Product Insights
The Oakley Vardon Johnny-Collar Golf Polo revives the 1950s Johnny collar for breathability, with a buttonless design that transitions seamlessly from course to casual. Its piqué knit provides ventilation through micro air pockets, mechanical stretch for a full shoulder turn, and sweat-wicking performance that minimizes visible marks, while an underarm gusset enables full swing mobility. The tradeoff: the minimalist styling sacrifices traditional collar formality for versatility, and care requires cold wash and low dry to maintain moisture-wicking and SPF 50+ protection.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Vardon Johnny-Collar Golf Polo: Choose this if you want an ultra-simple open-collar polo the retailer describes as elegant on and off the green: it has a pointed Johnny collar with a buttonless V front, a relaxed fit, and an underarm gusset for movement. Its moisture-wicking stretch fine piqué jersey (100% polyester) with Oakley's O Hydrolix technology is intended to keep you cool and dry, and it provides SPF 50+ sun protection. Note it comes in the Ecru/Linen colorway in Large and X-Large only.[1,2] | Pixelated Golf Polo: Choose this if you want a breathable golf polo in a cotton-polyester blend piqué jersey (65% cotton, 35% polyester) with a regular fit, three-button placket, and a muted green pixelated geo pattern on a white base. It also has a hidden glasses hanging tab tucked into the buttonhole, which suits players who want a convenient place to rest their eyewear. It comes in sizes from small to X-large, though availability of specific sizes at any given time is not established.[3,4] | Aero Hydrolix Golf Polo: Choose this if you want a lightweight, regular-fit golf polo built for movement: its four-way stretch fine microfibre jersey is made from recycled polyester, and the Hydrolix system is designed to keep you cool and dry, with added antibacterial treatment and SPF 15+ protection. It has a two-button fold-over collar, straight hem with small side vents, and a quiet look with only a small embossed logo on the sleeve. Note that the swing-improvement benefit is the brand's stated intent rather than a reported result, and the Black colorway tops out at size LARGE, while Pink runs to X-LARGE.[5,6,7,8] |
