Bamboo fibre is softer than the softest cotton, has a natural sheen to the surface and feels similar to silk or cashmere. It is sustainable, anti-bacterial, UV-resistant, hypoallergenic, thermo-regulating, deodorizing, does not retain odours and is biodegradable. It is more absorbent than cotton, absorbing 60% more moisture and drying 20% quicker. It also wicks sweat away from the body.
Bamboo fibre also has natural UV protection. The 100% bamboo fabric has an SPF of 14.
Washing info:
You can wash Bamboo products just like cotton — cold or warm water and tumble dry. We do recommend a gentle cycle. No bleach or fabric softener. Remove promptly from the dryer. 100% bamboo products should not shrink — The cotton blended products will shrink some, but less than 100% cotton shirts.
So if it's 100% then no probs on shrinkage. But if its a blend then I would allow approx. 3% for shrinkage.
Bamboo! Good choice. Some info:
