The Coolest Pieces of Gear We Tested This Week

Cali brand Linksoul makes casual, beach-inspired golf gear for the rest of us: real, practical, and natural. It’s pro-level golf gear—clothes, to be sure, but also golf bags, umbrellas, and even amazing woods handcrafted from North American persimmon trees—that never takes itself too seriously. (Their motto is “Make Par Not War.”) But I’m loving these Bamboo Stretch 5-pocket Pants. They’re cut to a modern fit, with narrow-ish calves and leg openings but with plenty of room in the rear and crotch—the perfect amount of give and stretch for grinding out the last ten yards of an approach, or just lounging around the yard. They’re made of 69 percent garment-dyed cotton canvas, with a touch of spandex for stretch; 29 percent bamboo makes them incredibly soft. I’d walk 18 in these, any day.—Jon Langston, Commerce Editor
