The ifrothgolf review

TravisMathew's everyday performance polo, built around their stretchy Heater fabric. It is a polyester, cotton and spandex blend with four-way stretch, a soft hand feel, and a structured collar that uses built-in stays and a double-needle stitch to keep that crisp clubhouse look. The cut is a regular fit rather than athletic-tight, and the styling deliberately steers away from looking like dedicated golf kit.

What's great

The fabric is the headline. It genuinely moves with you through a swing and stays soft and breathable on warm days, and the slight cotton content gives it a more premium, less plasticky feel than pure-polyester rivals. The collar is the other standout. Where most polos go limp and floppy after a dozen washes, the Heater holds its shape thanks to the collar stays. It also wears well as a smart-casual shirt away from the course, so you get more wear out of it.

Worth knowing

It is a premium price for a polo, and you can find technically similar four-way-stretch shirts for less if the brand cachet does not matter to you. The regular fit runs a touch generous and boxy, so anyone after a trim, tapered silhouette may want to size down or look elsewhere. Colour and pattern availability varies a lot by retailer, so the exact shade you want is not always in stock in your size. It also leans casual, so it will not satisfy clubs with strict plain-collar dress codes.

The verdict

One of the better do-everything polos out there. You are paying up for the fabric and the collar that survives the wash, and if both matter to you it earns its keep. If you only ever wear it on the course and want the cheapest competent stretch polo, your money goes further elsewhere.
