You don’t need to be standing in the middle of a thicket to find bamboo amazing. The woody grass grows more than an inch an hour, making it a renewable resource that fuels everything from construction to dinner (you’ve had the shoots) to modern performance fabrics. Case in point on that last item: this Renew Bamboo Hoodie. Turn bamboo into performance rayon and you get a sweat-wicking, sun-blocking fabric that’s far more functional on the trail than cotton but maintains the supreme softness. Honest truth, you’ve felt nothing like this. We blended it with recycled polyester and spandex to enhance the wicking power and keep it moving freely as you wander the wild. And it fights the burn on all-day forays, with UPF 50+ performance plus a 3-piece hood and long sleeves for more coverage. You’ll find it only natural to throw it on any time you head out.
