The new bamboo fabric is exceptionally soft and of course stretchy and quick drying. They were the perfect layer under my thick skin shirt or drysuit liner and were a lot easier to wash and dry along the way. I also wore one on a couple quick hikes and it was plenty breathable. Kudos to IR for this great new fabric. Can't wait to use these shirts by themselves this summer!

For this reason, your base layer should be not only comfortable, but easily washable and quick drying. Cotton is out of the question, which leaves you to a mostly synthetic selection. In a field dominated by synthetics, Immersion Research has introduced some natural fibers with their bamboo clothing.
