Why bamboo

Softer on skin. Easier in the heat.

It starts with how it feels

Most activewear is made to perform for an hour and put up with for the rest. We wanted the opposite: something cool, soft and easy enough that you forget you're wearing it, in a city where it's warm most of the year. That's why we chose bamboo.

What you'll notice

Cool to the touch

A smooth, cool hand feel that stays comfortable against the skin when the temperature climbs.

Breathes with you

Air moves through the knit, so you feel less clammy mid session and on the walk home.

Soft from day one

No breaking in. It feels good the first time you put it on.

Stretch that follows

A touch of spandex lets every piece move with a reach, a fold or a flow.

The fabric

What it's actually made of

Every piece is 95% viscose from bamboo and 5% spandex.

Bamboo pulp is processed into a soft viscose fibre, then knitted with a little spandex for stretch and recovery. That's where the smooth, cool feel comes from.

We call it viscose from bamboo because that's exactly what it is. No inflated claims, just a fabric we think feels better to live in.

Care

Keep it soft

Bamboo fabric rewards a gentle wash. Machine wash cold at 30°C, inside out, with similar colours, and tumble dry low. Skip the bleach, the iron and the dry cleaner, and it'll stay soft wash after wash. More tips in our care guide.
