Tek Gear DryTek Polo Shirt – Moisture-Wicking Performance Polo
Our DryTek Polo combines technical performance with versatile style. This moisture-wicking polo moves sweat away from your skin so you stay dry during your toughest workouts, then transitions seamlessly to casual weekend wear.
The core of every tek gear polo is our DryTek fabric system. We engineer this 100% polyester interlock knit to create channels that actively transport moisture away from your body to the outer surface, where it evaporates quickly.
Sizing & Fit Guide
We cut the DryTek Polo with a relaxed athletic fit that skims the body without clinging. Size medium measures 22 inches across the chest and 29 inches from shoulder to hem. The armholes sit higher than a traditional polo to eliminate excess fabric during arm movement.
For the best fit, measure your chest at the fullest part and compare to our size chart. If you typically wear between sizes, we recommend sizing up for a looser fit or staying with your usual size for a closer athletic cut. Detailed measurements for every size appear in our tek gear sizing guide.
Performance Features for Active Wear
This polo delivers measurable performance benefits beyond basic moisture wicking. The fabric carries a UPF 30+ rating, blocking over 96% of UV rays during outdoor training or weekend activities. We treat the polyester with an antimicrobial finish that inhibits odor-causing bacteria growth between washes.
The shirt’s quick-dry capability means you can rinse it in the sink after a morning workout and have it ready to wear again by afternoon. Air circulation through the interlock knit prevents the clammy feeling that traps heat against your skin. These technical features make the DryTek Polo a practical choice for travel when you need versatile pieces that perform double duty.

Common Questions About the Tek Gear DryTek Polo
The DryTek Polo maintains its original size when you follow care instructions. Wash it in cold water and tumble dry on low heat. The 100% polyester construction resists shrinkage unlike cotton blends. We pre-shrink the fabric during manufacturing so the measurements you see are what you get after washing.
DryTek polyester moves moisture to the surface 3-4 times faster than cotton. Cotton absorbs sweat into the fibers and holds it against your skin, while DryTek creates channels that transport moisture outward where air circulation evaporates it. The synthetic fabric also dries completely within an hour after washing, compared to several hours for cotton.
Yes, the interlock knit construction allows air to circulate while the moisture-wicking treatment pulls sweat away from your body. The UPF 30+ rating blocks harmful UV rays without trapping heat. Many customers wear this polo for outdoor activities in temperatures above 85 degrees and report staying cooler than in traditional cotton shirts.
We currently offer the DryTek Polo in eight colors: classic black, navy, heather navy, charcoal gray, white, royal blue, forest green, and burgundy. Color availability varies by season and size. All colors feature dyed-through polyester that resists fading even with frequent washing and sun exposure.
The ribbed knit collar has enough structure to stand properly when the placket is unbuttoned, but it’s not stiff or uncomfortable. The collar flexes naturally with your neck movement and returns to its original shape after washing. It won’t curl up at the edges like some performance polos with fused collars.
Regular length measures 29 inches from shoulder to hem in size medium and works for most men 5’8″ to 6’1″. Tall sizes add 2 inches of length in the body and sleeves for men over 6’1″ or those who prefer extra coverage. If you’re borderline, consider whether you typically tuck in your polo shirts – regular length works well untucked while tall sizes provide more fabric for tucking.
The tight interlock knit construction resists pilling significantly better than jersey knit polyester. We use continuous filament yarn rather than spun fibers, which eliminates the loose ends that cause pilling. After dozens of wash cycles, the fabric surface remains smooth. Washing the polo inside out and avoiding fabric softener further extends its appearance.
