![]() They still look great and would be very comfortable on long haul flights. But in saying that, this could be the perfect pair of pants to travel in. But with the pants, I’d rather sacrifice some of stretchiness for a better fabric feel. Personally, I can see the polo getting a lot of wears, it’s light and feels heaps comfortable. ![]() If you’re more on the active side but can’t get away with athleisure at work, or prefer to be more dressed up in your off time, performance/tech-wear from Public Rec should be high on your list. As with most clothes the occasion and purpose will dictate whether or not you would benefit from the features of this pants and polo combo. I guess so, it really all depends on you. Again not a huge deal, just not my preference. But on the back of the shirt, towards the hem, another small ‘P’ logo appears. The stitching on the cuffs and hem of the shirt look well done. Like the pants, the small details are appreciated: the contrast colour on the placket, the logo on the buttons and interior of the shirt are subtle and go unnoticed. It’s not too boxy, but it’s forgiving for guys with a little more around their belly. Wearing the polo on hot and humid days, sweat wasn’t a problem and it didn’t feel like a stuffy polo shirt at all.

The back zipper pocket is a welcome addition, especially if you’re worried about items falling out of your pocket while being active. The fabric is also a quick drying performance material.
