A while ago I wrote about this organic, bamboo clothing range, and have to say I have worn it so much. I have two tops that I wear under pretty much everything, but while you won’t catch me running for anything other than a bus, bamboo fibre is brilliant work out wear. Without going into massive detail, it’s good at ‘moisture management’ because bamboo fibre has a honeycomb yarn and a built-in bamboo charcoal (it feels like the softest cotton, by the way) to absorb moisture. Ultimately, what that means is that you stay dryer and cooler for longer. But, the weird thing is, this material also helps with heat preservation!
It’s possibly not relevant to most of us (unless you’re an extreme hiker or camper) but the fabric has a natural bacteria and mildew resistance. I’d have to say that I’ve never bought a piece of clothing and worried that it might get mildew, but then I’ve no plans ever in my life to get in a tent!
I just wear my Boody tops as everyday underwear or for sleeping when I’m not in Uniqlo Heat Tech or Cool Tech (because I love those too) but the whole temperature regulation thing is definitely a draw (and, I find it’s good under cashmere). Nobody wants to be too hot or too cold, especially when you’re sleeping. Anyway, Boody has offered us 15% off everything if you want to give it a try – my personal recommendation would be the Tank or the Cami but there are plenty of other options (and, hate to bring the practical to a beauty blog, but men’s socks – that won’t get smelly fast!).
