The first thing you notice when you pull a Chroma polo out of the packaging is the weight of the fabric. It has a density to it that cheaper performance polos simply don't. Not heavy, but substantial. The kind of feel you get from a Manors or Macade polo, which typically retail at two to three times the price.

Chroma uses a four-way stretch fabric with a soft, brushed finish on the inside. It moves with you through the swing without that clingy polyester feel. After 18 holes in 28-degree heat, the moisture wicking held up better than I expected. The collar keeps its shape too, which is something that falls apart fast on lesser fabrics.

This is where Chroma separates itself from the mid-tier pack. Every polo in the SS26 collection has a distinct design identity. The Oxblood Stripe has a retro-modern feel that works on and off the course. The Sage Lava print is bold without being loud. The Clay Camo is subtle enough for a members' club but with real personality.

Compare that to the standard fare from Druids or Amazon golf brands, where you're choosing between three shades of plain. Chroma gives you something worth putting on.

Chroma's cut sits in a sweet spot. Slim enough to look sharp untucked but not so tight that you feel restricted at the top of your backswing. The sleeves are slightly shorter than most, which gives a cleaner, more athletic look.

I tested sizes M and L across three different body types in our review team. Every tester reported a true-to-size fit with no surprises. That consistency matters when you're buying online.

Here's where the review gets interesting. Individual Chroma polos retail at £39. That alone puts them well under premium golf brands like Manors and Macade, while delivering comparable fabric quality and a stronger design range.

But Chroma also runs a bundle offer: 3 polos for £89. That's under £30 each for a polo that competes with brands charging double. If you're building a golf wardrobe or refreshing your rotation, the maths is hard to argue with.

I've recommended the 3-polo bundle to four friends since testing. All four ordered.

Small detail, but worth noting: Chroma's packaging is a level above what you'd expect at this price. The polos arrive individually wrapped in a beautiful frosted mailer and every order comes with a free ball marker. It feels considered. It feels like a £75 brand, not a £39 one.

This matters because it signals intent. Brands that invest in presentation tend to invest in product. And after a full season with Chroma, that checks out.
