IZOD Men's Big and Tall Advantage Performance Polo (Style 985Z)

Our review of the IZOD Men's Big and Tall Advantage Performance Polo finds it best suited for men who want a dependable, comfortable polo with a roomy cut and modern performance fabric. The single biggest reason to buy is the thoughtful combination of a longer, wider Big & Tall cut with Sport Flex stretch and a breathable 60% cotton / 40% polyester blend that wicks moisture and dries quickly. For golfers, casual office wear, or everyday errands this polo balances classic styling with practical features like a roll-resistant collar and UV-15 sun protection.

Key Features

• Big & Tall fit: The shirt is cut longer and wider to provide more shoulder, chest and torso room for a comfortable, confident fit without feeling tight.
• Fabric blend: A 60% cotton and 40% polyester mix gives breathable comfort with easy care and a soft hand against the skin.
• Sport Flex technology: Built-in stretch allows freedom of movement, making it suitable for active use on the course or around town.
• Moisture management: The fabric wicks sweat and dries quickly to help keep you cool during warm days or active sessions.
• Sun protection: A UV-15 finish offers added protection from the sun for outdoor activities like golf or yard work.
• Classic details: The two-button placket, subtly darker trim and roll-resistant collar keep the look neat for casual and semi-formal settings.

Who It's For

The IZOD Big & Tall Advantage Performance Polo is aimed at men who need extra length and room across the shoulders and torso but still want a classic polo silhouette. It works well for golfers, men who prefer a relaxed workplace polo, and anyone who values breathable fabric with some stretch.

Those who want a very long tuck-in shirt or a fitted, tailored silhouette should look elsewhere; the Big & Tall cut intentionally prioritizes room and length over a slim profile, so slim-fit buyers or men who need an unusually long inseam may prefer a different style.
