Men's moisture-wicking polo shirts sit at the intersection of two needs: they have to look sharp enough for a customer-facing role and perform well enough for a full day on the move. The Sport-Tek performance polo in the Bear Grips Pro Shops catalog is built for exactly that. Here is what to know before ordering it for a team.

Sizing and Fit

The performance polo runs true to size for most builds, with a wider range available for bigger frames. Sizes and exact fit vary slightly by color and print run, so check the size chart on the product page before ordering for a full team. For a closer look at how the polo fits larger sizes, see the big and tall guide.

Custom Branding Options

Embroidery holds up better than print on this fabric because the stretch knit can crack a printed design faster than it would on cotton. Left chest placement is the standard, professional finish. See the design ideas guide for a full breakdown of placement and color choices.

Buying for a Team or Company

There is no minimum order. A nine-person sales team and a ninety-person staff order both pay the same $34.88 VIP base per shirt, and new hires can order the same polo anytime after the initial order. See the no-minimum ordering guide for the full breakdown, or the pricing guide to plan out retail price and margin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the men's performance polo true to size?

It runs true to size for most builds. Fit can vary slightly by color, so check the size chart on the product page, especially for a full team order.

What is the largest size available?

Sizing extends to larger builds, shown live on the product page. See the big and tall guide for more detail on fit at larger sizes.

Can I embroider my company logo on it?

Yes. Embroidery is available with unlimited thread colors, and it is the more durable option on this stretch performance fabric compared to print.

How is it different from a cotton pique polo?

The performance polo wicks sweat and dries fast, built for movement and heat. A cotton pique polo, like the Gildan pieces in the catalog, is heavier and more traditional but does not wick moisture the same way.
