UK-based sports and leisurewear brand Reflo are looking to shake up the golf apparel scene by offering sustainable performance clothing. The women’s range is coming soon, but for now I’ve roped in my colleague Alex Perry to see what he thought of the men’s line-up…
Reflo golf apparel: First impressions
“Anyone who has seen me carefully scrutinising every container as I ponder which bin it can go in will know recycling and sustainability is something I’m awfully passionate about,” Alex writes.
“When you recieve a box from Reflo, that shared passion smacks you right in the face. ‘I am made from plants, not plastic’, the bag protecting your latest purchase screams at you. ‘You can feel good about using me because I am 100% biodegradable. I will compost in 6 months,’ it adds, before a friendly reminder that ‘a plastic bag can take thousands of years’.
“Under the huge ‘R’ logo, we’re told that Reflo ‘are committed to making high-quality apparel that makes you look and feel epic!’
“It continues: ‘Our apparel is made using recycled plastic by people who have fair working conditions and wages. We think all apparel should be made this way, and you shouldn’t have to sacrifice and make positive choices. So let’s help each other look after the world we live in.’
“And I haven’t even opened the bag yet!”
On the apparel itself, Alex adds: “I was really excited to get this delivery because if you nose through the website you can see Reflo makes some really cool and stylish apparel. In real life, it looked even better.
“You know that feeling of slipping into an old, familiar piece of clothing you’ve had for years? How at home you feel in it? Reflo feels like that straight out of the box (and bag).”
