At the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando this past January I did my usual stop at the OGIO booth to see what cool new golf bags or accessories they were presenting. I was surprised by what I found: new OGIO golf apparel. At the time I wondered what they were thinking. The golf apparel market is flooded. Now that I’ve had a chance to do my first OGIO apparel review, I’m happy they entered the golf apparel market. Here’s why:

OGIO Roller Polo

OGIO Roller Polo

The new OGIO Roller Polo ($80 retail) is a short sleeve golf shirt made from 100% polyester. I really like polyester vs cotton. The benefits of a “poly” are great: no shrinking like cotton, no wrinkles like cotton, lasts much longer than cotton, wicks moisture away from the body unlike cotton. So if you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m not a cotton fan.

Looks/Comfort

This shirt is very good looking and stylish. Love the knits and trim. The fabric is amazingly soft.  It feels softer than just about any cotton, bamboo or silk golf shirt I’ve worn.

Other Benefits

In addition to all the great benefits above, the Roller Polo provides UV (ultraviolet) protection. Anti-microbial qualities in the fabric keep the polo fresh.

Sizes/Colors

The Roller Polo comes in the following sizes: small, medium, large, X large, XX large.

Roller Polo colors: Alloy, Alloy Black, Blueprint (pictured), Signal Red

On The Course

The most important qualities a polo can offer me on the course are, in this order of importance: performance, comfort, style.

In the performance area, this polo is fantastic. During all parts of the golf swing the polo never binds or catches. No tight spots.

In the comfort department, as mentioned previously, the fabric of this shirt is mega-soft. This polo is one of the most comfortable golf shirts I’ve ever worn.

In the style department, this baby is uber-cool.

Conclusion

There is a lot of trial and error when creating a new product line. OGIO has done a fantastic job with their new apparel line and the Roller Polo is a fine example.  The Roller is stylish, comfortable, easily cared for, and high performance.

Well played OGIO.  Well played.
