Bamboo-Merino Hybrid Hoodies

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Hoodie Blends Woollen Warmth with Moisture-Banishing Bamboo

— April 18, 2018 — Lifestyle
Showers Pass is renowned for producing attire that uses technically engineered fabrics designed for cyclists and outdoorsy types in general, and the Oregon-based company has well and truly knocked it out of the park with this hybrid hoodie, which makes use of a proprietary 50/50 Bamboo-Merino Tech Fabric.

What makes this hoodie so special is that it features layers of bamboo and merino wool knit together. Bamboo is renowned for its moisture-wicking properties whilst also being soft to the touch, making it an excellent material for incorporating into a hoodie designed to promise dry comfort. Meanwhile, merino wool offers cozy warmth and a natural deodorizing effect.

What Showers Pass has managed to do is combine the best of the two materials, with the end result being a technical fabric that looks like it's only designed for soft comfort, but also offers incredible moisture-repelling properties. The hoodie's design features a jaw-dropping level of detail, including the hood being designed so as to comfortably fit underneath a cycling helmet.

Priced at $129, this hybrid hoodie is a must-have for the closet of any cycling, running or outdoor enthusiast who doesn't want to compromise on comfort, style or performance.
