Among sailors around the world they are now a bestseller: we are talking about Helly Hansen’s HP Racing Polos. The secret of success lies in the special technology of the material in which they are made, Tactel / Quick Dry.
A patented ceramic fabric that reflects the sun’s rays, is durable and has high wicking and quick-drying capabilities. This allows polo shirts to dry up to eight times faster than regular cotton-think of the comfort on a boat! And it is odor-free: the fabric is antibacterial and easily washed at low temperature (without the need for ironing).
We asked a few opinions from sailors who wear them on their sea trips and decided to test them in the editorial office as well: opinions converged and confirmed the ease of drying combined with a great softness of the fabric that determines their comfort.
Even under the sun’s rays, the polo provides good protection, with an estimated UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) score of more than 30 (i.e., able to block more than 96 percent of radiation).
The HP Racing polo shirt, which can be customized with graphics and logos (and is available in various colors and sizes, from S to 2XL), is not the only product to use Tactel technology: in the Helly Hansen catalog you will find the Crewline, Crew, HP Ocean, HP Code Zero, Kos, and Driftline models. www.hellyhansen.com
