DannyShane Cycling Jerseys - Why Bamboo?
DannyShane cycling jerseys are made from 50% Bamboo White Ash (BWA), the latest innovation in natural performance fibers. Bamboo is the perfect choice because it is an eco-friendly, quickly renewable, green alternative to chemicals. Bamboo forests, with their many shoots and rapid growth, are completely renewable within 4-5 years.
Bamboo white ash also provides cyclists with many comfort and performance benefits, including:
- Naturally wicks moisture rapidly to keep you dry (without any irritating chemicals)
- Captures odor (naturally anti-mocrobial)
- Provides thermal regulating benefits
- Fibers are durable and long-lasting
- Creates high breathability
- Provides natural UV protection
- Provides ultra soft comfort
- BWA is in every weave of fabric and does not wash out like competitors' chemical rinses
While other cycling garments may contain wool or up to 10% bamboo, our fabric is made from 50% bamboo white ash. This makes the DannyShane roadwear collection more breathable, comfortable, thermal regulating and odor resistant than any other performance wear. The moisture-wicking capabilities of bamboo far exceeds that of cotton, wool or any other material. In fact, bamboo absorbs 60% more water than cotton, keeping skin dry, comfortable and cooler in hot temperatures - warmer in cool temperatures.
DannyShane Cycling Bibs
Cycling bibs require a degree of micro-compression that is not available in a bamboo blend fabric, so DannyShane went in search of the most environmentally-friendly material we could find that did not compromise bib performance. The result is an original design of DannyShane cycling bibs made from Italian fabric that is Bluesign® certified and a blend of Lycra (10%) and 100% recycled nylon (90%).
