HyperNatural. Polyesterfreie Golfhemden. Kein Plastik, keine Chemikalien oder schädliche Farbstoffe.

Almost every golf shirt on the course is plastic. Here is what polyester actually does to you in the heat — and what a natural performance alternative looks like.

HyperNatural.  Polyester free Golf shirts.  No plastics, no chemicals or harmful dyes.
95 % der Golfausrüstung besteht aus Plastik-Polyester. Da Sie im Sommer Plastik tragen und es nicht gut atmet – bringt es Sie zum Schwitzen. Es trocknet dann schneller, weil es Plastik ist. Synthetische Materialien halten Gerüche extrem gut zurück. Polyester ist sinnlos, wenn Sie sich kühl fühlen wollen. Warum nicht auf natürlich funktionierende Materialien setzen, die 20x besser atmen, sich kühl auf der Haut anfühlen und Körpergeruch auf natürliche Weise widerstehen – ohne diese unangenehmen Chemikalien und Erdölfasern.

We spent two years at the yarn level developing patent-pending natural performance fabrics from jade minerals, chitin and Supima® cotton — because performance should not require polyester plastic.

Polyester-free golf shirts: common questions

Are polyester-free golf shirts actually cooler than polyester?

Yes. Polyester is a plastic fiber, so it blocks airflow and holds heat against your skin. HyperNatural knits are lab tested to be 20x more breathable than polyester, and the jade minerals in Hyper-Cool Jade® conduct heat away from the body for a surface temperature up to 5° cooler.

What are HyperNatural golf shirts made of?

Our micro-pique polos blend Supima® cotton with jade minerals and chitin derived from crab shells. The cooling and anti-odor performance is built into the fiber at the yarn level, so it never washes out. There is no polyester, no plastic and no chemical performance coating.

Do natural fiber golf shirts hold odor?

The opposite. Synthetics are notorious for permanent odor because bacteria cling to plastic fibers. Chitin is naturally antimicrobial and reduces odor-causing bacteria by 99%, so the shirt stays fresh through a round and a car ride home.

Do your golf shirts contain PFAS or other forever chemicals?

No. Every HyperNatural fabric is OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified, which tests the finished textile for harmful substances including PFAS, BPA and restricted dyes. We do not use chemical wicking or water-repellent finishes to fake performance.

Why is almost all golf apparel made from polyester?

Cost and convenience. Polyester is cheap to produce, easy to dye and dries fast, which made it the default for performance apparel. Fast drying is not the same as staying cool, and the tradeoff is a plastic layer that traps heat and holds odor.

Are these polos appropriate for private clubs and dress codes?

Yes. Our polos are cut as traditional collared golf shirts in classic and slim fits, with a clean micro-pique finish. Esquire called our polo the best on the planet, and it reads as a premium club shirt rather than technical gear.

How do you care for a polyester-free golf shirt?

Machine wash cold and tumble dry low. Because the performance is engineered into the fiber rather than applied as a coating, the cooling and anti-odor properties do not degrade with washing, and the shirt sheds no plastic microfibers into your machine.
