Product Overview
The Fireback Wicking Poloshirt is a performance-driven garment engineered for the modern professional who requires both functionality and a sharp, consistent appearance. Developed as part of the specialized Fireback range, this poloshirt is designed to meet the demands of active work environments where temperature regulation is paramount. The sleek black-on-black aesthetic ensures a versatile, low-profile look that serves as a premium foundation for company branding, while the wicking technology ensures the wearer remains comfortable from the start of the shift to the finish.
Key Features
- Advanced Wicking Technology: The fabric is specifically engineered to transport moisture away from the skin to the surface of the garment, where it can evaporate quickly, keeping you dry during physical exertion.
- Breathable Performance Fabric: The knit structure facilitates superior airflow, which is essential for preventing overheating in high-intensity roles or warmer working conditions.
- Lightweight Construction: Designed for agility, the fabric offers a lightweight feel that doesn't restrict movement, making it ideal for trades that require a full range of motion.
- Ribbed Collar and Placket: Provides a structured, traditional poloshirt silhouette that maintains its shape even after repeated wear and industrial laundering.
Design & Performance
In terms of performance, the Fireback Wicking Poloshirt excels where traditional cotton shirts often fail. While cotton retains moisture, becoming heavy and cold, this performance-based fabric remains lightweight and dry. The material is chosen for its high durability and resistance to pilling, ensuring the garment survives the rigours of daily work without losing its professional edge. The deep black dye is selected for its colorfastness, meaning your uniform will look just as professional after months of use as it did on day one.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This poloshirt is an excellent candidate for customisation, offering a stable surface for various branding techniques. We recommend embroidery for a sophisticated, executive finish; the structure of the wicking fabric provides a firm base for high-density stitching of company logos or staff names. If you require larger, high-impact graphics, our printing services deliver vibrant, durable results that move with the fabric. Our in-house team, based in Telford and operating since 1976, handles all customisation to ensure the highest standards of quality control.
Use Cases
This garment is perfectly suited for delivery drivers, facility management teams, and tradespeople working in indoor environments. Its sleek appearance and performance characteristics also make it a popular choice for staff in leisure centres, gyms, or as a modern alternative for hospitality uniforms where a traditional shirt may be too restrictive.

Practical Advice
The XS size is tailored for a precise fit. Given the performance nature of the wicking fabric, it is most effective when worn relatively close to the skin. If you are between sizes or prefer a more relaxed fit for layering over a base layer during winter months, you may wish to consider moving up one size. This poloshirt pairs excellently with technical work trousers for a fully functional professional uniform.
Caring for your product
To preserve the technical integrity of the wicking fibers, we recommend a domestic wash at a moderate temperature. Excessive heat can degrade the synthetic fibers responsible for moisture transport, which would eventually reduce the garment's performance capabilities.
It is vital to avoid using fabric softeners during the wash cycle. Softeners leave a waxy residue that coats the fibers and clogs the 'pores' of the wicking fabric, effectively trapping moisture against your skin and nullifying the garment's primary benefit. For the best results, air dry the poloshirt to maintain the shape of the collar and the vibrancy of any custom embroidery or print.
