People often associate ecologically sustainable fabrics with hippies and assume they must be uncomfortable or unfashionable, and since bamboo is a relatively new type of fabric that isn’t common in mainstream fashion, it suffers from these connotations.

The truth about bamboo clothing is much less negative, however! It has many properties that make it an ideal choice for both fashionable designs and everyday clothing. Some of these properties include:

Seasonal insulation

Like many artificial fabrics, bamboo provides insulation depending on the season and temperature around you. In the summer, it will help keep you cool by releasing heat, while it warms you up in winter by trapping heat. This makes it a great choice for any clothing item from head (such as all-season hats) to toe (sports socks).

Sweat-absorbent

Bamboo clothing is a great choice for sports and exercise, as it helps wick away sweat and moisture from your skin. This keeps you dry and comfortable, so you don’t experience the uncomfortable and gross sensation of sweat being trapped by your clothes.

Antibacterial

Yet another benefit that isn’t just for athletes is the tendency of bamboo fabric to keep you odor-free. It doesn’t harbor bacteria and nasty smells like other fabrics, and is easily washed out. The natural bamboo anti-fungal property is retained by the fabric.

Very soft

You don’t have to sacrifice comfort to get these benefits. It’s soft and feels very smooth to the touch against any body part. Underwear and socks can be made of the material without discomfort, so any clothing item will feel good with this type of fabric.

Hypoallergenic

Though some manufacturers may treat bamboo fabric, bamboo does not cause severe allergic reactions like many more common fabrics made of artificial materials or naturally allergenic materials.

These are just a few of the benefits of wearing clothing made from bamboo fabric. There are others, including the eco-friendly nature of this fabric, anti-static so it doesn’t cling to you uncomfortably, and even UV protection offered by these garments. Bamboo garments are well worth checking out next time you see them!
