Product Insights
The Oakley Take Pro 3.0 Stretch Golf Short undercuts comparable Adidas and TravisMathew shorts by $40-$45 while delivering DWR, 4-way stretch, silicone waistband, anti-microbial treatment, and a 9-inch inseam—features typical of $70-$90 shorts. Its 4-way stretch enables a full golf swing without binding and holds its shape through multiple seasons, while the silicone waistband grip keeps shirts tucked in. The DWR coating sheds light rain and morning dew (not fully waterproof), and the polyamide fabric wicks moisture and dries quickly; dynamic ventilation creates micro-gaps for cooling. However, maintaining the DWR requires machine washing and low-heat drying, and the water repellency is limited to light conditions.

Deep Research
Durability and long-term wear
- At 89% nylon — a fiber known for high abrasion resistance — the Take Pro 3.0’s fabric outlasts polyester-dominant golf shorts under the friction of bag straps and cart seats, while the 11% spandex is knitted into the 4-way stretch rather than added as a superficial coating, so the recovery and shape hold up for multiple seasons without sagging.
Value at the sale price vs. alternatives
- The Take Pro 3.0's US street price has fallen to $29.97–$31.95 at Golf HQ, Dunham's, and Golf Locker — roughly 53–55% off its $64.99 MSRP — which is the same dollar amount as a basic cotton-blend chino short from mass-market brands, yet it retains a water-resistant 4-way stretch polyamide/elastane shell, an engineered silicone-grip waistband, and anti-microbial treatment that are typically reserved for shorts in the $65–90 range.
- At $49.95 CAD, the Take Pro 3.0 undercuts the Adidas Ultimate365 5-Pocket short by $45 CAD (regular $95 CAD) while matching its water-repellent finish and four-way stretch, and adds an anti-microbial treatment the Adidas lacks — delivering the same on-course fabric performance for the cost of a mid-range golf polo.
- The original $64.99 USD price placed the Take Pro 3.0 in the same performance bracket as the TravisMathew Beck ($86) and Adidas Ultimate365 ($70–90); on clearance it now costs less than half of those, while keeping the same engineered waistband and water-resistant four-way stretch — the only thing that's been downgraded is the price tag.
Fit profile, sizing accuracy, and silhouette
- The 9‑inch inseam (roughly 23 cm) cuts just above the knee on most golfers, imparting a contemporary, clean‑legged look that stays clear of the knee during the swing, making it equally at home with a golf polo or a casual tee.
- Made from 89% polyamide and 11% elastane with true 4‑way stretch, the fabric stretches horizontally and vertically, giving the shorts the mobility of performance gear while maintaining the crisp, non‑baggy appearance of a tailored short.
Water repellency and how to maintain it
- The 'waterproof treatment' is a durable water repellent coating applied to the full-stretch polyamide fabric; water beads and rolls off while the fabric remains breathable, prioritizing golf-friendly mobility and ventilation over full waterproofing like a rain suit.
- The care instructions—machine wash normal, tumble dry low, no bleach, prompt removal, cool iron—are gentle on the DWR finish; tumble dry low in particular aids in re-activating the water-beading performance after washing, so the shorts maintain their repellency with standard laundry.
- The high polyamide (nylon) content makes the fabric naturally hydrophobic and quick-drying, so even if the DWR finish wears off, the shorts won't cling or feel heavy when exposed to moisture—an asset for early-morning rounds or passing showers.
Breathability and moisture control on hot days
- The short's feature list explicitly includes 'breathable fabric,' signaling that its knit construction was engineered for ventilation rather than simply relying on the synthetic yarns' inherent openness — crucial for releasing heat and vapor when walking the course under a midday sun.
- Nylon's hydrophobic fibers actively wick moisture and dry substantially faster than cotton or polyester-dominant fabrics, so the short sheds sweat rather than holding it against the skin — a critical property for maintaining focus on the closing holes of a summer round.
- Because the 4-way stretch moves fluidly with every swing and stride, the fabric repeatedly separates from the skin, creating micro-gaps that draw in fresh air and speed evaporative cooling — a subtle but meaningful advantage over static fabrics that can trap heat within the short.

I weigh 235, used to be 260 and wore a 38 when bigger. Bought a 38 as wanted room for movement golfing, yet these were so tight I could barely do up the waist.
Q&A
