Lululemon Evolution Polo Review

Polo · 14 rounds in my bag

8.3/ 10

The short version

I did not expect much from the Lululemon Evolution Polo, then the fabric moves with the swing instead of pulling across my back. It came out of the bag after a hot round without that stale-shirt smell. The catch: it wrinkles in the car if you leave it folded.

How it played

No lab and no press-release numbers here: 14 rounds, real turf, real nerves. What I keep coming back to is that the fabric moves with the swing instead of pulling across my back. Where it bit me: it wrinkles in the car if you leave it folded — worth knowing before you spend the money.

How it looks

Cut like a normal shirt rather than a billboard. I care less about that than how it feels, but it does not hurt.

What won me over

the collar keeps its shape after washing
it does not hold odour
it stays cool through a hot round

Good to know before you buy

the length runs a touch short
it creases easily in a bag

My verdict

8.3/10 from me. If you want to look tidy without playing in a sauna, the Lululemon Evolution Polo earns its spot in the bag. If the length runs a touch short is a dealbreaker for you, keep looking.
