’s looking for a comfortable, timeless look that’s great for everyday wear on or off the golf course.
Slim Fit: Our Slim Fit golf shorts feature a slightly narrower cut through the thigh and legs for a more modern, tailored look. Great for thin guys who want to avoid a saggy look and could benefit from a little less extra fabric, these golf shorts are ideal if you’re trying to be on-trend.
Loose Fit: Our Loose Fit golf shorts are designed with a relaxed cut that provides extra space for easy movement and comfort. These golf shorts are ideal for muscular and/or burly guys who benefit from a roomier feel through the thigh region, while still keeping you looking current.
