Product Overview
The Stormtech Eclipse H2X-Dry Pique Polo is a sophisticated piece of performance workwear designed for those who require a balance between professional appearance and athletic functionality. This lightweight polo shirt utilizes a micro-pique weave that offers a textured, high-quality finish while remaining exceptionally breathable. It is engineered for the active professional, featuring Stormtech’s proprietary H2X-DRY moisture management system to ensure you remain cool and composed throughout the working day, regardless of the physical demands of your role.
Key Features
- H2X-Dry Moisture Management: This advanced fabric technology wicks perspiration away from the skin, accelerating evaporation to keep the wearer dry and comfortable during high-intensity tasks.
- Micro-Pique Polyester: The 100% polyester pique construction provides a durable, hard-wearing surface that resists snagging and maintains its shape over time.
- Tailored Rib-Knit Collar: The substantial rib-knit collar is designed to retain its structure, preventing the 'curling' often seen in lesser-quality polo shirts and ensuring a sharp appearance.
- Side Hem Slits: These reinforced vents at the side of the garment allow for a greater range of movement and ensure the polo sits neatly over the hips when untucked.
- 3-Button Placket: Provides a classic aesthetic and allows for manual ventilation control, making it adaptable to various temperature environments.
Design & Performance
Crafted from a lightweight polyester fabric, the Eclipse H2X-Dry Polo is designed to be barely felt while providing the durability expected of a daily uniform. The micro-pique knit is specifically chosen for its performance characteristics; it offers the airflow of a traditional pique but with a smoother, more modern hand-feel. This garment is constructed to be a solid, hard-wearing choice for teams who are frequently on the move. The inclusion of tailored elements, such as the rib-knit collar, elevates the garment from a standard sports shirt to a professional piece of business attire that performs under pressure.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This polo shirt is an excellent canvas for customisation, accommodating both print and embroidery with ease. For a traditional and authoritative business look, we recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team uses high-tensile threads to ensure your logo remains crisp and professional wash after wash. The pique weave provides a stable base for intricate needlework, making it ideal for breast logos or staff names.
If your branding requires large, vibrant graphics or high-visibility messaging, our precision printing processes are equally effective. Because this garment is 100% polyester, we use specialized inks that bond with the fibres to maintain the fabric's natural flexibility. All customisation is managed in-house by our expert team, drawing on nearly five decades of experience since our founding in 1976.
Use Cases
The Stormtech Eclipse is ideally suited for client-facing roles where physical activity is a factor. It is a popular choice for technical engineers, event staff, and retail teams who need to stay cool while maintaining a smart aesthetic. Its moisture-wicking properties also make it a superior choice for corporate golf days or as part of a leisure-based uniform for health and fitness professionals.
Why MyWorkwear
Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been a cornerstone of the UK workwear industry. Operating from our specialized facility in Telford, we combine decades of technical knowledge with the latest garment technology. We understand that your uniform is a reflection of your brand's standards, which is why we meticulously oversee every stitch and print to ensure it meets our rigorous quality benchmarks.
Practical Advice
This polo is designed with a standard fit, making it suitable for layering under a softshell jacket or sweatshirt during cooler months. The lightweight nature of the fabric means it dries exceptionally quickly after washing, making it a practical choice for employees with a limited uniform rotation. For those between sizes, the generous side slits provide extra room around the waist and hips.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-performance moisture-wicking properties of the H2X-Dry fabric, we recommend a machine wash at 30°C. Washing at higher temperatures can cause unnecessary stress to the synthetic fibres and may affect the longevity of any applied customisation.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will degrade the polyester fibres and cause significant colour fading, potentially ruining your company branding. When ironing, use a low heat setting and avoid direct contact with any printed areas to prevent the heat from lifting the design.
This garment should not be tumble dried. The heat of a tumble dryer can lead to shrinkage and may damage the technical micro-pique weave. Instead, hang the polo to air dry; the lightweight fabric will dry quickly on its own. Finally, do not dry clean this garment, as the harsh chemicals used in the process are incompatible with the technical finish of the fabric.
