The ifrothgolf review
The Castore pique performance golf polo, a 100% polyester knit with the brand's OTek anti-odour treatment, aimed at golfers who want a sharp, modern, slightly athletic look on and off the course.
What's great
The thing that keeps coming up from owners is the material quality, and I agree, it punches above a lot of mid-tier golf gear. The pique has proper stretch so nothing pulls across the back on a full swing, and the stand collar is firm enough to hold its shape all day (handy when you are slapping sunscreen on your neck). Side splits at the hem add a bit of room, and the anti-odour treatment genuinely keeps the funk down over 18 holes. Looks smart enough to wear to the bar after.
Worth knowing
It is a more fitted, athletic cut, not the roomy tent a lot of golf polos go for, so if you carry a bit of timber or like it loose, size up. Being full polyester it can feel warm and a touch clammy in proper heat, and like any poly pique it can pill over time if you are rough in the wash. The base price is steep for what it is, so only really makes sense on sale or via the outlet.
The verdict
A genuinely good-quality, good-looking performance polo that I rate, just buy it in a sale and size up if you are between sizes or not built like a whippet.
What reviewers say
Reviewers like the wicking, stretch and sharp fit, though the slim athletic cut runs trim and suits a closer fit.
