Both run $110. The Outdoor Voices Pickup is ~11oz cotton French terry with a relaxed taper and a muted, understated look, while the Polo Ralph Lauren Double-Knit is a ~10oz cotton-blend fleece in a clean preppy taper with the recognizable Polo branding. Same price, so you're choosing aesthetic and a slightly heavier fabric versus a slightly lighter one with a name on it.

Which should you buy?
At an identical $110 there's no money to save, so go by what you want on display. Buy the Outdoor Voices for slightly more fabric weight, a softer loop-back terry and a quiet, logo-light look. Buy the Polo if the preppy styling and the embroidered branding are the point. On fabric weight alone the OV edges it; on name recognition the Polo wins.
