Bamboo Boxers

Ouch, right? No, actually super soft, wicking, durable, breathable. My wife tried her bamboo activewear longsleeve tee for her run today and loved it. She also said she wanted to wear it all the time because of it's comfort. Funny, that's exactly what the websites say.

Bamboo has erupted lately into a do-all material, and the tree huggers love it because it quickly regrows (highly renewable). Part of the trend are flatware, flooring, furniture, cabinetry, and on and on. Based on my recent experience with the stuff, I'm definitely buying more of it soon.

Places to find it include Jonano, Shirts of Bamboo, The Bamboo Company, and BambooClothes.

The downside is that, since most bamboo comes from China, there are concerns about organic practices, fair labor, responsible growing practices, etc. I suggest asking about the source of the bamboo before buying or you may cancel out your positive efforts with other negatives.
