Kanske fel grupp men jag kunde inte låta bli :D
http://rktextil.e-butik.se/show_product.asp?artnr=68322&ref=%2Fshow%5Fcat%2Easp%3Fcat%
Hittat på flera ställen
Tillverkade av Bambu, ett nytt och miljövänligt material. Bambu har naturligt antibakteriella egenskaper, 3-4 gånger bättre absorbtionsförmåga än bomull och torkar mycket snabbt. För känslig och lättirriterad hud är bambu ett extra bra material.
Någon här som testat?

Nej, jag har inte testat kalsongerna! ;)
Bambutyg har jag däremot hemma, har sytt t-shirts till sönerna och materialet är härligt.
Svalt och hudvänligt. Köp ett par kallingar och testa, vet jag!

Hej
Verkar finnas mycket att läsa på om Bambu
Nedan ett litet utdrag för mer se länk:
http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bambu
Bamboo is not a fiber.
What is referred to as bamboo fiber in the market is actually viscose/rayon.
According to the FTC, All viscose or rayon fiber from Bamboo (as a source) that is imported into the US must carry a legal fiber content label declaration of viscose or rayon. All bamboo imported into the EU must use of the legal content declaration viscose; the EU does not permit the use of the word rayon.
As one of the fastest growing plants in the world, bamboo grows to its maximum height in about 3 months and reaches maturity in 3-4 years. It spreads rapidly across large areas. Because of relatively quick growing time and the ability to be grown without fertilizers or pesticides, the fiber is currently being marketed as an ‘eco-green-sustainable fiber.’ There are also claims that viscose or rayon from bamboo is biodegradable and anti-microbial. There are potential risks associated with using bamboo as a polymer source for rayon since there is currently a lack of transparency in the supply chain. It is not always clear which type of bamboo is used for fiber, where it is grown, how it is cultivated, harvested etc. To date there are no known organic certification of bamboo.
The process to make viscose or rayon fiber from bamboo is the same process used to produce viscose/ rayon from any other plant source. The cellulose is extracted from the bamboo, and then the cellulose is mixed with chemicals to convert the plant pulp into textile quality fiber. This process can be very polluting unless it is carefully controlled, which can be influenced by the age and condition of the equipment as well as whether there is any by-product recycling or effluent treatment. ( Rose, eco-textiles 2006)
There is only one case of manufacturing a regenerated cellulose fiber-where the chemicals used in the process are completely recycled with a recovery rate of 99.5%, this is known as a closed loop system. The fiber made using this closed looped process is Lenzings TENCEL ® Lyocell. More accurately described Lyocell is a solvent spun fiber in which the cellulose is directly dissolved keeping the cellulose much closer to that found in nature. TENCEL® Lyocell, also carries the Oeko Tex 100 certification and FSC certification ( http://www.fsc.org/en/) Currently organic standards are not in place for certifying regenerated fibers using trees as a source e.g. Eucalyptus, or Beechwood. FSC certification for TENCEL® Lyocell is for the forest and for the pulp, they also have been awarded the European-Eco flower label. (www.Lenzing.com)

Sommarin, ditt inlägg är ju jätteintressant!
Bambutyget som jag har provat (50% bomull, 50% bambu) känns lite för bra för att vara sant.
Jag brukar rata syntetmaterial & ska definitivt göra det i det här fallet också - när jag har förbrukat det som jag har kvar.
Senast som jag surfade efter info om bambu (i Januari?) så hittade jag bara få länkar och ingen annan information än att bambutyget är miljövänligt p.g.a. den snabba tillväxten.
Jag måste erkänna att jag känner mig lite snuvad på karamellen just nu. :(

Sockarna i bambu är helt otroliga sköna...

Jag läser det som om man givit det gamla cellulosatyget viscose (låter syntetiskt?) ett bättre namn med Bambu. Viscose har vi haft länge ofta blandat med bomull mjukt skönt, svalt och med lite mjuktungt fall. Enda nackdelen är väl att det inte är så slitstarkt som bomull och skrynklar lätt.
