The Bamboo Shirt is a simple and tough trail shirt, perfect when you feel a little chilly on the trail.

Using bamboo fibers blended with polyester, the fabric is light and smooth. The shirt’s wind protection and natural moisture control performance will always keep you comfortable on the trails.

The ventilative wide fitting and open collar let the heat around the neck escape, offering comfort when it’s hot. Our proprietary design allows you to quickly roll up the sleeves, use the snap buttons for ventilation, or turn up the collar and button it up when it is cold. It effectively controls and flexibly adjusts the breathability and sensible temperature.

On and off the trails, you’ll probably be wearing it every day and never find a reason to hang it up.

Bamboo fibers absorb the discomforting heat and the accumulating humidity, while polyester has excellent fast-drying properties and durability. This 50/50 blend brings the best of both worlds for a tough and comfortable piece of fabric.

In a hot, humid environment, it is better to have fibers that absorb a lot of moisture to maintain a smooth texture. If the temperature is cold, it is better to use fibers that do not absorb a lot of moisture to keep comfortable and not feel too dry.

The chart below compares the moisture content inside the fibers in a hot, humid environment (a temperature of 30 degrees and 90% humidity) and an environment with optimal humidity (a temperature of 20 degrees and 65% humidity). We found that bamboo polyester maintains an optimal moisture content in both environments, and it has excellent humidity absorbency compared to a 100% polyester material.

Bamboo polyester has been confirmed to have more than double the deodorizing properties that deodorized synthetic fibers have.

It neutralizes alkaline smells like ammonia and also helps to neutralize other odors because of its high ability to absorb humidity.

The bamboo-polyester fabric naturally provides UV protection, with all colors offering a UPF rating of 20 or higher. Please note that the exact UPF value may vary depending on the color (see details below).

Woven fabric, which is often used as a material for shirts, is densely woven by warp and weft yarns. As a result, for the same weight and material, it is usually more windproof, dries faster, and is more durable than knitted fabrics, which are commonly used for base layers.

Furthermore, the UL Shirt adopts the basic “shirt” design, allowing for good ventilation by opening the front buttons. The essence of the shirt, the wind-protective fabric, and the good ventilation is namely the key feature of our hiking trail shirt, the UL Shirt.

On a chilly morning or late evening, turn up your collar and secure it with the added button to keep out the chill. A turned-up collar also helps to prevent your neck from getting sunburned when the sun is up.

Bamboo, a natural fiber, has excellent humidity absorbency, deodorizing properties, and block-out ultraviolet rays on par with wool. The weakness is that it is not that strong. Blending it with polyester, which has excellent durability and fast-drying properties, helped us achieve a material that can withstand rough handling when hiking and is comfortable to wear.

The bamboo fibers have a light, durable, and flexible feel. Traditionally bamboo has been widely used in Asia in a variety of products from food packaging to woven goods. Bamboo also grows extremely fast and can be harvested after only 2-3 years so is a very environmentally sound material.

The 50/50 bamboo/polyester blend has a unique cool, silky texture that doesn’t wrinkle easily even if stuffed somewhere in your backpack. The polyester also adds a nice glossy shine to the fabric making you stand out on the trail.

• There may be differences between the actual dimensions and the dimensions stated due to shrinking and sewing errors.
• Fabric may shrink from wear and tear or frequent washing, causing dimensions to change over time.

• Due to the nature of the fabric, areas subject to friction—such as where a backpack makes contact—may develop slight pilling over time. With continued use, this can lead to changes in texture and appearance, adding character unique to the material.
• The dye may react to chlorine, causing discoloration. This is particularly true when exposed to high concentrations of chlorine, such as in chlorine-based bleach. Discoloration may also occur from the chlorine found in tap water. Avoid soaking the fabric for extended periods.

• Machine wash below 40°C.
• Wash separately or use laundry net bag.
• Tumble dry below 60°C.
• Line dry in the shade.
• Do not bleach and do not use fabric softener.
• Iron on low, cover the pants with a cloth. Do not steam.
• The material, made from natural bamboo fibers, may get fuzzy and white marks due to friction with your backpack.
