Engineered for Performance

The Gildan DryBlend Jersey Knit Polo is a hybrid garment that bridges the gap between the casual comfort of a t-shirt and the formality of a collar. Designed for operational roles where heat management is a priority, this polo utilises Gildan's DryBlend technology. This system leverages the hydrophobic properties of the 50% polyester content to wick moisture away from the body, ensuring staff remain dry and focused even during intense physical activity or in warm retail environments. Unlike traditional pique polos which have a textured waffle weave, this garment features a Jersey knit. This results in a smoother, flatter fabric surface that is inherently flexible and resistant to snagging. With a substantial weight of 193gsm, it is durable enough to withstand daily wear and industrial laundering, yet light enough to remain breathable. It is an essential component for any Polo Shirts procurement strategy focused on functional performance.

Comfort & Workforce Utility

For the wearer, the Jersey knit construction offers a familiar, soft hand-feel similar to a high-quality t-shirt, which can be preferable for staff with sensitive skin who find pique fabrics abrasive. The shirt is side-seamed, providing a structured fit that reduces twisting and allows for a full range of motion. Aesthetic details such as the three woodtone buttons add a touch of classic styling that elevates the garment above standard utility wear. The contoured welt collar and cuffs are designed to hold their shape, ensuring the wearer looks presentable from the start of the shift to the end. Additionally, the clean-finished placket with a reinforced bottom box adds durability to the button area, preventing tearing under stress. This polo is the ideal solution for teams that require the smart appearance of a uniform but demand the comfort of activewear.
