What’s a performance polo shirt? It’s the perfect work shirt for public safety officers of all kinds – police, security guards, correctional officers – as well as fire, rescue, and emergency medical services personnel.

It’s also ideal for anyone who wants a functional, durable polo. Performance polo shirts are great for a round of golf, an afternoon out fishing, or even just a few hours outside where you need to look professional. Propper performance polos have unique benefits – here’s an explanation of different types so you can compare more easily.

EdgeTec Polo

A premium polo shirt that resists snags and pilling, wicks sweat away, and keeps you cool with stretch-comfort polyester fabric. It’s also anti-odor, and has flatlock seams that are more smooth and comfortable for officers’ polo shirts.

I.C.E. Performance Polo

A more heavy-duty option than the EdgeTec, the I.C.E. polo helps you look professional while staying comfortable. “I.C.E.” stands for “integrated cooling effect,” a reference to its stay-cool features: wicking technology on the fabric, breathable mesh underarm gussets, and a split hem.

The mic clip on the shoulder also comes in handy for professionals using communications equipment on the job.

Summerweight Polo

Anti-odor and (of course) lightweight, these are the go-to shirts to keep you looking fresh in warm weather. The fabric has an ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of 30, so they get the Skin Cancer Foundation’s Seal, of Approval – keeping you safer even after hours outside.

They’re also snag- and pill-resistant, with an ultra lightweight back and underarm to keep you as cool as possible.

Snag-free Polo

If you’ve lost too many good shirts to snagged or torn fabric, you should probably just get a few of this polo. It’s 100 percent polyester double pique knit, meaning it’s a substantial fabric that stands up to snags and fits well. Perfect for officers who wear body armor, or anyone who needs a sharp-looking uniform shirt. Despite the durable fabric and construction, it’s also lightweight and breathable.

What do Propper performance polo shirts have in common?

Public safety personnel, firefighters and EMS workers need durable, comfortable uniform polo shirts. But they also need to look professional after long hours on the job. Details matter: If the shirt's too flimsy, doesn't hang right, or lacks the right features, your tough job gets even tougher.

Here’s our rundown of different types of Propper uniform polos, so you can select which ones work best for you and your team.

(Note that all these shirts come in long- or short-sleeve options, and we carry varieties for men and women.)

I.C.E. Performance Polo

These are heavy-duty and durable, but also built to wick away moisture. “I.C.E.” stands for “integrated cooling effect.” This shirt is intended to keep you cool and looking professional – we know officers wear our shirts for long hours on duty, so we created this specifically to make those shifts as comfortable as possible.

Gusseted underarms help you stay mobile and keep the shirt as breathable as possible. Plus, it has an eyeglass loop in front, pen pocket on the sleeve, and mic loop on the shoulder so you can keep everything handy.

EdgeTec Polos

Lighter than the I.C.E. Performance Polo, it’s breathable and professional-looking, with the benefit of pill- and snag-resistant fabric. Its fabric is a polyester blend with 8 percent spandex jersey, so it’s stretchier than other polo options.

EdgeTec shirts are also extra-comfortable and provide a wide range of motion thanks to flatlock seams that won't chafe.

Duty Uniform Armor Shirt

Stay cool – and professional-looking – even after hours of wearing body armor. The Duty Uniform Armor Shirt is made out of a polyester/cotton ripstop blend that resists pilling and snagging, and the anti-odor properties of the fabric are a benefit anyone can appreciate.

The Duty Uniform Armor shirts have woven collars and sleeves for a polished look. And they'll keep looking good, too — the Teflon soil and stain protector helps bad smudges or stains bounce right off. The epaulet and badge tab kits will make sure you can complete the outfit while on duty.

Snag-Free Polo

An all-purpose take on the anti-snag, anti-odor, quick-drying polo – good for professionals of all types. Wears well under body armor, but with a double pique knit weave for a slightly heavier feel than the Duty Uniform Armor Shirt.

