Bamboo Shirt is Witchcraft! (in a good way)

This https://onno.com/store/bamboo-lyocell-t-shirts-men/ bamboo shirt is my new favorite travel shirt. It was cool, comfortable and NEVER got stinky; despite repeated wearings in the heat of Southern Spain. I kept thinking "hmm, that's odd...I guess I can get another day out of it".

So I checked the info on bamboo clothing. Lo and Behold...https://cariki.co.uk/blogs/the-green-road/is-bamboo-really-antibacterial it is apparently a factual thing!

The above company has two kinds of bamboo. I preferred the feel of the "lyocell" bamboo. It was less "silky/clingy" on my less-that-fit, old man body. ; )

No relationship; business or otherwise with the company. Just a good experience.

My husband discovered bamboo shirts when we were in Costa Rica. They’re his favorites now, too. Ridiculously soft, lightweight, breathable. We now have bamboo sheets and pajamas.

Does bamboo clothing need ironing?<<

I don’t know about all, but my Onno shirts didn’t. They were wrinkle-free

Chris I followed the second link you included and it does not say what you say it does. The conclusion says it's no more anti-bacterial than any other highly processed cellulose-based viscose (rayon) fabric. But I know it can be very comfortable.

Thanks! I bought one for myself. I like the lyocell blend, and the price.

Found bamboo clothing a few years ago in Hawaii and have been buying when I get the chance since. Also bamboo underwear in addition to shirts.

I’m telling you my personal experience. In addition to being comfortable, it didn’t get stinky
