Bamboo is one of the most responsibly grown materials for making clothing on the planet. Why? Because it needs no insecticides, pesticides and… can grow with little or a lot of water for that matter. Bamboo is a grass and grows like a grass, so super fast, you can watch it grow, up to two inches per hour. It has been touted as the fastest growing grass in the whole world.
Now, add to this that it feels like silk, is wicking, antimicrobial and just sexy to wear and you have a perfect combination.
As a wood product it is tough as steel. Like hemp, bamboo is a sustainable resource. Bamboo can grow almost anywhere, even at elevations up to 12,000 feet, meaning they grow up to the timberline.
