Avid Sanibel Pacifico Polo
Built for the Water Lifestyle
The Avid Gear Sanibel Pacifico Polo pairs bold tropical style with genuine performance engineering. The all-over painterly leaf print delivers a South Florida aesthetic that transitions from the dock to dinner without missing a beat, while the technical fabric keeps you comfortable through long days on the water or in the sun.
50+ UPF Sun Protection
With a UPF 50+ rating, the Pacifico Polo blocks more than 98% of UV radiation, giving you meaningful protection during extended time outdoors. This is not a marketing claim bolted onto a fashion fabric -- the 89% polyester, 11% spandex construction is purpose-built to deliver that protection session after session, wash after wash.
4-Way Stretch Performance Fabric
The blend of polyester and spandex produces genuine 4-way stretch that moves with you rather than against you. Strategic seams are placed to support natural body movement, so casting, paddling, or simply reaching overhead does not pull the shirt out of shape. The athletic fit is trim without being tight -- it stays tucked if you want it tucked, and it does not balloon when worn untucked.
Moisture-Wicking and Quick-Dry Construction
The fabric actively wicks perspiration away from the skin and releases it to the surface where it evaporates quickly. A DWR (durable water repellent) finish adds a layer of water resistance at the surface, helping the shirt shed light spray and splashes. Lightweight and breathable, it does not trap heat the way cotton does, making it a practical choice for warm, humid climates.
Easy Care
The Sanibel Pacifico Polo is machine washable and wrinkle resistant, so it stays presentable whether it comes straight from a bag or off a boat. No ironing required, no special handling -- pack it, wear it, wash it.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a good brand of polo shirts for outdoor and water activities?
- Avid Gear is a strong choice for water-lifestyle polo shirts. Their performance fabrics include 4-way stretch, moisture-wicking quick-dry construction, and 50+ UPF sun protection -- features that matter when you spend extended time on the water or in direct sun.
- What polo shirts are the best for sun protection?
- Look for polos rated UPF 50+, which block more than 98% of UV radiation. The Avid Gear Sanibel Pacifico Polo carries a UPF 50+ rating and is built from a polyester-spandex performance blend that maintains that protection through regular washing.
- How does the Avid Gear Sanibel Pacifico Polo fit?
- It is an athletic fit -- trim through the chest and shoulders without being tight. Strategic seams support a full range of motion, so it moves comfortably whether you are on the water or heading out for the evening.
- Is the Avid Gear Pacifico Polo machine washable?
- Yes. It is machine washable and wrinkle resistant, so it requires no special care. Wash as usual and it comes out ready to wear.
- What does DWR finish mean on a polo shirt?
- DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It is a finish applied to the fabric surface that causes water to bead up and roll off rather than soaking in. It is not the same as waterproofing, but it helps the shirt shed light spray and splashes during water activities.
- Can the Avid Gear Sanibel Pacifico Polo be worn casually off the water?
- Yes. The tropical print and classic polo collar make it appropriate beyond the boat -- it works for casual dining, beach bars, or any warm-weather outing. The wrinkle-resistant fabric helps it stay presentable after being packed or stored.
