Product Insights
The I.FIV5 Patterned Textured Golf Polo, an exclusive Simons house brand designed in Canada, offers superior stretch and recycled content compared to mass-market alternatives like Adidas, with a spandex-blend that enables a full golf swing and a closer performance fit. Its recycled nylon resists pilling and abrasion, while an odor-treatment lasts the lifetime of the garment, allowing multiple wears between washes—saving water, energy, and reducing microplastic release. Certified skin-safe by bluesign, Oeko-Tex, and REACH, the polo requires specific care: cold machine-wash with a mesh bag, no fabric softener or bleach, and air-drying (never machine-dry or direct sun) to preserve its stretch and shape.

Deep Research
How this polo stacks up against competitors at the sale price
- The I.FIV5 polo is a house exclusive designed in Canada for Simons, meaning it cannot be found at other golf retailers — for a Canadian shopper, the $39.95 sale price buys a locally-designed product with a unique patterned texture unavailable through global mass-market brands.
- The I.FIV5’s 12% spandex content delivers more dynamic stretch than the Adidas Go-To (7% elastane) and vastly more than the cotton-dominant Twistknit Trefoil Polo (84% cotton, 16% polyester) — enhancing mobility through the golf swing without relying on a looser cut.
- Where the Adidas Go-To Printed Polo — discounted to $49.99 CAD — lists no antimicrobial finish among its specs, the I.FIV5 includes Polygiene® odor-control technology, giving it a functional advantage in heat and humidity that is simply absent from this similarly priced competitor.
- At $39.95 CAD, the I.FIV5 combines 88% reprocessed nylon with 12% spandex, while the Adidas Go-To (sale $49.99) uses 74% recycled polyester with 19% cotton and 7% elastane — the I.FIV5 not only packs a higher proportion of recycled fiber, but nylon’s inherent toughness gives the fabric a more durable hand than polyester/cotton blends in active wear.
I.FIV5 as a Simons house brand and what exclusivity means
- Simons has been a family-run Canadian department store since its founding in Quebec City in 1840, and I.FIV5 was launched as its in-house men's activewear line — meaning this polo comes from a retailer with deep regional roots that curates its own labels to reflect a particular Québécois design sensibility rather than relying solely on global brands.
- At launch, I.FIV5 was positioned as an affordable activewear line with prices spanning $8 to $65, whereas this golf polo lists at $89 (sale $39.95), signaling that the brand has expanded upward into more technical, sport-specific pieces — so the buyer is accessing a more design-evolved tier of the label.
- The brand name 'i.fiv5' was directly inspired by the high five gesture, a visual shorthand for celebrating achievement, as confirmed by the creative director at Bleu Blanc Rouge — so wearing this polo carries a subtle, positive connotation that sets it apart from purely descriptive sports branding.
- The visual identity of I.FIV5 draws from both real athletic fields and imaginary ones, as stated by a Simons buyer at the brand's launch, giving the collection an aesthetic that merges sport functionality with creative flair — a point of differentiation from the straightforward performance look of many golf polos.
Proper care to keep the texture and stretch intact
- Nylon fibers inherently retain less odor than polyester, so this polo starts with a natural freshness advantage that Polygiene then amplifies, meaning you can wash it less aggressively without residual smells.
- Fabric softener leaves a residue on nylon-spandex that compromises the polo’s moisture wicking, makes the fabric feel stiff, and can trap odor — a single wash with softener is enough to start the process, and after 10–15 cycles the fabric may feel clammy rather than breathable.
- At 12% spandex, this polo’s care must follow spandex rules rather than nylon rules: spandex begins to degrade above 40°C and loses elasticity permanently if machine dried, so cold-water washing and air drying protect the shirt’s stretch and recovery far more than if the dominant nylon fiber set the pace.
- In a nylon-spandex knit, dryer heat attacks spandex first, causing it to contract and pull the nylon fibers along, which permanently distorts the fit — the shirt can become smaller yet also baggy in spots, a telltale sign of heat-damaged elastane.
- Washing this polo in a mesh laundry bag shields the textured surface from snagging on zippers and rubbing against denim or towels, which is the quickest way to pill the fabric and prematurely age the pattern.
- Direct sun during air-drying not only fades the black color but also heats the spandex through UV exposure, so drying the polo indoors or in the shade keeps the dye deep and the stretch lively for more seasons.
- Although the care tag permits wringing, many fabric technologists advise pressing water out between towels or gently squeezing rather than twisting; aggressive wringing can snap spandex fibers over time, leading to a loss of recovery and a roughened surface.
Polygiene odor control: how it works and real-world effectiveness
- The treatment is integrated into the fabric during finishing and, per Polygiene, remains effective for the entire lifespan of the garment — meaning the odor control won't wash out or degrade over seasons of regular laundering.
- In a field test where a Polygiene-treated synthetic shirt was worn for 8 straight days of daily runs and work, the fabric developed only the same level of odor that an untreated synthetic would reach after a single long run — confirming that the polo can realistically go multiple wears between washes without turning sour.
- Polygiene has undergone sensitivity testing and is formulated to remain active only in the textile, so it doesn't interfere with the skin's natural bacteria — meaning it's safe for all-day wear directly against the skin, even for those with sensitive skin.
- The Polygiene treatment holds bluesign approval for responsible manufacturing, Oeko-Tex Eco-Passport certification for chemical safety, and EU REACH compliance — third-party assurances that the odor-control technology meets rigorous environmental and health standards, not just a marketing claim.
- By extending the number of wears before needing a wash, Polygiene reduces water and energy consumption while also cutting the microplastic fiber release that occurs during synthetic laundering — complementing the recycled nylon construction's sustainability story.

Q&A
2 answered- How does the standard fit compare to other golf polo brands? Should I size up or down if I'm between sizes?
- This polo has a standard fit that runs true to size. The recycled nylon blend with 12% spandex gives it good stretch, so if you're between sizes, we recommend sizing down for a closer fit. It's comparable to other standard-fit golf polos from brands like Nike or Adidas in terms of overall cut and room.
- Can this polo be machine washed and dried, and does the Polygiene treatment require any special care to maintain odor control?
- Yes, this polo can be machine washed on a regular cycle. However, it should not be machine dried — the care instructions specify to wring out and hang to dry. No special care is needed for the Polygiene odor-control treatment; simply wash as usual, and avoid bleach to maintain the fabric and treatment.
