SURF SPORTS CLUB WEAR
ECO-CONSCIOUS APPAREL. THINK AHEAD. DON’T GET LEFT BEHIND.
About Us Red Handed is one of Australia’s leading providers of swimwear and apparel to the Surf Life Saving community. We specialise in club gear from swimwear to casual wear, combining elite performance, with fun and fashion. We have produced custom apparel for hundreds of clubs around Australia. With over 40 years of involvement in Surf Lifesaving in Australia, Red Handed understands what athletes need, and deliver only the best in fit, function and look, while excelling in the environmental space. Our range of fabrics made from transformed recycled bottles demonstrates our commitment to saving what we love the most – our beaches, and we urge our customers to help us lead the charge. All of our fabrics are chosen to ensure they are produced with zero toxicity in dyes, zero run off into waterways, and are pre-washed using only natural detergents. Learn more on the next page. A co-op of elite and amateur athletes continue to contribute to our ever-growing product offering and combine creativity and performance with comfort and style. We are proud to offer custom design garments that are tailored to the needs of our athletes and supporters. Drew Howell Red Handed Founder
Our Environmental Focus At Red Handed, it is our highest priority to understand the industry completely and source the least harmful, most sustainable production methods available worldwide. We are proud to have recently launched a range of apparel made from Repreve © - sustainable fabrics transformed from ocean-bound plastic bottles. A little more of the nitty-gritty… Our raw cotton is sourced from Australia and the USA, two countries that are highly regulated and produce high quality long stable cotton. The benefit of high quality cotton is that it produces longer lasting garments. Our standard fabric is dyed using AZO free Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Certified dyes in the most advanced facility available. This means the fabric is free from over 100 substances known to be harmful to human health. The Cold Pad Batch Dyeing (CPB) Technology we utilise, uses 80% less water than the conventional vat dyeing method. The latter requires very large quantities of salt and water to allow the colour to stick to the fabric. The salt water needs to be disposed of after dyeing and, without the correct system, is usually disposed of into natural water ways and rivers, destroying the ecology. CPB dyeing requires no salt, the colour is rolled into the fabric through a press roller. This method is highly effective and creates far less wastage. We are happy to dye our fabric from the only CPB dyer in South East Asia. To remove all shrinkage from our finished T shirts, we cut and wash the fabric before producing garments. Our laundry doesn’t use any chemical based detergents and also produces eco-friendly detergents made completely from plants. Our screen printing process is done with Japanese water-based inks which are also Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Certified (and 100% free of PVC, dangerous phthalates, formaldehyde , heavy metals, AZO compounds and nonylphenol xenoestrogens). Our screen printing is cleaned using a distilling method that allows us to separate and remove the inks by drying and removing them from the waste water. Our factory is behind the Keep Bali Clean campaign, something we are proud of.

Working in the Surf Life Saving industry, we all have an obligation to make better choices to preserve our beaches and waterways… Small actions can make big changes.
