    I've worn bamboo socks.
    They're very soft and airy.

    I have bamboo cabinets, but no, I have not worn a bamboo jersey. I guess we're not being very helpful.

    This is the first bamboo jersey I've seen, so I'm not surprised if no one has worn one before.

    I sleep on bamboo sheets, and wear bamboo socks. I bet I'd love that jersey!

    Going by my sheets, I'd say it's very much better at wicking than polyester.

    I think you should buy it and give us a review.

    if I had extra money and needed a jersey I would get that orange one for sure.

    I think the odds are good that I will buy it and write up a review.

    It may take a while, though. Since it's technically not hot out yet.

    Just wait til Saturday; it's supposed to be 70 (with all this snow still on the ground!)

    You know, this may be good as a cold weather base layer, too. The only ride I was cold on this winter was the one where I didn't wear my bamboo socks.

    I'm getting one, too.

    I have a 3/4 sleeve bamboo (blend) jersey by Zoic. It's very soft and I used it on my commutes during cooler weather last year. About 5 miles each way. It wicked well enough for that length of ride - never got saturated - but I don't know how it would perform if I were to wear it on a longer ride.
