As for the garments themselves, Reebok's Head Apparel designer Corinna Werkle describes that "We made sure a sports bra did not look like a sports bra, and we made it look like a cool surf top.…You don’t hide a bra anymore, because it’s part of your outfit and not just a functional piece." The garments in the Reebok collection make use of materials like Lycra, PrimaLoft, Tencel, wool and Cordura, making sure that your gear is able to keep up with your range of movements.
