This is the winner when compared to a 100% polyester shirt.
About me: Adult male office worker. I take showers at least once per day and use deodorant. TMI? Well, just keep reading...
I purchased three PGA TOUR Golf Air Flux Short-Sleeve Solid Polo Shirt, Caviar, X-Large and three Hanes Men's X-Temp Performance Polo, Black, XX-Large on the same day. I did this because I wanted to compare the two shirts.
Both fit well. Both seem to be of good construction and quality fabric.
There is, however, one major difference: The PGA TOUR shirts have accumulated a STINK over the past few months. The 100% polyester PGA shirts now have "an odor" whereas the 90% cotton/10% polyester Hanes shirts do not.
How am I doing laundry? I throw them into the washing machine and then into the dryer. Yes, I know, I've checked the internet and found out that I can de-stinkify polyester shirts through a simple process of soaking them for a few hours in a mixture of hot water, vinegar, and Listerine mouthwash. It really does work...temporarily. Thing is, I just want to do my laundry and not make an all-day affair out of it.
CONCLUSION: My experiment was a success. I will purchase more of the Hanes and will NOT purchase any more of the PGAs.
