Description of Sport-Tek K469 / #K469
Mesh is the secret weapon of anyone who works outside in August. The Sport-Tek K469 Performance Polo Shirt Dri-Mesh is made from a 3.8-ounce polyester double-knit mesh, which is a fancy way of saying it’s full of tiny openings that let air move through while the fabric pulls sweat off your skin. Umpires, golf course staff, landscapers, car wash crews, anyone whose “office” has a heat index, this one’s for you.
It still looks like a real polo, which is the nice part. The flat knit collar holds its shape, the three-button placket has pearlized buttons that catch the light a little, and there’s tape inside the neck so the seam doesn’t rub after hours of turning your head. Side vents at the hem give you room to bend and reach, the sleeves are open at the cuff so they don’t grip your arms, and Sport-Tek double-needle stitched the arm seams, shoulders and hem, which are the spots that usually give out first on a lightweight shirt.
Taller folks can grab the tall version, and there’s a women’s V-neck cut in the same mesh, so nobody on the crew gets stuck with a fit that doesn’t work.
