Polo Shirts

What Makes a Men’s Polo Shirt Suitable for Sports?

There are few garments with a history as closely linked to sports as polo shirts. The name refers to a sport in which it is a standard part of the kit, and you can find various polo shirts among our men's golf clothing. Today, polo shirts are often worn as casual clothing. Thanks to the combination of their smart appearance of the collar and the mobility of fabrics, polo shirts are also popular as workwear. Originally, however, polo shirts were designed as tennis shirts. So without polo shirts, our collection of men’s tennis clothing and padel clothing simply would not be complete.

Until the early twentieth century, tennis players wore shirts with long sleeves, which they rolled up during matches. These shirts did not breathe well and were fairly heavy, which was a major issue for tennis players at the time. Seven-time Grand Slam champion René Lacoste was tired of his cumbersome tennis outfit and, in the late 1920s, designed his own tennis shirt, now known as the polo shirt. The collar can be worn up to protect your neck from the sun. The ribbed cuffs prevent the short sleeves from rolling up, and the fabrics are simply more comfortable.

The fact that we still wear the polo shirt today, around a century after this type of sports shirt first appeared on the market, says enough about how suitable polo shirts are as sportswear. At the Airforce Sport online store, you can therefore find an extensive collection of men’s polo shirts in various designs. They will all support you in the moves you make on the golf course, padel court or tennis court. That way, you can be sure you will be able to exercise comfortably for a long time.

What Are Airforce Sport Men’s Polo Shirts Made From?

At Airforce Sport, we only use high-quality fabrics, because only then can we guarantee that your new men’s polo shirt will offer the mobility and comfort you need when playing golf, tennis or padel. Another major advantage of the quality of our fabrics is that our men’s polo shirts will last a very long time. They can take a hit and continue to look stylish for years. You will not need to replace an Airforce Sport polo shirt any time soon; you can continue to benefit from the comfort and the stylish look of our men’s polo shirts for years.

Most of our men’s sports polo shirts are made from a blend of nylon or soft polyester with elastic fibres, such as elastane or spandex. This gives our polo shirts a certain amount of stretchiness, allowing them to move along with the movements you make, even when you suddenly have to stretch to reach a ball. At Airforce Sport, we also select our fabrics based on how they feel against your skin. You can therefore wear our men’s polo shirts while moving intensively, without having to worry that the fabric will start to chafe and cause skin irritation.

Some of our men’s polo shirts are made from fabrics treated with Polygiene Stay Fresh technology. In practice, this means that the microbes and bacteria that cause unpleasant odours cannot settle into the fabric. This prevents them from growing further, so your sports polo shirt stays fresh for longer. This also benefits your comfort, especially if you plan to practise sports for a longer period of time. We cannot prevent you from sweating when you exercise, because that is part of sport, but we can make it less unpleasant in this way.

Combining Men’s Polo Shirts with Other Sportswear

Although functionality plays an important role in the design and production of our men’s polo shirts, we also want you to look good when you wear Airforce Sport garments. That is why our men’s sports polo shirts are available in various neutral colours that can be matched with virtually any other colour. Naturally, we also take this into account when designing our men’s sports trousers. For the golf course, for example, you will find various smart long trousers for men that allow you to complete your golf outfit. On the tennis court, you may prefer our men’s sports shorts.

Our men’s sports trousers are available in the same colours as our men’s sports polo shirts. If you wear sports trousers in the same colour as your polo shirt, the result is always a sports outfit that looks calm and elegant. However, dark sports trousers with a brighter polo shirt, or vice versa, can look just as stylish. For the moments between periods of heavy physical exertion, or on your way to your sports club, we also offer sports jackets for men. These are made from water-repellent, windproof fabrics to protect you as well as possible from our unpredictable weather.
