You Should Be Wearing Bamboo
Bamboo isn’t just for pandas, anymore. The grass is being used to make everything from furniture to cutting boards, and even toothbrushes. A quick search for “bamboo” on Amazon presents you with over 90,000 creative uses of the plant.
One of the most exciting uses of bamboo is for fabric. It’s hard to believe, but bamboo can be made into bed sheets and clothing. In fact, bamboo viscose fabric is one of the most innovative fabrics on the market.
What Is Bamboo Viscose?
Bamboo viscose, also known as bamboo rayon, is a regenerated cellulose fiber. As other rayon, wood pulp is treated with solvents using the “viscose process” to create fibers that are woven into fabric.
The end result is a material with inherit properties that are perfect for use in UPF 50+ sunwear.

There are many benefits to using bamboo viscose fabric over alternatives such as cotton. Here are the reasons why we introduced a collection of bamboo-based sun protection clothing.
