Reprimo Range Guide — Flight vs Summit vs Clima vs Motion vs Vortex
Reprimo doesn't publish a range comparison, so working out which family is which — Flight, Summit, Clima, Motion, Vortex, Helix, Nova, Collective — is left to guesswork. As an authorised UK stockist since 1992, we've handled every one of these on our own shop floor. Here's the honest chooser: fit class, fabric, price, and exactly which family suits gym, running, or off-duty wear.
1 | The Range at a Glance
Seven families, three fit classes. This table is the whole range in one place — use it to jump straight to the section that matches what you're training for.
| Family | Fit Class | Fabric | Best For | Price Band |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flight | Regular performance | 88/12 nylon-elastane (tees) | All-rounder, gym-to-street | Tees £38–40 · Pants £70–75 |
| Summit | Athletic / streamlined | 87/13 nylon-elastane (tees) | Dedicated training sessions | Tees £38 |
| Clima | Athletic / streamlined | Dual-fabric construction | High-output, hot sessions | Tees £40 · Shorts £43 |
| Vortex (+ Shibori, Axis) | Athletic / streamlined | 100% polyester | Printed technical tees | Priced with tee range |
| Motion | Relaxed athleisure | Brushed jersey / poly-elastane | Recovery days, off-duty | Hoodie £60–65 · Jogger £65–70 |
| Helix / Nova | Regular performance (outerwear) | Shell / jacket construction | Layer over training kit | Helix £78 · Nova £75 |
| Collective | Relaxed athleisure | Brushed jersey / poly-elastane | Off-duty comfort | Priced with Motion range |
OD's View
Think of it as three lanes, not seven random names: regular performance (Flight, Nova, Helix) for everyday training-to-street, athletic/streamlined (Summit, Clima, Vortex) for dedicated gym sessions, and relaxed athleisure (Motion, Collective) for recovery days.
2 | Flight — The Flagship All-Rounder
Flight is the family most people mean when they say "Reprimo" — a regular performance fit built to move between the gym and the street without a change of clothes. Tees are 88/12 nylon-elastane, giving four-way stretch without the compression feel of the athletic families below.
Regular Performance Fit
Cut for everyday wear rather than compression — a looser, more forgiving silhouette than Summit or Clima.
Zipped Pockets
Lockable/zipped pockets on shorts and pants — practical for training-to-street days when you're carrying keys or a phone.
Windbreaker — Shower-Resistant
The Flight windbreaker is shower-resistant lightweight weather protection, not a waterproof shell. Vents and reflective trim are built in for low-light sessions.
Fabric
88/12 nylon-elastane tees; shorts, pants and the windbreaker use a firmer poly-elastane blend for structure.
Flight Price Points
- Tees: £38–£40
- Shorts: £40–£43
- Pants: £70–£75
- Windbreaker: £75
3 | Summit — The Athletic Trainer
Summit sits in the athletic/streamlined lane — a closer, panelled fit designed for people who train regularly and want less fabric moving around them. Tees are 87/13 nylon-elastane; shorts and pants step up to a 90/10 blend for a firmer hold.
Panelled Construction
Ergonomic panels through the chest and thighs give a closer, more athletic silhouette than Flight.
Lockable Zip
A lockable zip pocket on shorts and pants keeps essentials secure during a session.
Custom Waistband
A tailored waistband construction on shorts and pants, distinct from Flight's drawcord finish.
Fabric
87/13 nylon-elastane tees, 90/10 nylon-elastane shorts and pants.
Summit Price Points
- Tees: £38
- Shorts: £38–£42
4 | Clima — High-Output Streamlined
Clima is built for the hardest, hottest sessions — a streamlined athletic fit with a dual-fabric construction designed for better moisture transfer than a plain cotton tee during high-output training. It sits alongside Summit in the athletic/streamlined lane but is pitched specifically at output rather than everyday training.
Dual-Fabric Build
Different panels use different weights of fabric, placed to manage heat and movement across a session rather than a single uniform cloth.
Ventilation
Built-in ventilation points help with airflow during the highest-output stretches of a workout.
