I’ve been gaming the Travis Mathew “We Like to Paddy” polo for a couple of months now. It is one of my top go-to shirts, and I have a LOT of shirts. Let’s take a look.

Fabric/Technology

The Paddy (for short) is made from 62% recycled Polyester, 31% cotton and 7% Spandex. The Polyester and Spandex make the polo super easy to mange in terms of washing, wrinkle resistance and not shrinking.

The combo also provides super (really super) comfort and performance.

Style

The cut and fit of this polo is perfect. I’m not big on tight fitting shirts, but I also don’t want a giant, loose fitting frumpy blanket either.  This polo fits is a complimentary way without being too tight, binding, or pulling.

The shirt features a floral print with some subtle yellow and green accents.

Out on the course, or out on the town!

On the Course

You know John Rahm? World #1 golfer that just won the Masters Tournament? He games the Paddy. If the polo works for the #1 player in the world, under all the pressure and varying conditions, it works for me.

The fabric stretches and moves easily with athletic activity, or when lifting a frosty beverage up.  No restrictions and no uncomfortable tightness in the golf swing.

Sizes/Colors

There is one color way available, white. Obviously that’s the color pictured here.

Sizes run from small to 3XL.

Final Thoughts

The We Like to Paddy polo is one of my all-time favorites! It’s a perfect combination of style, performance, comfort, and convenience! Snag one for dad!  Father’s Day is coming up and this polo would make a fantastic Father’s Day golf gift!

I’m always on the lookout for golf clothing that matches my lifestyle and personality. I have tried dozens of brands, and Travis Mathew has stood out for years. Their products are stylish, comfortable, and perfect for both on and off the golf course. Recently I couldn’t help notice the killer styling of newly crowned Masters Tournament champion John Rahm, sporting Travis Mathew apparel.

About Travis Mathew

Travis Mathew is a lifestyle brand that was founded in Southern California in 2007. The brand was created by Travis Johnson and Ryan Ellis, who wanted to create clothing that was stylish, comfortable, and perfect for the modern man’s active lifestyle. Over the years, Travis Mathew has become one of the most popular brands in the golf industry, worn by top players like John Rahm.

What I love about Travis Mathew is their attention to detail. Each product is designed with the customer in mind, ensuring that it meets their needs and preferences. The brand’s commitment to quality and innovation has earned them a loyal following in the golf community and beyond.

First Look at the Travis Mathew Heater Polo

The Travis Mathew Heater Polo is one of the brand’s most popular products, and for a good reason. This golf polo is perfect for the modern golfer who wants to look and feel their best on the course. The Heater Polo is available in a range of colors, from classic black to bold red, so you can choose the one that best matches your style. Sizes range from small to XXXL.

The polo is made from 70% Recycled Polyester, 23% Cotton, 7% Spandex. Polyester and Spandex? Back in the 80’s that meant something a bit different than it does now. These days those fabrics translate to comfort and performance. The material is also moisture-wicking, which keeps you cool and dry even on the hottest days.

Performance Features of the Heater Polo for Golf

The Travis Mathew Heater Polo is designed to perform. The polo has a classic design that is perfect for golfers who want to look their best on the course. The polo features a three-button placket, which gives it a timeless look. The collar is also designed to stay in place, so you don’t have to worry about it getting in your way during your swing.

One of the key features of the Heater Polo is its breathability. The polo has a vented back panel that allows air to circulate, keeping you cool and comfortable during your round. The polo also has a UPF 50+ rating, which means that it provides excellent protection from the sun’s harmful rays.

Style

As with all Travis Mathew polos, the Heater oozes class and style. The lines are clean and elegantly simple.

Stay Tuned

Can’t wait to up my style game and put the polo through the rigorous HOG testing battery. Stay tuned for the full review, which I’ll post after I’ve put the Heater through some test rounds, test washings, and probably test spilling salsa on it.

Here’s a first look from a company I’ve yet to blog about, State and Liberty. I’m putting “The Allen” Heathered Charcoal Tech Polo in play for the first time.

The fabric of this garment is super soft. I’m excited to try it out. First “testing” will be tomorrow. We’re snowed-in, so it won’t be on the course, but just a hang around the house and out on the town Saturday deployment.  Stay tuned for the full review after a few wear/wash cycles!


Puma Invisibonding Golf Polo Shirt

If you’ve thought that Geoff Ogilvy looks stylin’ and you’re not sure why, it is probably because he’s wearing Puma threads.  I’m like Geoff because I’m a happy owner of the new Puma Invisibonding Polo.  Unfortunately I’m not like Geoff in the golf swing department.  He’s got me beat by a factor of about a billion.

Invisibonding?  What the…?

Funny that I used the word threads in the previous paragraph.  I really didn’t plan this, but the threads, or lack thereof are the story with this golf shirt.  Puma doesn’t actually use threads in the seams to put this thing together.  They actually use a form of fabric welding.  Thus the term “invisibonding.”

Now let me be clear.  You can’t see threads, because there aren’t any.  The seams however are visible unlike the term implies.   The crispness and low profile of the seams gives the shirt a very unique look.

On the course

When I first got my Invisibond Polo there was still snow on the ground.  I had to wait on the review for the right conditions.  This isn’t a winter garment by any means.  It is well ventilated and very light on my skin, and not something I’d wear to insulate me and keep me warm.

Now that I’ve been wearing this baby in temps in the 80’s and 90’s I’m a happy camper golfer.  The fabric feels very soft and smooth.  My swing is not restricted at all which is very important for me as a serious golfer.

The classy yet hip syle of this polo make me look good at the 19th hole too, which is good.

Sizes and colors

This $80 Puma Invisibonding Golf Polo is available in small, medium, large, x-large and xx-large.  My unit is the white (obviously from the photos) but there is a black version and an orange one called “flame orange.”

Conclusion

This is one of my all time favorites in my vast collection of golf polos.  I really like wearing the Invisibonding Polo.  I’ll be working on picking up the other two available colors soon.

Critiques

I have no critiques for this great golf polo.  I DO however have critiques about the Puma web site.  There is way too much fancy Adobe Flash content.  Too many animations, bells and whistles.   I don’t want to watch things fly around my screen doing flips and loops.  Get me to the stuff I want to see now!
