Product overview
The Uneek UC128 Ladies Ultra Cool Workwear Poloshirt is a high-performance garment engineered specifically for the modern professional woman who requires both a tailored fit and technical functionality. At a robust weight of 200GSM, this 100% polyester pique shirt is built for active roles where moisture management and thermal regulation are paramount. Unlike standard cotton polos, the UC128 utilizes advanced wicking properties to draw perspiration away from the skin, ensuring the wearer remains dry and comfortable during long shifts in demanding environments.
Customisation: Professional Branding on Technical Fabrics
This garment is exceptionally versatile for corporate branding, supporting both embroidery and print methods. For a premium, long-lasting finish, we recommend embroidery; the 200GSM polyester pique provides a stable base for high-stitch-count logos, ensuring the fabric doesn't pucker under the tension of the needles. Our in-house team uses high-quality threads that maintain their colour even after frequent industrial laundering.Alternatively, for large-scale back prints or vibrant multi-colour designs, heat-applied film and screen printing are highly effective. Because this is a 100% polyester 'Ultra Cool' fabric, our production experts utilize low-temperature curing processes to ensure the print adheres perfectly without compromising the fabric's wicking performance or causing 'ghosting' on the black polyester base.

Design, performance and durability
Performance is at the heart of the UC128 design. The polyester pique knit is inherently more durable and resistant to fading than cotton equivalents, making it an ideal choice for black workwear that needs to look 'as new' after multiple wash cycles. The side vents provide a non-restrictive fit, allowing for a full range of motion whether you are working in a warehouse, on-site, or in a busy retail environment. The taped neck prevents the seam from irritating the skin during high-activity tasks, ensuring comfort from the start to the end of the day.
Measured performance
Weighing in at 200GSM, this polo sits in the 'heavyweight' category for performance polyester, offering a substantial feel that resists snagging better than lighter-weight alternatives. The 100% polyester composition ensures zero shrinkage and excellent dimensional stability. The 'Ultra Cool' technology is measured by its ability to transfer moisture rapidly, which is critical for maintaining a stable core temperature in both humid and high-activity settings.

Use cases and industry recommendations

Practical advice
When ordering the UC128, consider that polyester does not have the same natural 'give' as cotton-elastane blends; check the size guide to ensure the 3XL provides the required movement for your specific role. To prolong the life of printed logos on this technical fabric, always wash the garment inside out and avoid fabric softeners, which can coat the polyester fibres and reduce their wicking efficiency.
