Bamboo Benefits

Bamboo fabric is composed of strong anti-microbial properties. It is believed to consist of 3 times more anti-bacterial qualities than cotton clothing. In the wild bamboo thrives without the help of pesticides and fertilizers. It is rarely affected by pests or infected by pathogens. Bamboo contains a bio-agent called “bamboo kun” which retains the anti-bacterial properties in the fabric. Unlike other anti-microbial fabrics which need chemical treatments, organic bamboo fiber clothing is naturally anti-microbial, requiring no harmful chemicals. Bamboo clothing’s natural anti-bacterial function differs greatly from that of man-made chemical anti-microbial fabrics, which often tend to cause skin problems.

Bamboo fabric retains the plant’s moisture absorbency qualities. Bamboo apparel absorbs and evaporates moister faster than any other fabric. It wicks away moisture and allows your skin to breathe. These unique qualities keep your body dry and comfortable even when you perspire.

Our products neutralize odors, staying fresher for longer. The fabric naturally stops bacteria from spreading, resulting in a healthier and more hygienic garment.

In summer temperatures, bamboo cools the body by up to three degrees. In winter climate, bamboo warms the body by up tp three degrees (heat gets trapped in the micro structure of the fabric and forms a protective layer).

Bamboo apparel has anti-static properties. It does not cling uncomfortably to your skin. There is no “static cling” when you remove them from the washer.

At the end of its life cycle, bamboo apparel dissolves in the environment without destroying nature. They are a 100% decomposable.
