If you’re like us at Cariloh HQ, we enjoy exercising, but we especially enjoy exercising comfortably. Many people (especially women) avoid going to the gym because they don’t want to look out of place (they assume everyone at the gym will be regulars and they’re afraid they’ll stick out). This is a real concern that you need to overcome. One main legitimate concern is “What do I wear?” When we’re demonstrating our Bamboo Fit line, we always make sure to mention how these products are “in style” and “trendy” and “everyone is wearing something like this… ours are just more comfortable because they’re made from ultra-soft, eco-friendly bamboo.”
You don’t need to take our word for it, though. Read this unbiased, field-tested review of Cariloha’s Bamboo Fitness Wear by ultra-runner and outdoor adventurer, Landon Faulkner…
Cariloha’s Bamboo Fit Review
By Landon Faulkner, Ultimate Runner and Adventurer
Finding the right fit for all of your fitness apparel needs is a whole lot easier when you shop Cariloha’s Bamboo Fit line. I’ve been sponsored by Cariloha for a few months now which has given me a great opportunity to test Cariloha’s Bamboo Fit line in many different situations.
Why Bamboo?
First off, lets talk briefly about why the heck bamboo is so awesome (for a full look at the benefits of bamboo read this prior post). Bamboo is an all-natural and renewable resource that has inherent qualities that are perfect for a fitness apparel line. Some of the great benefits of bamboo include; durable, soft, oder free and naturally wicking. Basically said, bamboo is a pretty rad wonder product.
Performance Ready
Whether you’re hitting the gym, running the track, or hitting the trails, Cariloha’s Bamboo Fit line is performance ready. Bamboo is naturally wicking and odor free. Because bamboo is a natural product unlike polyester it doesn’t easily harbor the bacteria that creates odor. Cariloha’s bamboo products also wick, which for me is great. I sweat like a crazy person and having a product that wicks well is very important to me.
Cariloha’s Babmoo Fit line is truly performance ready. One of my favorite aspects of the fit line is the softness of the bamboo. I’ve never worn such soft products, especially not fitness products. I suppose this could be a downside on those early mornings, however, when nothing feels better than some soft clothes and a warm bed instead of the trail or gym.
In the Heat or In the Cold
I have worn Cariloha’s Bamboo Fit apparel from hot California summer afternoons to cold Utah mornings. During hot runs the bamboo has been able to wick very efficiently. My crew top will look soaking wet from sweat, but it doesn’t feel wet on my skin. The bamboo breathes really well and has helped keep me cool on the those triple digit runs.
Cariloha’s Bamboo Fit line also preforms well in the cooler weather. They even offer a fitted long sleeve top that is great for those cooler morning workouts. Still breathable and lightweight this top also help keep you warm and pushing hard even when it’s cold.
