Product Insights
The Macade Four-Way Stretch Golf Short is a lightweight 165gsm woven poly-spandex shell engineered for warm, humid play: it is breathable, quick-drying, moisture-managing, and its four-way stretch holds a structured drape that resists sagging and bagging over a season. A silicone-gel waistband keeps a tucked polo secure, but there is no drawstring or elastic adjuster, so fit depends entirely on waist size, and no pocket is zippered or otherwise secure. It offers no DWR coating, meaning only the quick-dry shell handles moisture, not rain. At 79.95 CAD with free standard shipping and no minimum to the US, Canada, and Mexico, it is priced well below Simons' 120 CAD listing for the same short, yet Macade's 30-day free returns are far shorter than Quince's 365-day window, making first-time online sizing riskier. Only Off White and Navy/Midnight Blue in sizes 30, 32, and 34 are available.

Macade joggers comfortable and versatile
I have these Macade Joggers in black and navy. I just fit into their largest size. They’re comfy. I even wore them to the office followed by a 3 hour flight a couple of weeks ago.

Four-way stretch joggers run true to size
I have the four way stretch joggers and they run true to size. They initially looked like they could be a bit small but they’re very stretchy. For reference I find that the golf lines of sports brands like Adidas, Puma, etc. run large.
u/bbplante28r/WomenGolfView thread →
Macade sizing slightly small and overpriced
I buy a decent bit of their stuff. I’m a woman and typically wear an XS but I wear a S in Macade tops. They do seem to run slightly small, but similar to Wilson if you’ve bought from them before. I’m a size 1-2 bottoms and wear an XS in Macade. The quality does seem good, but I do think they’re a little overpriced.
