wiggleit Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 In the marketat moment for a couple of decent base layer tops.Some horrendous prices out there, but came across a couple selling kit made from bamboo fibre.Sounds perfect from the sales pitch...v soft, light, good wicking/thermal properties etc etc....prices reasonable too.Anybody had experience before I waste my hard-earned??

Guest Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Didn't they used to sell this at P & A (PandA) Never heard of it, but why not?Base layers such as long-sleeved tees and longjohns are easy enough to find without falling for the "hi-tech" approach - and at more realistic prices too.

Petarded Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I have this in black. It's really comfy, wicks moisture away from the body and most importantly warm. I also have some helly/hansen baselayer tops, they're good but they have the tendency to ride up (because they're so stretchy) if not held down by your belt/trousers.

kate1 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I've got bamboo socks and they haven't turned into card when washed like cotton ones do Some companies make old skool style nappies out of it as well so if its deemed good enough for a baby's ass its probably ok.

(I sell wool for a living and we are using it too ) Apparently there's a variety of bamboo that can grow 1 foot in a day! That's got to be at least a pair of socks!
