Synthetic clothing Ewww! factor..Why wear all natural fibre clothing for workouts:
Natural Fibre Fabrics = Hemp, Bamboo, Organic Cotton, Regular Cotton, Linen, Silk, Wool, etc.
Both Hemp and Bamboo are fantastic workout fabrics! Both are naturally body temperature regulating, meaning they keep your body cool when you are hot and keep your body warm when you are cold. Excellent sweat absorption! Hemp has 99% UVA + UVB protection. Both Bamboo and Hemp have Anti-bacterial properties (bacteria causes odour). Read our past blogs "Why buy bamboo clothing" and "Why buy hemp clothing" for more detail.
Don't believe me? Try the synthetic vs natural fibre challenge!
Our Outdoorsy Miss Adventures has taken the synthetic vs natural fibre challenge over and over again over the last decade and was very surprised just how big the difference is between the two types of fabric. Results were the same every time!
Try wearing a top and or leggings made of polyester or spandex on a hot humid day and go for a 30 min speed walk. Then make a list of things that your body feels after that walk while wearing those leggings. Have a couple hours of rest then put on your all natural fibre (this is key, if the garment contains even the smallest % of synthetic material you will still stink) bamboo or hemp top and or leggings and do the exact same walk (hopefully at the same outdoor temperature for accurate comparison). After your walk write a list of things that are different from how your body felt after the walk in the synthetic leggings. You will feel a very noticeable difference!
If you do not wish to take the challenge and would like an explanation of the differences..Read On!
Synthetic fabrics make you feel like you are wearing a plastic bag in many ways, #1 sweaty #2 sticky #3 overheated #4 stinky armpits. Even supposedly sweat wicking synthetic fabrics feel uncomfortable after a hard workout. Hemp or bamboo clothing regulates your body temperature so you don't feel these awful symptoms of synthetic clothing wear. Both Hemp and Bamboo are moisture absorbing fabrics that soak up sweat like a sponge. Hemp and Bamboo fabrics air dry quickly (drying time varies depending on the thickness of the fabric). Say 'Goodbye' to armpit odour due to the Anti-bacterial properties of natural fibre fabrics.

Our Outdoorsy Miss Adventures has taken the synthetic vs natural fibre challenge over and over again over the last decade and was very surprised just how big the difference is between the two types of fabric. So impressed with Bamboo and Hemp that she now swears by ONLY natural fibre base layers on both her upper body and lower body for ALL workouts and hot weather wear. The next challenge is to find natural fibre outer wear for rainy day adventures and workouts.
