When we chose to develop our line of fashion forward outdoor apparel using ‘green’ fabrics we decided to focus on bamboo for a number of reasons. If you’ve never felt a bamboo garment before then your in for a big surprise - softer than cotton with a natural sheen of cashmere. Now imagine a garment this soft and comfortable being able to go right into your washing machine that is also biodegradable when you’ve outgrown it. Too good too be true? We thought so too until we learned why.
Bamboo fiber is hypoallergenic, absorbent, and fast-drying. It is naturally anti-bacterial (therefore pesticides use during growth is eliminated) and will not trap odor. Like other natural fibers, it allows the body to breathe as the fabric absorbs the sweat away from the body (hydrophobic). As a result, bamboo fabric stays around 2 degrees cooler in hot weather and also keeps you significantly warmer in the cold. It also is the most abundant (grown on five continents) and is the most sustainable of the natural fibers as it is extremely fast-growing. If there is sufficient rainfall, no additional irrigation is required. And because no pesticides are required for it to grow it can be harvested again and again.
