Product Overview
The Under Armour UA Tech polo is a cornerstone of technical apparel, specifically engineered to serve as the primary garment for active professionals and sports-oriented teams. Developed from the original "go-to" training gear, this polo shirt balances a lightweight feel with substantial performance capabilities. It is designed with a loose fit to provide maximum range of motion, ensuring that the wearer remains cool and comfortable even during strenuous physical activity or long shifts in warmer climates.
Key Features
- UA Tech Fabric: A specialised polyester construction that provides a soft, natural feel while maintaining technical performance.
- Loose Athletic Fit: This design ensures freedom of movement and enhanced breathability, preventing the fabric from clinging during exertion.
- Moisture Management: The fabric is engineered to keep the wearer cool and dry by managing moisture effectively.
- Extended Size Range: Available from Small to 3XL, catering to a wide range of body types for a consistent team appearance.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% polyester, the UA Tech polo is built for durability and resilience. The fabric is notably lightweight, making it an ideal choice for environments where breathability is paramount. Unlike standard cotton polos, the technical polyester used here does not absorb moisture, which means the garment remains light and comfortable throughout the day. The loose-cut design is intentional, allowing air to circulate around the body to aid cooling, which is essential for those working in active or outdoor roles.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth finish of the UA Tech fabric makes it an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery customisation. For companies looking to achieve a traditional, high-end professional appearance, embroidery is highly recommended for company logos or staff names. The fabric's weave supports dense stitching well, ensuring your branding remains sharp and durable.
Alternatively, for larger designs or more vibrant promotional graphics, high-quality printing is an effective option. All customisation is performed in-house at our Telford facility by our expert team, who have been perfecting garment branding since 1976. This ensures that your technical workwear arrives with a finish that matches the quality of the Under Armour brand.
Use Cases
This polo shirt is versatile enough for a variety of professional and leisure settings. It is particularly well-suited for golf clubs, sports teams, and leisure centre staff who require a smart appearance but need the performance of activewear. Additionally, it serves as an excellent summer workwear option for tradespeople or corporate staff attending outdoor events where heat management is a priority.

Practical Advice
The UA Tech polo is designed with a loose fit, which is ideal for layering over base layers in cooler weather or wearing on its own for maximum ventilation. When choosing your size, consider that the generous cut is intended to provide comfort and movement. If you prefer a more tailored appearance, you may wish to review the chest measurements provided in the sizing guide.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical performance and longevity of your Under Armour polo, it is essential to follow the specific care instructions provided. A cold machine wash with similar colours is recommended. Using cold water prevents the polyester fibres from breaking down and helps preserve the integrity of any custom embroidery or print.
Do not use fabric softeners, as these chemicals can coat the fibres and significantly reduce the fabric's ability to wick moisture and keep you cool. Similarly, avoid the use of chlorine bleach, which will damage the colour and structure of the synthetic material.
This garment should not be ironed, as high heat can melt the technical fibres and ruin the finish of the fabric. For the same reason, dry cleaning must be avoided to prevent exposure to harsh chemicals that are incompatible with performance polyester.