Uniform Polo

Your budget-friendly option, but it still has all the high-quality essentials. Made of light and wrinkle-resistant 100 percent polyester fabric, it has a ribbed knit collar and sleeve cuffs. It also has a few touches that most professionals find handy – store your eyeglasses on the front loop and stash your pens on the sleeve pocket.

Uniform Cotton Polo

Especially meant for firefighters and first responders – professionals who need to avoid synthetic fabrics at work work. This shirt’s 100 percent combed cotton is both comfortable and durable. The mic clip slots at the shoulder helps keep your comms equipment handy, plus the collar stays and pen pocket on the sleeve keep you professional-looking.

Security Uniform Polo

BDU Pants or Trousers were the combat uniform pants for the US Military. All branches of the US Military wore BDUs, or Battle Dress Uniforms, from the early 1980s until the early 2000s. BDUs are cargo pocket pants built with durability and function in mind. Because the military needed to issue uniforms to a large population in all shapes and sizes, BDUs were alpha-sized with side-adjustment tabs at the waist and blousing straps on the leg openings.

They have a six-pocket design with field-repairable button closures on the pockets and fly opening. Made with felled inseams and bartacks at all stress points, these pants were designed to hold up to hard work. BDUs were originally issued to soldiers in Nylon/Cotton Summer Ripstop, Nylon/Cotton Winter Weight Twill, or in some cases 100% Cotton Ripstop. Most common camouflage patterns of this BDU era were Woodland, Desert Camouflage 6 Color, or Desert Camouflage 3 Color.

EMT pants are an essential part of the uniform for emergency medical technicians. The right pair of EMT pants can make a significant difference in how comfortable and effective you are in performing your job. With so many options available on the market, choosing the right EMT pants can be overwhelming. Here are some factors to consider when selecting the right EMT pants for your needs.

Comfort

Comfort is one of the most important factors to consider when selecting EMT pants. EMTs often work long hours, and comfort is crucial to staying focused and effective on the job. Choose pants made from breathable, moisture-wicking fabric that will keep you cool and dry, even in the heat of summer. Look for pants with stretch or gussets in the crotch and knees for added flexibility and ease of movement.

Durability 

EMT pants should be made from durable materials that can withstand the rigors of the job. Look for pants made from ripstop fabric or other reinforced materials that are resistant to tears and abrasions. This will ensure that your pants can withstand the demands of the job and last for an extended period.

Pockets 

EMTs carry a variety of equipment and supplies with them on the job, and having ample pocket space is crucial. Look for pants with plenty of pockets, including cargo pockets, hip pockets, and thigh pockets. These pockets should be strategically placed for easy access to essential items like gloves, scissors, and penlights.

Visibility 

EMT pants should be highly visible to ensure that you are easily seen by motorists and other emergency responders. Choose pants in bright, high-visibility colors like yellow, green, or orange. These colors will ensure that you stand out in any environment, whether working on a busy street or in a remote location.

Standards

 Compliance Ensure that the EMT pants you choose comply with industry standards and regulations. Look for pants that meet NFPA 1999 or ANSI/ISEA 107 standards. These standards ensure that your pants meet specific safety requirements, including flame resistance, visibility, and reflectivity.

There are several essential features that a good flight suit should have:

Comfort: The flight suit should be comfortable to wear for long periods of time, especially during long flights. It should have plenty of ventilation and not be too restrictive.

Durability: A flight suit should be made of durable materials that can withstand the rigors of aviation. This includes materials that are resistant to tearing, fading, and staining.

Functionality: A good flight suit should have practical features such as pockets for storing tools and other equipment, as well as zippers and snaps for easy access.

Safety: A flight suit should be designed with safety in mind. It should have reflective strips or other visibility-enhancing features to make the wearer more visible in low-light conditions. It should also have fire-resistant materials to protect the wearer in the event of a fire.

Fit: A flight suit should fit well and be easy to adjust for comfort. It should also have a good range of motion so the wearer can move freely and comfortably.

Customization: Many flight suits offer customization options such as embroidery or patches for personalization and identification.
