The Collar That Defines a Polo -- And Outlasts the Competition
Most fishing polos treat the collar as an afterthought. We treat it as the foundation. Our ribbed collar construction uses a proprietary 2x2 rib knit structure that maintains its shape cast after cast, wash after wash.
| Feature | Industry Standard | Runfish Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Rib Structure | 1x1 basic rib | 2x2 reinforced rib |
| Collar Recovery | 85% after 50 washes | 98% after 100 washes |
| Yarn Composition | 100% Polyester | Poly-Spandex blend |
| Edge Finishing | Single needle | Double needle reinforced |
Matec M-RIB 3200 Collar Knitting Machine | Stoll CMS 503 hp Flatbed Knitter
Collar height: 7cm +/-0.3cm | Elasticity retention: >95% after 100 wash cycles | Shrinkage: <2%
Logos That Pop -- Literally. The Art of 3D Puff Embroidery
Flat embroidery is fine. But 3D puff embroidery? That's the difference between a logo and a statement. By placing a foam underlay beneath the embroidery thread, we create dimensional logos that catch light, command attention, and tell the world your brand means business.
| Feature | Industry Standard | Runfish Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Embroidery Type | Flat 2D only | 2D + 3D Puff options |
| Stitch Density | 4-6 stitches/mm | 8-12 stitches/mm |
| Foam Underlay | Not available | 3mm/5mm/8mm options |
| Color Options | Up to 8 colors | Up to 15 colors |
| Minimum Logo Size | 5cm | 2cm precision |
Tajima TMEF-H Series 15-needle Embroidery Machine | Brother PR1055X Multi-needle System
Max stitch count: 800,000 stitches/hour | Foam underlay: 3mm/5mm/8mm | Thread types: Rayon, Polyester, Metallic
Water Rolls Off So Do Your Worries DWR That Actually Lasts
Anyone can spray a fabric with water repellent. The challenge is making it last through dozens of washes without losing effectiveness. Our DWR finishing process bonds at the fiber level -- not just the surface -- using a C6 fluorocarbon-free formula that meets global environmental standards.
| Feature | Industry Standard | Runfish Standard |
|---|---|---|
| DWR Type | C8 fluorocarbon | C6 fluorocarbon-free |
| Durability | 10-15 wash cycles | 50+ wash cycles |
| Water Beading Rating | 70/100 after 10 washes | 90/100 after 50 washes |
| Environmental Compliance | REACH basic | OEKO-TEX + bluesign |
| Application Method | Surface spray | Fiber-level bonding |
Monforts Montex 6000 Stenter Frame | Bruckner POWER-FRAME Finishing Range
DWR rating: ISO 4920 Grade 4-5 | Wash durability: 50+ cycles | Water contact angle: >130 degrees
Sweat Less Fish More Engineered from the Yarn Up
Most brands add moisture-wicking as a finishing treatment -- it washes out over time. We engineer it into the yarn itself. Our cross-section modified polyester fibers create capillary channels that actively pull moisture away from skin and disperse it across the fabric surface for rapid evaporation.
| Feature | Industry Standard | Runfish Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Wicking Method | Surface chemical treatment | Fiber cross-section engineering |
| Durability | Fades after 20-30 washes | Permanent -- lasts garment lifetime |
| Dry Time vs Cotton | 2x faster | 3x faster |
| Moisture Spread Area | Limited | 360 degree capillary distribution |
| After-wash Performance | Significant degradation | <5% performance loss |
Murata Vortex MVS 870 Spinning Machine | Oerlikon Barmag eAFK Texturing Machine
Moisture wicking rate: AATCC 195 Grade 4+ | Dry time: 45 min vs 135 min (cotton) | Wash durability: 100+ cycles
More Ways We Build Better Fishing Polos
Nine additional technologies that separate a Runfish polo from everything else on the rack.
UPF50+ Fabric Treatment
Multi-layer UV blocking woven directly into the fabric. Not a coating. Not a claim. Certified UPF50+ protection that lasts.
Moisture-Wicking Technology
Dual-layer fabric construction moves sweat away from skin to outer surface for rapid evaporation. Stay dry, stay focused.
Laser-Cut Ventilation Panels
Precisely cut micro-perforations in strategic airflow zones. No fraying, no rough edges -- just intelligent ventilation.
Anti-Odor Treatment
Silver-ion antimicrobial finish suppresses odor-causing bacteria. Effective through 50+ wash cycles.
Flatlock Seam Construction
Seams lie flat against the skin with no raised edges. Zero chafing on long fishing days -- even under a life jacket.
Underarm Gusset Design
A triangular fabric insert at each underarm adds 40% more range of motion. Cast wider, reach higher, fish better.
4-Way Stretch Fabric
Moves with you in every direction. No pulling, no restricting -- just performance fabric that keeps up with the action.
Custom Woven Label & Hang Tag
Full private label service including custom woven neck labels, hang tags, and packaging. Your brand, perfectly presented.
Heat Transfer Printing
Photographic-quality designs without embroidery bulk. Perfect for complex artwork, gradients, and full-color brand graphics.
