Product overview
Designed for demanding environments where physical activity meets professional presentation, the Uneek UC127 Mens Ultra Cool Workwear Poloshirt is a performance-driven garment. Engineered from a 200 GSM 100% polyester pique, this shirt is purpose-built to manage moisture through advanced wicking properties, ensuring the wearer remains dry during long shifts in the warehouse or on active work sites. Unlike standard cotton polos, the UC127 focuses on breathability and rapid drying without compromising the structural integrity required for daily industrial use.
Customisation: Professional Embroidery and Print
The UC127 is highly versatile for branding, but the 100% polyester pique construction requires a technical approach. For a premium, long-lasting finish, embroidery is recommended; our in-house team utilises high-quality threads that sit securely within the pique weave, providing a tactile and professional logo. However, for large back prints or vibrant multi-colour designs, modern printing techniques are exceptionally effective. At MyWorkwear, we use specialised inks and processes designed for synthetic fibres to ensure maximum adhesion and prevent dye migration, maintaining the shirt's wicking performance while delivering sharp, durable graphics. Our UK-based team, established in 1976, reviews every file to ensure the stitch density or print layer is perfectly calibrated for this 200 GSM fabric.

Design, performance and durability
In real-world applications, the UC127 excels where traditional fabrics fail. The polyester pique is specifically chosen for its durability and resistance to shrinking or fading. The wicking properties work by drawing sweat away from the skin to the surface of the fabric where it can evaporate quickly, making it an essential piece of kit for humid environments or high-intensity roles. The addition of a taped neck and side vents ensures that even after a full day on-site, the garment maintains its fit and provides the necessary range of motion for manual labour.
Measured performance
At 200 GSM, this polo strikes a balance between lightweight breathability and the robustness required for workwear. It offers a more substantial feel than standard athletic wear while remaining significantly more breathable than heavy cotton alternatives. The XS sizing and tailored side vents provide a structured fit that doesn't restrict movement, while the knitted collar ensures the shirt retains a sharp appearance even after repeated wash cycles at 30 degrees.
Pros and cons
Pros: Superior moisture management compared to poly-cotton blends; highly resistant to creasing and fading; excellent surface for vibrant heat-transfer prints.
Cons: 100% polyester requires lower wash temperatures (30°C) to maintain fibre integrity; high-density embroidery may require additional backing to ensure comfort against the skin due to the technical nature of the knit.
Use cases and industry recommendations
This garment is ideal for logistics, delivery services, and facilities management where workers are constantly on the move. It is also a preferred choice for corporate events or tradespeople working in warmer conditions who require a professional appearance without the heat-retention of heavy cotton. Due to its quick-dry nature, it is a staple for multi-shift environments where rapid turnaround of uniforms is required.

Practical advice
When selecting artwork for this polyester polo, consider that very fine detail in print may behave differently on pique textures than on flat knits. If you are working in high-heat environments, we recommend smaller embroidered chest logos to maximise the breathable surface area of the garment. For those in the trade, the UC127's resistance to fading makes it an excellent choice for outdoor work where UV exposure often dulls standard cotton shirts.
