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.
- Odor
Multiple wears between washes with no odor; treatment lasts lifetime.
Why this is supported
An independent eight-day wear test found that the Polygiene-treated shirt
I’d say the shirt smelled as bad as a non-Polygiene shirt might after one long run.
outsideonline.com, indicating that the odor control allows multiple wears between washes. The manufacturer states that
Polygiene StayFresh technology is embedded in textiles to provide freshness for the entire lifespan of most products.
polygiene.comNo special care is needed beyond regular washing without bleach, and the nylon-rich fabric provides inherent odor resistance, with Polygiene amplifying the effect. For context, a similarly-priced Adidas polo at $49.99 CAD does not include an equivalent antimicrobial finish, making this a functional differentiator at the sale price.
- Safety
Skin-safe and certified by bluesign, Oeko-Tex, REACH.
Why this is supported
Polygiene treatment is skin-safe and does not interfere with natural bacteria:
Polygiene® StayFresh is only active in the material so it doesn’t interfere with any natural bacteria on the skin.
polygiene.comIt also holds independent certifications:
bluesign, which promotes consumer safety, low impact manufacturing and responsible use of resources; Oeko-Tex Eco-Passport which supports responsible manufacturing and supply chains; and we have REACH compliance
polygiene.com.
- Environmental
Fewer washes needed: saves water, energy, reduces microplastic.
Why this is supported
By enabling multiple wears between washes, Polygiene reduces laundry frequency. This directly translates to environmental savings:
reducing your energy and water consumption, plus using less detergent. Fewer washes also means reduced levels of plastic microfibres are released into the environment.
yahoo.comThis complements the recycled nylon fabric’s sustainability profile.
- Material
Superior stretch and recycled content vs Adidas's polyester/cotton blend.
Why this is supported
The merchant's product is listed with 88% reprocessed nylon and 12% spandex. In comparison, the Adidas Go-To specification shows
- 74% polyester (recycled), 19% cotton, 7% elastane
justgolfstuff.ca, confirming a lower recycled content (74% vs 88%) and less stretch fiber (7% vs 12%).
- Exclusivity
Exclusive Simons house brand designed in Canada, unlike mass-market Adidas.
Why this is supported
The product is labeled as
i.FiV5 by Simons: an exclusive designed in Canada
modesens.com, meaning it is only available at Simons and designed with a regional aesthetic, in contrast to the widely available Adidas Go-To.
- Washing
Machine-wash cold; skip fabric softener and bleach; use a mesh bag.
Why this is supported
The 12% spandex content dictates cold-water washing and prohibits fabric softener and bleach; a mesh bag is recommended to protect the textured knit.
In these blends, the spandex component is the most heat-sensitive element, and care instructions should be dictated by the spandex content regardless of what the dominant fiber is.
zonglitex.comNever use fabric softener or dryer sheets on spandex. These coat the fibers and reduce elasticity, causing the fabric to feel stiff and lose its recovery over time.

Can this polo be machine washed and dried, and does the Polygiene treatment require any special care to maintain odor control?Consider placing your nylon spandex garments in a mesh laundry bag to protect them from friction and tangling with other items.
spandexpalace.com- Drying
Air-dry; never machine dry or expose to direct sun; press water out gently.
Why this is supported
Drying this spandex blend requires care: never machine dry, avoid direct sun, and handle wet fabric gently to avoid damaging the fibers.
Spandex fibers have a much lower tolerance for heat and can degrade, melt, or lose their elasticity permanently. As the spandex contracts or breaks down, it pulls the nylon fibers with it, resulting in a garment that is both smaller and baggy in the wrong places, having lost its snap.
bestdryndryers.comThe manufacturer's own instructions explicitly say it should not be machine dried and to wring out and hang dry, but wringing is cautioned against by fabric experts.
Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric, as this can damage the spandex fibers.

freedomactivewear.com.au- Sizing advice
Standard fit; size down for a closer fit with 12% spandex stretch.
Why this is supported

It's comparable to other standard-fit golf polos from brands like Nike or Adidas in terms of overall cut and room.
How does the standard fit compare to other golf polo brands? Should I size up or down if I'm between sizes?and that the 12% spandex stretch allows sizing down for a closer fit without sacrificing mobility.
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.
How does the standard fit compare to other golf polo brands? Should I size up or down if I'm between sizes?This stretch outperforms competitors — the 12% spandex delivers more dynamic stretch than the Adidas Go-To (7% elastane) and far more than cotton-dominant polos — and enables a full range of motion through the golf swing even in a close fit. The polo is available in sizes SMALL through XX-LARGE, with a standard fit that runs true to size.
