Product Review: Fila Golf Madrid Polo

Fila Golf's Madrid Polo

It’s a sweltering day on the course. Your $400 driver, graphite-shafted irons and pro-level golf balls have you brimming with confidence in today’s match. You even have teflon-coated, state-of-the-art tees. So why are you wearing that cotton polo?

A golfer can give himself every advantage through equipment, and sabotage a round once the sweat begins to add up and collect on/in his shirt. Start thinking about apparel as another vital piece of equipment ... Fila Golf does.

The Madrid Polo, for instance, combines moisture wicking and anti-bacterial technologies into an extremely stylish top. It has a contrasting self collar and hidden zipper placket, and contrasting mesh shoulder yoke and side panels.

The old guard will argue the benefits of cotton “breathing.” Poppycock! The sweat gathers on the surface, leading to a wet, weighted-down shirt. Try making a swing with that added to your handicap. The Madrid (and other summer shirts from Fila Golf) draws moisture and sweat away from the body by transferring it to the fabrics’ outer layer, allowing it to evaporate quickly. The wicking fabrics dry very rapidly, keeping you cool, dry, and comfortable during any activity.

Other arguments against advanced-technology clothing is the funky smell that develops as the sweat is pulled away from the body or their delicate nature ... not lasting as long as their cotton compadres. Fila Golf has that answered, too. The anti-bacterial finish is highly effective for eliminating bacteria causing perspiration odors, and has excellent washing durability.

Environmentally conscience? These shirts are made with an eco-friendly fabric which has been manufactured from 100 percent recycled pop bottles. According to Fila Golf, this unique recycling process converts post-consumer plastics into high-quality performance yarns, making the fabric extremely soft.

We’ve provided several tangible arguments for choosing Fila Golf’s summer shirts over a traditional cotton polo. Here’s an aesthetic reason: They look great. An old Saturday Night Live skit used to claim “It’s better to look good than to feel good.” In The Madrid you can do both.

American Golfer recommendation: Stock your closet with summer shirts from Fila Golf. What you wear can be just as important as what you swing. Play better and look better with Fila Golf.
