Reprimo vs Montirex — Which Should You Buy?
Reprimo and Montirex chase the same UK gym-to-street customer, and "reprimo vs montirex" is one of the questions we get asked most in-store. Worth declaring upfront: OD's is an authorised Reprimo stockist, not a Montirex retailer, so read this as an honest comparison from the Reprimo side of the fence rather than a neutral referee. Where Montirex genuinely wins — price, JD Sports reach — we say so. Where Reprimo pulls ahead, we say that too.
1 | Quick Verdict
Is Reprimo better than Montirex? It depends what you're optimising for. Neither brand wins on every count, so here's the honest split before you read the detail below.
Choose Reprimo if…
You want a more distinctive look with a fight-camp identity, richer stretch-fabric detail (bonded seams, reflective trims, lockable pockets), and you don't mind paying a little more for it.
Choose Montirex if…
You want a cheaper entry point, a bigger following among younger buyers, and easier access via JD Sports' deep store and stock network.
OD's View
We stock Reprimo because we rate its construction detail and fight-camp credibility over mainstream gym-brand alternatives — but Montirex is a legitimate, cheaper option and we won't pretend otherwise.
2 | Brand Backgrounds
Reprimo
Reprimo Official Ltd was incorporated on 10 October 2022, and the consumer brand launched in 2023 from a Manchester base. It was founded by Tom Jones, a former professional golfer who went on to become Global Sales Director at Hoodrich before starting Reprimo — the vision being a 360° lifestyle brand in the mould of Gymshark or Represent. The brand is founder-led and privately held. Distribution runs through Reprimo's own direct channel, JD Sports UK, OD's, Taskers, Kick Game and DripModa, with a US launch via JD Sports in September 2025 ($35–$135).
Montirex
Montirex is a UK technical streetwear brand that has built a bigger following than Reprimo, with a deeper presence across JD Sports and a lower average price point. We don't hold verified founder or incorporation detail for Montirex, so we won't invent it here — the comparison below is based on published pricing and OD's own Reprimo product data.
3 | Price Comparison
Reprimo sits a little higher than Montirex across most categories — the gap is a matter of a few pounds per piece, not a different tier of spend.
| Category | Reprimo | Montirex |
|---|---|---|
| T-shirts | £38–£45 | £30–£35 |
| Shorts | £40–£43 | ~£35 |
| Jackets | £75–£85 | ~£70 |
Worth knowing
Reprimo carries a heavier outlet footprint than most gym brands — full-price £75 jackets can drop to around £30 in sale — so the real-world price gap between the two brands often closes further if you shop Reprimo's clearance stock.
4 | Fabric & Construction
Reprimo
Published Fabric & Build Detail
- Nylon/poly-elastane blends: published compositions across the range sit roughly 87–92% main fibre to 8–13% elastane, giving genuine four-way stretch rather than a marketing label
- Bonded, heat-sealed seams on key panels to reduce chafe points
- Reflective trims on selected styles for low-light visibility
- Lockable or zipped pockets for training-bag security
- Jackets are shower-resistant, lightweight weather protection — not waterproof, and we won't claim otherwise
Montirex
Montirex doesn't publish the same depth of per-style fabric composition data that Reprimo does, so we can't put a verified percentage breakdown next to it here. What we can say, based on price positioning alone, is that Montirex competes on accessibility rather than construction detail — it's the cheaper, broader option rather than the more technically documented one.
5 | Fit Differences
Reprimo runs three distinct fit families rather than one blanket cut — something the brand itself doesn't spell out clearly on its own site.
| Fit family | Styles | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Athletic / streamlined | Summit, Clima, Helix, Vortex | Training, lifting, fight-camp work |
| Regular performance | Flight, Nova | Everyday wear with room to layer |
| Relaxed athleisure | Motion, Collective | Casual, gym-to-street silhouette |
Sizing caveat
The most common review complaint about Reprimo is sizing inconsistency between styles and colourways — not that the brand runs generally small or large. We won't claim a blanket "true to size." Our advice: order your usual size as a default, size up in Summit/Clima/Helix if you're muscular through the chest or thighs, choose Motion/Collective on silhouette preference rather than measurement, and check top and bottom of any tracksuit set separately since they don't always share the same fit logic.
We don't hold equivalent verified sizing data for Montirex, so if fit is the deciding factor between the two brands, we'd recommend trying pieces on in person rather than relying on either brand's size chart alone.
6 | Who Wears Them
Reprimo's athlete roster leans fight-camp rather than mainstream celebrity endorsement. MMA fighters Luke Riley, Shem Rock and Nathan Fletcher, along with boxer Pierce O'Leary, wear and train in the range, and the brand has seen adoption within the HYROX community. This is credibility earned through people who actually train in the kit, not a billboard sponsorship deal — and we present it as exactly that, rather than overstating it into full celebrity-endorsement territory.
7 | Which to Choose by Use Case
| Use case | Better fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Gym / strength training | Reprimo | Athletic fit family (Summit, Clima, Helix, Vortex) built and worn by fight-camp athletes |
| Boxing / MMA | Reprimo | Direct athlete wear-testing in real training environments |
| Running / HYROX | Either | Reprimo has documented HYROX adoption; Montirex's lighter price point suits high-turnover training kit |
| Casual / everyday | Either | Regular and Relaxed Reprimo fits (Flight, Nova, Motion, Collective) work gym-to-street; Montirex's lower price suits everyday rotation |

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Reprimo better than Montirex?
Neither brand is objectively "better" — it depends what you value. Reprimo offers more distinctive design, richer fabric detail (nylon-elastane stretch blends, bonded seams, reflective trims) and a fight-camp identity built around named MMA and boxing athletes. Montirex is cheaper to enter and has a bigger following with deeper JD Sports stock availability. If distinctive design and construction detail matter most, Reprimo edges it; if budget and availability matter most, Montirex may suit you better.
Which is more expensive, Reprimo or Montirex?
Reprimo generally sits a little higher: tees run roughly £38–£45 versus Montirex's £30–£35, shorts £40–£43 versus around £35, and jackets £75–£85 versus around £70. The gap is modest rather than dramatic, and Reprimo's heavier outlet discounting means sale prices can close that gap further.
Which fits bigger, Reprimo or Montirex?
We can only speak with confidence about Reprimo, where sizing isn't fully consistent between styles — the same size can fit differently in Summit, Clima or Helix versus Motion or Collective, so we recommend checking per style rather than assuming true-to-size across the whole range. We don't hold verified sizing data for Montirex, so we won't guess — try both in person if fit is critical to your decision.
Which is better for the gym, Reprimo or Montirex?
For fight-camp and strength training, Reprimo's Athletic fit family (Summit, Clima, Helix, Vortex) and reinforced stretch fabrics are built specifically around that use case, and are worn by MMA and boxing athletes in real training. Montirex's bigger range and lower price point makes it a reasonable everyday-gym option too — for pure training credibility, Reprimo has the stronger fight-camp story.
Is Reprimo British?
Yes. Reprimo Official Ltd was incorporated in October 2022 and is based in Manchester; the consumer brand launched in 2023, founded by Tom Jones, a former professional golfer and ex-Global Sales Director at Hoodrich.
