Performance / quick-dry
Lighter, quicker to dry, still a uniform
A training polo and a front-desk polo are different garments. This is the one for the days when the wearer is moving, outside, or in a warm room for eight hours.
What the lighter knit is for
Our performance range runs 175–200 gsm in moisture-wicking polyester knits. It dries faster than piqué cotton and weighs less in a kit bag, which is why clubs use it for training and travel while keeping a heavier knit for clubhouse and committee wear.
Sublimation works well on these fabrics: the design sits in the fibre rather than on top of it, so there is no hand-feel and no cracked print after washing. Screen print and embroidery are also possible, though a dense embroidered crest needs a stabiliser on a lighter knit — we add it at the decoration station and say so on the job card.
Moisture management and antibacterial performance have been verified by a third-party laboratory and the report is available on request. We do not claim an international certification we cannot show you a certificate for, and we will not relabel a national test method as an international one. If your tender requires a specific standard, tell us before sampling and we will tell you whether we can meet it.
Where buyers use this range
- Club training and travel kits, mixed with piqué for match-day and clubhouse wear.
- Outdoor staff, warehouse teams, event crews and golf days in warm weather.
- Full-sublimation designs where the pattern runs across the collar and placket.
- Programmes that need S–5XL in the same fabric and the same colour standard.

Performance questions
Do you have AATCC or ISO test reports?
We hold third-party laboratory reports for moisture management and antibacterial performance and will send them on request. Our existing documentation is based on Chinese national test methods; we do not present it as AATCC or ISO certification. If your procurement requires a specific standard, we can discuss commissioning that test.
Ask us on WhatsAppWill embroidery pucker on a 180 gsm knit?
It can. We stabilise the decoration area and reduce stitch density for large crests on lighter fabric. For very dense artwork we will recommend a woven badge or sublimation instead.
Ask us on WhatsAppCan the whole garment be printed?
Yes — see the sublimated range. Collar, placket and body are printed as one piece, so there is no white edge at the seam and no colour break between body and trim.
Ask us on WhatsAppTell us the climate and the job.
We will say honestly whether a performance knit or a piqué cotton is the better blank for it.
