At Bows & Boats we are firm believers that anytime you set foot on a golf course you need to be wearing a collared shirt.  It doesn’t matter if you are playing, or simply a spectator in the gallery, the least you can do is throw on a polo.  Of course, a day on the course normally leads to sweating so a breathable shirt is absolutely key.  There are a number of solid options when it comes to “performance” polos, but one that really stands out from the crowd is the Prep-Formance Shirt ($70) by johnnie-O.  Luckily for us, our friend Quinn over at the brand sent us a couple to check out.

The first thing you will notice about the Prep-Formance shirt is that it doesn’t look like your standard performance polo.  While most performance shirts have a bit of a sheen to them, the Prep-Formance does not, it looks like a pique version of another one of our johnnie-O favorites, the 4-button. Made of extremely breathable polyester, the shirt is very light weight, and will keep you cool on the hottest of days.  The Prep-Formance shirt is currently available in three colors (Light Blue, Navy, White), each with two options when it comes to logo color.  While the color selection may be a bit slim for now, we have a good feeling that these shirts are going to be a huge hit for johnnie-O, and if that is the case it is probably a safe bet to say more colors are on the horizon.  If you are planning on hitting the links anytime soon, we highly recommend picking up a Prep-Formance or two, you absolutely won’t be disappointed.  If you aren’t a golfer, we still recommend picking up a shirt or two, it is never a bad thing to stay cool on a hot summer day.
