Why you can trust Golf Monthly
Reflo is a brand that’s been on our radar since we first tested its best-selling Lapter hoodie last year. The brand was built on the backbone of sustainability with many of its garments being made fully from recycled materials. The Tobol is an example of Relfo’s 100% recycled construction and is one of the brand’s best golf polos. There’s certainly a misconception that clothes made from recycled materials are somehow of a poorer quality. The Tobol polo does a lot to quash that misconception and features the quality and comfort of a leading garment, all with the added benefit of knowing that virgin polyester hasn’t been used to make it. It fits really well and washes well too, an important thing to consider when buying any clothing. Having worn it on and off for the last three months, it comes out of the wash every time looking like it did the first day I wore it.
Reflo's sustainable practices don't end at the garment. Each product arrives in a bag made from plants, not plastic. The bag itself is 100% biodegradable and will compost in just six months. It's without a doubt the most sustainable golf apparel brand I've had the pleasure of using and will be music to the ears of golfers and non-golfers alike who are trying to better their own carbon footprint. I hope it does a lot to educate other manufacturers into how to better their own practices when it comes to sustainability, packaging and where it sources its labor from.
There’s a growing trend emerging for collarless polos - one which I’m a big fan of. Relfo has executed that style well here, although I do wish the fixture was made using buttons instead of the zip. It does however make for a very versatile look that doesn’t scream golf while still looking very much at home on the course. I’ve worn this to go to the gym and play tennis in as well, so there really is a lot of wear to be had from this polo outside of golf. That makes the £70 RRP make a lot more sense when you consider the quality, sustainable production method and amount you’ll be able to wear the Tobol out and about.
Overall I was suitably impressed with this polo shirt. The style is spot on and the quality and versatility speak for themselves as soon as you slip it on. For golfers looking to better their carbon footprint and who value real quality in their apparel, the Tobol - and Reflo as a whole - is something you should really consider.
