Sprayway's Bamboo Clothing
Not just for peckish pandas as Sprayway launches bamboo clothing range for spring.

Sprayway is doing its bit for sustainability with some of
its new for spring 2008 Lifewear clothing using eco-friendly
bamboo-based fabrics.
Aside from its primary role of keeping pandas well fed, bamboo is
also comfortable against the skin, dries fast, has temperature
control properties - warm in winter, breathable in summer - and is
also naturally antibacterial and antifungal.
The bamboo fabric is used in the men's Mori range and its women's
equivalent, the Torino, notably in softshell jacket form and also as
performance tees.
The jackets are apparently streamlined and cut with pack-friendly
pockets, so they're practical as well as looking good. The fabric has
stretch and weight looks decent enough at a claimed 480 grammes for
the men's version.
The tees can be used either alone or as a baselayer when the
bamboo's wicking and quick-drying properties should work well. Both
the softshell jackets retail for £80 while the tees and £35
and £40 respectively with blokes paying more...
Sprayway's Bambo Collection also includes shorts, pants and
combi-pants and a variety of shirt styles for both men and women.
