The Natural Solution for Active Wear Clothing
Viscose from Certified Organic Bamboo Fiber is light and airy, making it remarkably soft. It has a natural quality that feels silky, and yet has the advantage of being machine washable and dryer safe. This natural resource will not hold odor like synthetics. Our bamboo allows the body to breathe as it absorbs perspiration and wicks it away to keep you dry and comfortable.
Bamboo is the most sustainable of all the natural fibers. It grows so fast it reaches a mature height of 75 feet in just 45 days. It regenerates naturally through an extensive root system that sends out an average of 6 new shoots per year and can be re-harvested repeatedly without a need for replanting.
Fights Global Warming
Bamboo takes in 5 times the amount of greenhouse gases and produces 35% more oxygen than an equivalent stand of trees, doing its part to combat global warming.
Healthy Soil
Bamboo stabilizes the earth with its erosion preventing roots, and improves the health of the soil by sequestering excess nitrogen. Cotton crops require wide spacing that allow bare soils to bake and oxidize, releasing carbon into the atmosphere and decreasing soil fertility. Further, Bamboo retains water in the watershed, reduces runoff, sustains riverbanks, and helps mitigate water pollution due to its high nitrogen consumption.
Organic
Our bamboo is USDA certified organic. Bamboo is good for our ecosystems because it does not require chemical pesticides or fertilizers to grow.
Panda Safe
We are often asked whether the use of Bamboo for textiles deprives Pandas of their food source. There are over 1200 species of bamboo on this planet. All our products are manufactured from the bamboo species, Moso, which is not eaten by Pandas.
Ecologically Sound Production
Ecologically sound methods behind bamboo production is the fact that all our bamboo is certified under Oeko-Tex Standard 100, which has become the best known and most successful label for textiles tested for harmful substances (bamboo fibers are broken down with chemicals and extruded through mechanical spinnerets). Our Viscose from Certified Organic Bamboo Fiber is qualified for CLASS 1, baby use, which means we are fully aware of the relationship between textile production and related health & environmental issues.
Care Instructions
Wash bamboo socks & clothing in cold water with like colors. The gentle wash cycle is best for long-lasting care. Use a minimal amount of soap as you wash bamboo clothing. Do not use bleach or fabric softener to get rid of stains or bacteria. The bamboo has a fiber or "kun" that provides a natural anti-bacterial, anti-fungal agent that keeps your clothes from picking up unwanted germs and fungus.
Line dry or air-dry the bamboo socks & clothing. While you can dry it in the dryer on the cool setting, some bamboo clothing may shrink. Never dry bamboo clothing on the warm or hot dryer setting. Be aware bamboo will absorb the moisture from other fabrics like cotton, so it will take longer to dry; just dry with like bamboo items for best results.
Iron your bamboo clothing with care using a dry iron set no higher than low setting. Using steam in your iron can cause rings to appear in the bamboo garment that you cannot wash out.