Clima Price Points
- Tees: £40
- Shorts: £43
5 | Vortex & the Technical Tees
Vortex, Shibori and Axis are Reprimo's printed technical tee families — all built in 100% polyester rather than the nylon-elastane blends used across Flight, Summit and Clima. They sit in the athletic/streamlined lane and are the pieces you'll see carrying Reprimo's bolder colourway and print work.
100% Polyester
A single-fibre technical construction rather than a stretch blend — lighter and quicker-drying than the elastane-rich families.
Printed Finishes
Vortex, Shibori and Axis carry Reprimo's most distinctive prints and colourways, alongside solid options.
OD's View
If you want the loudest colourway on the rail, this is the family to check first — the fabric is athletic-cut but the print work is what sets it apart.
6 | Motion & Collective — Recovery & Athleisure
Motion and Collective are the relaxed athleisure side of the range — brushed jersey and poly-elastane pieces built for recovery days and off-duty wear rather than a training session. The Motion hoodie runs £60–£65 and the jogger £65–£70.
Relaxed Silhouette
A looser cut than any of the athletic or regular-performance families — choose by silhouette preference, not by training metrics.
Brushed Jersey Fabric
A softer, brushed-back handle built for comfort over performance — this isn't stretch-compression fabric.
Honest Sizing Note
Some Motion and Collective pieces run tighter in places than the relaxed billing suggests — customer feedback on fit is mixed between styles and colourways. If you're buying a set, check the top and bottom against our measurements separately rather than assuming they size the same.
7 | Fit & Sizing Quick Rules
Reprimo doesn't fit identically across its three families, and sizing inconsistency between styles and colourways is the single most common piece of customer feedback we see. We won't tell you it's blanket true-to-size — here's what actually helps.
| Fit Family | Members | Sizing Note |
|---|---|---|
| Regular performance | Flight, Nova, Helix | Usual size is the default starting point |
| Athletic / streamlined | Summit, Clima, Vortex | Size up if you're muscular through the chest or thighs |
| Relaxed athleisure | Motion, Collective | Choose by silhouette preference, not measurement alone |
- Start with your usual size — it's the safest default across the range
- Muscular build training in Summit, Clima or Helix? Size up rather than down
- Buying a matching set (tee + short, jacket + pant)? Check top and bottom against our measurements separately — they don't always size the same
- Between sizes? Talk to us before you buy — we handle Reprimo daily and can compare against stock in-store
Why We Don't Promise "True to Size"
Reprimo's sizing varies between styles and colourways, and that's a known, common complaint from wearers — not something we're going to paper over. Asking us before you order is the most reliable way to get the right size first time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Flight and Summit?
Flight is Reprimo's regular performance fit — a looser, all-rounder cut built in 88/12 nylon-elastane for gym-to-street wear. Summit is the athletic/streamlined family, panelled for a closer training fit in 87/13 nylon-elastane tees and 90/10 shorts and pants. Choose Flight for everyday wear, Summit for dedicated training sessions.
Which Reprimo is best for the gym?
Summit and Clima are the two families built specifically around gym training — Summit for panelled, everyday sessions, Clima for the hottest, highest-output workouts thanks to its dual-fabric construction. Vortex, Shibori and Axis technical tees also sit in the athletic fit class if you want a more distinctive print.
Which is best for running?
Clima's dual-fabric build and ventilation are geared towards high-output sessions like running, and Summit's streamlined athletic fit works well too. Reprimo doesn't publish dedicated running-specific technology, so for longer distances we'd recommend trying Clima and Summit in-store to compare against your usual running kit.
Is Motion true to size?
Not consistently — Motion is a relaxed athleisure fit, and customer feedback on Reprimo sizing between styles and colourways is mixed. Some Motion pieces run tighter in places than the relaxed billing suggests. If you're buying a matching hoodie and jogger set, check both pieces against our in-store measurements rather than assuming they size the same.
Are Reprimo jackets waterproof?
No. Reprimo jackets, including the Flight windbreaker, are shower-resistant with lightweight weather protection — not waterproof. They're built for light rain and wind with vents and reflective trim, but they're not a fully waterproof outer shell.
What fabric is Flight?
Flight tees are 88/12 nylon-elastane, giving four-way stretch in a regular performance fit. Flight shorts, pants and the windbreaker use a firmer poly-elastane blend for structure and shape retention.
