This H2H Active Slim Fit men's polo shirt is made of 100% polyester which is lightweight, soft and easy to dry, yes this material is suitable for sports. But I don't like this polo shirt. First of all, too much overlap and stitching doesn't make this shirt as flat, I would have preferred a solid color overlap over the shoulders and underarms; Then the material is very soft, you must be strong enough to hold it, then this could be a good tight polo shirt for you. two different size charts confuse me, i don't know which size to choose.
