The first thing I noticed on receiving the package is that Rockay are making good on their promise of a more sustainable activewear brand. Gone are the annoying plastic tags, these socks came with recycled cardboard packaging in biodegradable bags.
Even the socks themselves are made from regenerated yarn and working with Resea to remove plastic from our oceans. As athletes we create a lot of smelly washing (or at least I know I do!) meaning we use a lot of energy and water to clean these clothes. Rockay products claim to be anti odour, reducing the number of washes needed. .
One aspect I couldn’t test during this review was their durability. Both pairs of socks survived my testing as well as a sports cycling in the washing machine with ease. Rockay claims their products are built to last and have enough confidence in them that they come with a lifetime guarantee!
