The Benefits of Bamboo in Clothing

The benefits of bamboo fabric are endless. Naturally eco-friendly, a dream to wear, resilient, superbly soft and healthy for even the most sensitive skin, bamboo clothing is without a doubt the way to go.

And if you were after more detail, we engaged Green Story to find out how our fabrics compare to conventional materials - see this report. 

THE CHOICE FOR SUSTAINABILITY

Grown organically

No pesticides. No insecticides. No fertilisers. Ok, we're off to a good start...

Grown without artificial irrigation

Producing commercial harvests of bamboo requires only rainwater. What’s more, all water used in the production process is recycled and re-used.

Improving air quality

Bamboo plantations produce 30% more oxygen than an equivalent area of trees and absorb more carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases.

Fast growing, regenerating

The fastest growing woody plant in the world, some species of bamboo shoot up as much as one metre a day! New stems are able to be harvested again and again. Honestly, try to wrap your mind around that. 

THE CHOICE FOR HEALTH

Anti-bacterial & anti-fungal

Bamboo contains an anti-bacterial and anti-fungal bio-agent which is retained through the process of fabrication and after washing many, many times. This property also makes Boody garments odour-resistant. Sounds good... and smells good.

Hypoallergenic

Particularly suitable for eczema sufferers and those with extra sensitive skin.

Breathable & moisture-wicking

The structure of the bamboo fibres contains micro-gaps, which provide ventilation and pull moisture away from the body, allowing the skin to breathe.

UPF50+ Sun protection

All Boody garments are made from a UPF50+ rated fabric to protect yourself from ultraviolet (UV) damage. Layer up!

THE CHOICE FOR COMFORT

Silky soft

Light, luxuriously soft and gentle on the skin, bamboo is a dream to wear.

Thermo-regulating

Cosy in winter, cool in summer, Boody garments provide warmth without bulk. Great for exercise in all conditions.

Anti-static

A neutral charge prevents static build-up, preventing clinging.
