Ever wear a bamboo jersey?

So, I've worn it twice, and love it! First ride it was around 60º, and I wore it with a Terry bolero, and a Craft jacket. I was overdressed that day, for sure, and I worked up a sweat. I never got that cold damp feeling, so the wicking qualities are great.

The next time I wore it it was in the 40s. I wore it as a base layer under a wool turtleneck, and the same Craft jacket. I was perfectly dressed that day, never got too hot or too cold. I love how soft it is next to my skin.

I can't wait to test it out in hot weather. I'll give an update then.

Oh, and I'm sure I'll be wearing this as a top in the summer, like with jeans. It's pretty cute.

How much do you keep in the pockets? Will they carry a phone without stretching down below the saddle?

I didn't ride with my phone in the pocket of that jersey. I had it in my jacket. But, I did try it in there at home, and it seemed secure, and it didn't seem to sag down as much as my wool jersey pocket does.

I usually carry my phone, kleenex and some apricots or figs in my pockets. This would work for all of those, even though there are just 2 pockets.

I love bamboo clothes. i am wearing a bamboo t-shirt and bamboo yoga pants right now. I also have other bamboo clothing. I got a shirt for hubby to wear in bed cause he get's sweaty and it has made a big difference. So all you ladies with hot flashes? This could be the ticket. I have a bamboo blanket as well it is very nice and soft. Don't use fabris softener with the fiber though. I have herd it is not a good idea. Not sure why. But considering it is not cheap I have stopped using fabric softener.
