Under Armour Charged Cotton Polo test in 37ºC.
I was one of the chosen few & received my polo shirt a few weeks ago but decided not to use it until I was playing in proper heat. I played last week in Spain & it was 37ºC.......and I don't do heat!
The shirt looked good, although the colours were slightly bland, and it felt very soft to the touch.
Once on I was a bit concerned that the buttoned opening was fairly short, only 3 buttons, but this was quickly forgotten. It felt extremely comfortable & looked pretty cool, if not very bright........so off we went to play golf.
It was on the 9th tee that one of my partners mentioned the heat, and my word, it was very hot & I'd worked up quite a sweat on my head & face..................and then it hit me.
I noticed something quite bizarre, I first realised that my shirt was dry, (the previous day my shirt was soaked after two holes), but more remarkably, I could feel cool air circulating under the shirt. It was similar to when I once wore a Greg Norman straw hat & could feel cool air swirling around my scalp, but this was under a shirt...........it was awesome.
The next day, just as hot but in a different shirt, I was soaked after just a couple of holes again and this just reinforced my opinion of the shirt.
They claim this shirt is made from 'soft cotton'.....it is soft.
They claim this shirt wicks moisture away............it wicks gooooood.
They claim this shirt keeps you drier....................it does, drier than an Arab's sandal.
They claim this shirt keeps you cooler..................it does, somehow.
I claim this shirt is superb...................................it is, it just is.
Oh, and would I recommend it, damned right I would, in a heart beat.

P.S. Thanks GM & UA for the opportunity to test the polo, I'm very grateful, I'm also pretty honest & my review is just that. If I'd not been impressed with it, I'd have let you know that too!
