    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.

    I have a couple of bamboo tanks.

    I love them. But I'd be suspicious of jersey pockets' ability to hold very much. Bamboo knits seem to stretch pretty similarly to cotton.

    I ordered it! Thanks for pointing it out, NY. I'll let you know how I like it asap.

    I LOVE my bamboo sheets. Seriously, I have two sets of sateen as well. Nope, wash the bamboo and put them back on. Light and airy.
