Bamboo Fabric Technology
Bamboo fibres provide natural antibacterial properties that resist odour buildup during extended outdoor activities. The high wicking capability moves moisture away from the skin, while fast-drying properties maintain body temperature regulation during variable activity levels.
The soft-touch fabric offers enhanced skin contact without the irritation that wool fabrics can cause, making this base layer suitable for sensitive skin types during extended wear periods.
Layering System Design
The close fitting design works as part of comprehensive layering systems for cold climate activities. Flatlock seams reduce pressure points and chafing during movement, while the durable construction maintains shape through regular washing cycles.
This base layer functions effectively under mid-layers and outer shells during hiking, climbing, mountaineering, and winter outdoor activities across Scottish Highlands, Welsh mountains, and English countryside environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does bamboo compare to merino wool for base layers?
Bamboo offers natural antibacterial properties and high wicking performance without the potential skin irritation that wool can cause. Bamboo is also faster drying and maintains softness through washing cycles.
Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, bamboo fabric is naturally hypoallergenic and does not irritate sensitive skin like wool fabrics can. The soft-touch surface and flatlock seams reduce chafing during extended wear.
How should I care for this base layer?
Machine wash in cold water with similar colours. Bamboo maintains its antibacterial properties and shape through regular washing. Avoid fabric softeners which can reduce wicking performance.
What activities is this base layer suitable for?
This base layer works well for hiking, climbing, mountaineering, winter sports, bushcraft, and any outdoor activities requiring temperature regulation and moisture management.
How does the fit work for layering?
The close fitting design works as the foundation layer in comprehensive layering systems. It sits next to the skin and accommodates mid-layers and outer shells without bulk or restriction.
Does bamboo maintain its properties over time?
Yes, bamboo fabric maintains its antibacterial properties, wicking performance, and softness through regular use and washing. The durable construction holds its shape and performance characteristics.
